Eating large amounts of red meat can raise LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, but new research suggests this is true of white meat, too. The findings were published online by The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Researchers randomly assigned 113 healthy adults, to follow a four-week diet with high levels of either red meat, white meat (chicken and turkey), or plant-based protein (such as nuts, whole grains, soy products, and legumes). Afterward, LDL levels in the high-red-meat diet group rose, as predicted, but the researchers found that high levels of poultry had the same effect on LDL levels as red meat.
In comparison, people in the plant-protein group saw their LDL levels drop by about 7%. The researchers cited the diet's phytosterols (plant chemicals), which can lower cholesterol levels, as the most likely reason. They concluded that reducing your intake of ALL meat — red and white — and eating more plant proteins may be the best approach for managing LDL levels.

You are unhappy with your body♂️♀️😞😤
It seems like it takes so much effort and so many sacrifices to lose just a few pounds of weight every week (if you are very committed)...
and on top of that you are still not where you want to be!!
🤔 You begin to question every single choice you make and whether it will speed things up or not; only to make you more frustrated and start searching for quick fixes (pills, supplements etc) 💊💊
Then you reflect upon yourself and question whether it is worth it to keep wasting money on these quick fixes in order to maintain a fit physique.
At this point, after weeks or even months of trying anything out of desperation, you give up hope and go back to your old ways...🚧🚧
The sad news are that now you have a bad memory about exercise and nutrition and you don't trust anything you see on media because it looks like an impossible fairy tale!!!
🎉🎉Good news🎉🎉
This shouldn't be the case....you can still be saved from this trap that social media and the supplement industry put you in.
The only catch is allow me to do my best to help you and give you the knowledge and the skills to overcome any obstacle or doubt you have.
Because once you realise that struggles and tough times (when you think you are not moving forward) are just puzzles that need to be solved 🔜 you can search for solutions instead of giving up!!
How?
Through perseverance and consistency, day in and day out!!! 🔁🗓️

Had a blast at the field museum in Chicago where the exploration of the life below ground was fascinating!! 🐛🕷️🐜
Then had a grasshopper cocktail at the 360 Chicago building where we enjoyed the sunset watching over Chicago city.
