Peppered Beef Jerky Burns Fat?
I’m convinced. After spending a week eating peppered beef jerky for protein (about three times a day), I looked trimmer and did in fact shed a couple pounds. Of course there were other factors – I didn’t eat junk food during that week and I walked at least 30 minutes a day for exercise – but I’m convinced that peppered beef jerky played a factor in trimming my waist and providing energy throughout the day.
A bit of research on this theory shows that the high protein content in jerky feeds your muscles and in turn burns fat. Also, anything peppered or spicy really does speed up our metabolism (ay, mex food lovers)!
Either way, jerky tastes delicious! I was a bit disappointed however when I found that most grocery store versions contain loads of sodium, sugars, and even MSG (monosodium glutamate)!
Therefore, I buy Hal’s Homemade Jerky. Hal sells his delicious, MSG-and-sugar-free jerky locally in his Oklahoma town, but it is available to the masses via Ebay. Best part? He offers free shipping on all orders, and when I received my jerky in the mail it was sealed fresh with mini packets of spicy pepper. Thanks, Hal!
