Get the Protein, Forgo the Fat
The bottom line? It's absolutely okay to eat meat as long as you don't eat Fred Flintstone size portions every day and you get the majority of your protein from plant sources, says Dr. Lieberman. Here's how to get the protein you need without the saturated fat.
Toss back a soy cocktail. Soy foods such as soy milk and tofu are an excellent source of protein. But if you don't enjoy these foods, drink one of the great tasting soy shakes available in health food stores, suggests Dr. Lieberman. "They're a great way to consume high quality protein every day or a few times a week."
Before you select a soy shake, read its label, advises Gregory Burke, M.D., professor and interim chairperson in the department of public health sciences at Wake Forest University School of Medicine in Winston Salem, North Carolina. While some brands are low in fat and
contain natural sweeteners, others are loaded with sugar and fat.
Get keen on quinoa. The beadlike, ivorycolored seeds of this plant are usually eaten like rice. But you can also cook it in fruit juice and eat it for breakfast, use it as a substitute for rice in pudding, or make a cold salad of quinoa, beans, and chopped vegetables. Its soft texture and somewhat bland flavor make it easy to add to other foods, such as soups and pasta dishes. You'll find quinoa in health food stores.
Use the palm computer. To avoid eating too much meat at any one meal, use this simple guideline of Dr. Giampapa's: Don't eat more meat than you can fit in the palm of your hand. And aim to eat four handfuls of vegetables to every one handful of fish or lean meat.
Wok meat into your diet. Adding a small amount of steak or pork to a vegetable stir fry lets you savor the flavor of meat for a fraction of its saturated fat and calories, says Dr. Lieberman.
