Honoring our Fallen Warriors While Advocating for Beef

Letty also runs to advocate for the power of beef in the diet as a member of the Northeast Team Beef program.  In her earlier years, consuming beef, or any animal product, wasn’t part of Letty’s diet.  “I was a vegan but with all the running I was doing, my doctor advised me to incorporate lean protein into my diet,” commented Letty “Specifically, I was to eat red meat 2-3 times a week.  I am happy to say, I feel stronger and recovery is now quicker although, these days, I am eating lean beef 3-4 times a week.”.  Now, an avid beef eater, Letty can attest to the first-hand nutritional benefits beef has to offer! She goes on to share, “I love the quick recovery benefits of beef, as well as the minimal amount of calories I take in (with beef) to maintain my fitness level.”  If you’re curious to learn more about beef and protein, check out https://www.beefitswhatsfordinner.com/nutrition/beef-protein
