[globalmaa]

So for over a year now i have stopped eating red meat. i have plateaued in my weight and size and one of the trainers at my gym suggested i eat red meat if i want to gain that little extra weight and size. i've read conflicted statements saying it is good or bad. What is your thoughts on red meat. There was no real reason why i stopped.

I'd eat it everyday, and twice on Sunday if I could afford to.

All I have to say is... You missed out on a great tasting protein source for over a year.
Other than that I got nothing.

Just think about tribes in africa and borneo and places like that. They have no societal pressure or media telling them what to do. They just do things to survive.

They will go to great lengths and put themselves in all sorts or peril just to get meat. keep in mind these are people who live in a jungle and there are plants everywhere that they could just walk over and eat.

So you have to ask yourself, why would they do something so dangerous unless there was a great benefit to eating it?

They do do stuff just to waste time, they do things to survive and to feed and protect their families.

I personally eat it twice per day plus chicken and pork to lose weight. I also eat it to improve performance and when I am gaining weight.

I just can not understand someone telling you to stop eating red meat.

I understand processed food limitations but whole, good, nutritious, glorious cuts of red meat..... NARP....

Go grab the bloke and take 365 days of torture out on his ass...

I silently shed a tear while reading this.

What is your thoughts on red meat.

Red meat is the most anabolic substance you can buy on the open market. With it's ideal amino acid profile, it's an excellent source of protein, and contains a good deal of the other essential macro---fat. Micronutrients are also present in abundance.

Anyone interested in good health, not even to mention building mass/strength, should be including red meat in their nutrition plan.

[lolakitten]

I eat red meat at least 3 meals a day!!!
It's yummy.
High in protein/aminos/iron/b's.
It's yummy.
Fats good for your brain.
It's yummy.





Did I mention it's yummy?

the choice to stop eating red meat was mine and only mine. my diet at the time really sucked. i wasn't a big fan of it so i just cut it out. but now i'm sensing it wasn't right.

Red meat has high content if creatine in it.

Ah. sorry i misjudged. thought you were advised.

If it grows, flies, or walks, eat it. If it comes in a tub and has creatine wrote on it then drink it. Other than that you choose the toppings dude.

Those are all great supps, just make sure your diet is in check. I wouldn't eat red meat all the time though. Eat it on weekends for example, because I once read an article and a study by some organization stated that red meat lowers morality by 20%. Meaning your lowering your chances of living a longer life. Not sure if it was a true study.

Get some kangaroo up in your system

Sounds credible to me.

It was probably the study on highly processed meat where they found eating salami ten times a day wasn't healthy , and the media reported that as being true for all meat.

Edit .. Wizard! I knew it was that little slice of retardedness. Good to see the bbc being quoted too ( official uk government propaganda , uk government wants to reduce meat consumption)

Op, watch fat head , its a documentary that might help you

[nickyfondz]

If I could eat nothing but red meat I would. Just had it tonight. 93% lean, 7% fat. Great for a cut!

That's just a link to a newspaper report. But there was a link to the actual study.

If you read down into the "results" section, you will find this gem- "Men and women with higher intake of red meat were less likely to be physically active and were more likely to be current smokers, to drink alcohol, and to have a higher body mass index (Table 1). In addition, a higher red meat intake was associated with a higher intake of total energy but lower intakes of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables..."

Even though I love it, i'd not suggest a guy eat it jf he didn't enjoy it. Plus it isn't cheap. I think you can do great with chicken too.

[DrFlexologist]

Cheap cuts of red meat are the way to go if you can't afford porterhouse steaks. Just learn how to cook a little bit. You can't go wrong with cheap cuts of red meat and root vegetables in a crock pot. Can't.

I think red meat is tasty and delicious and it's a great source of protein and happiness.

But all that being said, the plateau in your weight is not a function of red meat intake. You could increase calorie/nutrient intake without the presence of red meat and accomplish your goal of gaining additional weight.

It depends on the source of the meat. Cow originating from CAFO's doesnt have the same profile a a cow raised on a salad bar of grasses. CAFO cattle eat something a cow was never ever meant to eat: corn.

The only thing better for you than red meat is the organs.

I recently had a zebra steak..... i can confirm that zebras are delicious

Ostrich Fillet steaks which are considered red meat, are exceptionally good as well. Low fat , if you are concerned about it.

Have tried ostrich and kangaroo. Not tried wildebeest but i have had a few water-buffalo steaks which are supposed to be similar. Proper carnivore i am

Zebra though - top of the tree in terms of all round yummy-ness.

[TonedJordan]

Although I am not over 35, I wanted to add to the discussion about red meat and it's "unhealthy" stigma according to previously mentioned study. Lets not forget that McDonalds burgers count as red meat...eating a nice healthy steak with veg and potatoes is also red meat. So that study is no doubt very flawed and probably doesn't show the full picture.
