<b>Lose the Summer Bulge </b><br>

Stuffed yourself in the silly season and looking to shed those unwanted Chrissie kilos? Ingham Turkey Easy Cuts are a lean, healthy and not to mention delicious meal solution to help you stay trim this summer and just in time for Healthy Weight Week, which starts on the 23^rd January.<br><br>

Get inspired to try something different for dinner that is lean and healthy. The aim of Healthy Weight Week is to encourage all Australians to achieve and maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle and what better way to start than by changing how and what you eat.<br><br>

Registered nutritionist and accredited practicing dietician with a PhD in Nutritional Science, Joanna McMillan says 'when it comes to weight control and heart health, one of the key things to focus on is including healthy fats in your diet, while reducing the intake of saturated fats. Fatty meats are a key source of saturated fat in Australian diets and using turkey in place of fattier cuts of red meat is a positive move. '<br><br>

This summer really think about what you are throwing on the BBQ and try lean mean Turkey to bust those weight woes. Joanna says 'Turkey steaks are the leanest cuts with less than 1g of saturated fat per 100g. Compare this to lamb chops with approximately 3.5g saturated fat per 100g or cuts of beef which vary from 2 to 3g saturated fat for a fat-trimmed steak. Bottom line is that turkey provides all the protein with very little fat." <br><br>
