Lose Weight And Gain Energy With Organic Beef And Pork

By Anna Patterson


Anyone who has taken meal advice from someone claiming to be an expert will find themselves with information that may be contradictory. This is not to say that scientific findings are incorrect but the question is how closely should one follow since a balanced diet is best for most. It is not only nutritionally sound but when portioned correctly a person will have energy. Protein is a good source of energy and can be found in many organic beef and pork products that have not been processed or is without added growth hormones.

There are many benefits to eating natural or organic products. Some people say that they have fewer health problems related to the respiratory system and digestion is easier. Others say that minimal processing allows more of a natural taste to come through after cooking and that price differences are made up for in quality.

While the cost may be slightly more, the product can go a long way. When added to balanced meals that contain at least one fresh vegetable and a starch, this can be quite filling for anyone trying to control their weight. There are many resources that can assist with how many calories have been consumed and the amount of exercise needed to burn the extra pounds.

It also helps to change preparation methods for cooking. Instead of seasoning with salt based products, try herbs with a light sprinkle of sea salt. An even better measure is to eliminate sauces and gravies entirely. If this seems impossible, then try making one from scratch instead of using a prepared product that is high in sodium.

If a person likes to add gravy or sauce to their meat, they should reconsider. Because this type of meat has no added hormones or is injected with a salt solution for a juicy texture, it can get dry when cooked under high heat. Cooking at medium heat preserves the natural flavor and allows it to cook evenly.

Outdoor cooking should be done under low flames or temperatures. One alternative would be to bake or boil meat until slightly firm and finish on the grill for smoky flavor. Anyone who is uncertain about cooking this type of meat should look at recipes or online cooking tutorials.

While cutting back on gravy or heavy sauce is beneficial, there are some reasonable alternates. One would be to soak meat in a low sodium marinade overnight. A rub may be just as effective but some contain a lot of salt or sugar so making a homemade version is a good idea. Topping meat with sauteed or lightly grilled vegetables are solutions to counter dryness.

Although lean meat is the most healthy, some packages may be sold with fatty marbling attached. It is best to remove prior to cooking but others may choose to keep it intact so the meat will remain moist. One thing that some cooks may do is cook their beef or pork in a light coat of olive oil or top with a pat of butter.
