Pork
Pork is a favourite of mine , but it ’ s not the healthiest protein out there . In fact , it ’ s usually the first to go when trying to diet .
Pork is fairly lean , but it ’ s not as clean as beef or poultry . It is rich in B vitamins , as the book points out , and it ’ s loaded in other minerals . For the purpose of this program , pork is permitted on the Metabolic Cookbook diet .
Here are some the recipes :
Protein only — Chili Lime Pork Strips and Pork Tandoori sound mouth-wateringly good . Protein and fats — try the Greek Pork Tenderloin or the Spicy Pork Chops . Protein , fats , and veggies — The Mint Pork Stir-Fry sounds quite tasty . Protein , fats , carbs and veggies — I ’ m a huge fan of Mu Shu Pork Wraps .
You ’ ll definitely want to be sure to spend time preparing these recipes right . Improperly cooked pork can be home to a host of bacteria , so don ’ t rush these recipes !

Red Meat
Any diet that ditches red meat is one I will avoid , but this program actually promotes the consumption of red meat – albeit in moderation .
The book talks about the lower-fat cuts of meat , as well as a few beef-alternatives like bison , elk , and ostrich . Interesting !

Protein only — Beef Roast with Apples looks odd , but I love Shredded Beef !
