Is awesome!! Period.
Most statistics that say it increases the risk of heart disease and all manner of other ailments are skewed in my opinion. When it talks about the “average American,” you have to realize how most people get their red meat intake. Usually it’s the patty on a great big juicy burger with a big white bun, mayonnaise, ketchup, fries, and a soft drink or beer. Or perhaps a steak…with fries, or baked potato, and of course a soft drink, tea, or some other high carb beverage. The insulin released in the body, just from the starches in the white bread, fries, or baked to potato (let alone a sugary drink) cause all this "quick" energy to be stored on your body. Red meat is not the culprit… sugars and simple carbohydrates are.
Actually, red meat is good for you if you eat it by itself or with veggies. People have been eating red meat and thriving for thousands of years (I just read this morning in 1 Samuel how the prophet Samuel gave Saul “a shoulder” to eat in celebration of his coronation.)
So what are some good ways of getting meat into your diet? A steak with grilled asparagus or some other type of grilled veggie is perfect. Flank steak and eggs is good too. Or how about low carb chili consisting of ground beef, tomatoes, and spices?…oh yeah.
Red meat is full of valuble amino acids that help you rebuild your body after tough workouts.
So anyway…. Eat your meat!!! (just leave the carbs alone)
