If you’re looking for a quick and delicious way to eat for fat loss, try this new fat-burning smoothie I call “Death by Chocolate.” I created it for my new Men’s Health book, The Metashred Diet.
It’s part of the “fat-loss acceleration” phase of the 28-day MetaShred Diet. The smoothie is loaded with protein, healthy fat, and fiber, the combination of which helps fill you up and keep you satisfied. And it’s low in fast-absorbing carbs, so you don’t get a huge sugar rush that slows fat burning.
Most importantly, it’s delicious. You can eat it anytime throughout your day as a meal replacement. Because you can take it in the car or on the train, it’s an easy way to get in a great breakfast, lunch, or even dinner when you’re in a rush.
