    If it had a pulse, I'll eat it; preferably after said pulse has stopped, but that is not necessarily a requirement.

    I'm a Paleo follower from NYC, and I found out recently that I am directly descended from the Cro-Magnon mammoth hunters of Western Europe (via 23andMe.com), so yeah, I'm a meat eater. But I no longer eat it indiscriminately; it needs to be GOOD meat, like grass-fed beef, free range hormone-free chicken; plus I have a butcher here who gets me wild boar, elk, deer, antelope, caribou, pheasant, wild goose and duck...all free-range preserve raised.

    Take a look at my profile and my diaries; I've lost almost 20 lbs. in 4 months, and I'm never hungry.

    And...60 is the new 40!

    I just found out I'm 96% more cro-magnon descent than anyone else via 23andme. I, too, eat paleolithically. We hunt/fish and buy our beef straight from a ranch who then butchers and packages it up for us right there. There's never a better tasting steak than the ones from our freezer! :)

    Personally, I was chubbier when I ate less meat.
    I assume your vegan friend knows how to get non-meat protein though. I didn't haha.

    Depends on the meat and how it's prepared if I'll like it or not. Actually, I have to remind myself to have some and have to plan to get it in two or three times a week.

    I could be a fatazz vegan easy. Oreos, French fries, falafel, hummus, vegan chocolate, coconut anything, nuts, pasta, vegan sausage.

    There used (?) to be this Tumblr vegan blogger/artist (radfatvegan or something like that) who for a short time had a cooking YT channel. She was obese and unapologetic about it and the meals that she created were...my god, most of them went over 1k cals a serving EASY. There was no mystery as why she was over 300lbs and vegan.

    Protein fills me up, and helps me keep my muscle mass. Meat is the leanest, lowest carb protein there is.

    I only eat organic meat, it is more expensive, but better to eat good quality and once a week than bad one every day grown with hormones

    It depends. I'm not vegan, I love meat and it is quite filling. However if it's not white meat, I can only eat a little or else I feel sick. I'm vegetarian 3 days a week and eat meat 4 days, it's hard but it is fewer calories. I love meat though lol plus protein benefits

    Organic venison for this guy & non farm raised fish. How do I know they are organic? I harvest it all myself & process my own. From field & water to my table with no middle man/woman between me & my meat... :)

    ^^^ wrong - eating in a surplus causes weight gain, not just eating meat...

    as for me, as long as it's heart has stopped, it's fair game!!

    I eat little to no meat. If I do, it's seafood or chicken. NO red meat.

    I think meat is good esp in a healthy diet, lean meat with fat/skin removed. High protein too x

    My vegan friend thinks it is easier to keep her weight down since she does not eat meat.

    I think meat fills me up.

    How about ya?

    I don't understand your friend's logic...there are a lot of meats that are very low calorie...there are a lot of vegan friendly foods that are calorie bombs.

    I think that whether you eat meat or not is pretty irrelevant where weight management is concerned...I know some fat *kitten* vegans and vegetarians...

    The heart being stopped is only a prerequisite for me, if I plan on eating said heart. Granted, I'd prefer not catching a deer hoof to the jaw.

    Haven't eaten it (at least not intentionally) since 1974.

    Got fat that way, stayed fat that way, lost weight that way.

    I think eating meat (or not eating meat) is completely irrelevant to weight loss, and that everyone should eat anything legal that s/he finds tasty, nutritious, and satisfying.

    This!

    I haven't eaten meat in about 35 yrs

    I was a obese non meat eater

    I am now a thin non meat eater


    Weight loss- calorie deficit
    Maintaining weight- maintenance
    Weight gain- calorie surplus

    If you like meat- then eat it!
    If you don't like it then don't eat it

    I'm a pescatarian and I don't regret it. I feel better and healthier this way. I don't think not eating meat has anything to do with weigh loss. You can still gain weight if you eat unhealthy food.

    I think it's best to let the animal live and go eat something (not someone) else.

    I personally would eat much less healthily if I didn't eat meat. Most of the meat I eat is lean (chicken breast, ground turkey, pork tenderloin, etc.) and the protein fills me up. If I didn't eat meat I imagine I'd eat a crapton of carbs and end up ingesting a lot more calories overall.

    Before I had my experience with being vegan, I would have said meat is life, but after my experience, I realize how much meat is not necessary in our day to day nutrition and I honestly could go back to not eating meat at all, but its very expensive because you have to get the proper protein in your diet from other places to compensate and its usually costly.

    Until then I eat meat maybe once or twice a week. Most meats have become disgusting to eat for me and even harder to digest. I usually end up getting acid reflux if I consume even a little bit, so I try to eat it sparingly now.

    And I find its all about portion control and CICO. Whether you consume meat or not has nothing to do with how much weight you lose though I did lose a lot more weight when I went vegan but I think its because I wasn't eating processed anything when I was vegan, not because I wasn't eating meat.

    It's not better for you, just costs more. I mean the animal you are eating had hormones anyway.

    I LOVE meat. I hate having to limit myself to 4 oz... I could plow through 3 times that easily!
