This post is dedicated to a great food known as Ground Turkey. Like Ground Beef, Ground Turkey can be used in endless delicious recipes. Ground turkey can be used in meals such as: Hamburgers, Chili, Tacos, Burritos, Spaghetti, Lasagna, Sloppy Joes, and so on. These dishes are typically high in fat and cholesterol, and most notably in calories. However, Substituting Ground Turkey for Ground Beef will significantly lower the fat, cholesterol, and calories in each of theses respective dishes. That is of course as long as you choose the leanest turkey.

This technique is designed to help you lower your calorie consumption while still being able to enjoy tasty meals. Remember to watch your portions and exercise regularly to maximize your results. Just because you eat a food that’s lower in calories, fat, and carbs doesn’t mean you can eat as much of it as you want.

So if you cook your own meals try substituting lean ground turkey for recipes that require ground beef. If someone else cooks in your home, encourage them to use lean ground turkey now and then. If you eat out instead of cooking, I encourage you to stay home and cook instead! ;-)

So give it a try, I think youll like it. If not, try a different brand, some taste better than others. Turkey is a great lean meat and tastes very good. I hope you like it.

If there ever was a magic pill that could make the pounds melt off never to return, you would not be reading this post right now. Everyone would know about it and everyone would probably be lining up to get it. Of course there are literally hundreds of products out there that claim to be that “Magic Pill”.

Most “Fat Burning” weight loss pills are actually dangerous stimulants that artificially raise your metabolism. While this may actually work for some, it will only succeed at making others sick. Lets say there is a pill out there that you can take that will make you lose all the weight you want. So what do you do after the weight is gone and you now need to keep it off? Do you keep taking the pills for the rest of your life? What if you develop a tolerance to the active ingredients (most people do) and they stop working? You will likely gain some if not all of the weight back.

The answer is to STOP looking for the quick and easy solution. Understand that you need to make incremental permanent lifestyle changes that will work over the longterm. Avoid the shortcuts, ditch the Magic Pills, forget the Crash Diets, and realize that you make long term commitments for permanent change.

Don’t give up, lasting results will take time but are well worth the effort.
