Eat Steak

Steak contains a highly concentrated monounsaturated fat called oleic acid.

Why is this important?

Because Oleic acid is the same fat that makes up 60% of Olive oil. Pundits and experts regularly tout the benefits of olive oil, and including it in your daily eating.

I regularly tout the benefits of eating lean red meat. Particularly ground sirloin and top loin. For every 4 ounces of ground sirloin steak, you are only consuming 150 calories, 5 grams of fat (2 grams saturated), and 24 grams of high quality protein.

If you're not a vegetarian, strongly consider adding more lean meat to your eating. It will allow you to build strength, improve your heart and vascular health, and lose body fat.
