Getting plenty of protein in your diet is important for many reasons, and it can also help you with weight loss. Protein helps you feel fuller for longer periods of time, which means you will feel less tempted to eat too much in between meals. Steak is an excellent source of protein, and there are plenty of ways you can enjoy it when you are dieting to lose weight. For example, you can easily include it in recipes such as the one below, which combines steak, spinach and mushrooms together for a delicious and healthy lunch or light dinner.
