The Secret to Fat-Burning Lunches: Protein, Healthy Fats, and Fiber 🍽️🔥

The key to a fat burning lunch comes down to three things. One, adequate protein and consuming your protein first in the meal, consuming healthy fats and lower glycemic carbohydrates. First, let's talk about protein. Protein helps to preserve your muscle mass. Your muscle mass is your metabolic currency. It's what revs your metabolism. It's what's going to maintain your strength as you age. And it keeps you full, reducing hunger throughout the day, making binging hunger cravings less likely. Healthy fats are important because slow digestion. That means that the food in your stomach stays in there a little bit longer, increasing feelings of fullness and again, reducing hunger and cravings. And then focusing on your lower glycemic carbs. These are carbs that have more fiber, less sugar in them. These would be like your green leafies, cauliflower, broccoli. All of these veggies are going to provide you with more fiber. Therefore, they blunt the blood glucose and insulin spike.
