Step 4: Improve Protein Consumption

It is very important to reducing your risk of coronary problems by eating the right types of proteins. Foods that are high in saturated fat are not easily consumed and can potentially clog your arteries. Here are a few other guidelines to remember.

• Eat lean cuts of meat, the leaner the better.

• Eat more pork, chicken and turkey over beef products.

• Try to consumer protein alternatives if possible.

• Remove the skin from the meats that you eat as this will store a great deal of fat.• A portion of protein should be no larger than the size of your palm.

• Incorporate more dried beans into your diet such as kidney beans, pinto beans and lentils.
