RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

Protein is the best nutrient for jumpstarting your metabolism (how fast you burn calories), squashing your appetite, and helping you eat less at meals (body fat loss = consuming less calories than you burn). Have a LEAN protein (white meat, fish, eggs, beans, unsalted/raw nuts) with every meal! Since protein leaves you feeling more full, if you start in the morning, you'll eat less throughout the day. A perfect breakfast instead of cereal/bagel would be two eggs scrambled with cherry tomatoes & 1/2cup fresh strawberries on the side.
