It’s never too late to take the first step toward a healthier you, especially if it’s an easy, delicious step. Luckily, with pork, eating right does not mean skimping on flavor or satisfaction.

Did you know that one of the surest steps to a healthy lifestyle is to fill up on certain foods you already love? Consumption of extra-lean protein like the flavorful pork tenderloin has been linked to a greater feeling of fullness, retention of muscle mass and a reduced urge to eat.

And pork is leaner today than ever before, with 27 percent less saturated fat than it had 21 years ago. We like to enjoy today’s lean pork at medium-rare for optimal flavor. Cook chops, loins and roasts to 145 degrees F with a three minute rest for juicy and tender pork that’s tastier (and skinnier) than ever.

But the news gets even better!

Weight Watchers has just published a mouthwatering guide to all things pork—from succulent shoulder to the lean, mean loin. With delicious recipes, a visual guide to 14 versatile cuts and tips on cooking techniques, we dare you to not get inspired.
