Who Eats Processed And Still Gets Good Results

I eat Boar's Head meats almost every day, see nothing wrong with them and I've been maintaining if not progressing in my fitness level for 9+ years now.

I don't eat processed meats because of the chemicals. There are healthy versions of all meat out there--what is wrong with choosing healthy instead of unhealthy?? It is one of the reasons why you are here.

Exactly! Just because you can eat something processed and still lose weight / hit your macros, why do you actually want to when better alternatives exist? Fresh natural / organic meat tastes, looks, and smells so much better than any of that processed crap!

Because not everyone can afford the money or time in regards to constantly getting/cooking fresh produce and such. Also, some people can't handle raw veggies.

I don't see what is wrong with deli meats or buying frozen...especially if it is what fits in with your time and budget.

I didn't say you should never have processed meat (the vege thing was actually a joke, lol). Obviously we are limited by our budgets and schedules, so if you can't afford it or don't have the time, you eat what you can. I just said if given the choice, I'd rather have something natural.

You asked

why do you actually want to when better alternatives exist?

And I was just answering your question.

As for my last sentence, it was more said in general frustration by those that like to look down on said processed things (meat from the deli, frozen veggies, etc).

But to add on to that, what makes you think there are those that don't prefer the taste to frozen or processed over fresh? Some people actually do and my last sentence could also be attributed to a rebuttal to your statement:

Fresh natural / organic meat tastes, looks, and smells so much better than any of that processed crap!

Meat is best slow roasted or poached (cooked in liquid) instead of grilling. Grilled meat is carcinogenic.

I don't get it. How is grilling meat more carcinogenic than slow roasting it in a gas oven?

I believe because the charred bits are carcinogenic. It was the only true part of what she posted.

Yeah, but those charred bits can happen either in an oven or a grill.

No doubt. But it has less of a chance of burning when slow roasting or cooking in a liquid.

I am not agreeing with her, just saying that what she said is factually correct.

Slow roasting forms carcinogenic compounds too.

The safest cooking process is steaming, since your food cannot get above 212F, which drastically reduces the formation of carcinogens.

"Grilling" has been done/around longer than baking or steaming so I think it'll be just fine.

Yes. The risk from eating grilled food is vastly overstated. I'm just stating that the person who thinks that roasting meets their definition of "safe" needs to re-think her position.

Reaction from the drippings and flare ups according to Harvard Medical

http://www.health.harvard.edu/press_releases/cancer-risk-from-bbq-meat

JUNE 2007

Ruining a piece of meat isn’t the only thing you need to worry about if you’re cooking at high temperatures. High heat can also produce chemicals with cancer-causing properties, reports the June 2007 issue of the Harvard Health Letter.

When meat is cooked at high temperatures, amino acids react with creatine to form heterocyclic amines, which are thought to cause cancer. That’s why cooking meat by grilling, frying, or broiling is the problem. Grilling is double trouble because it also exposes meat to cancer-causing chemicals contained in the smoke that rises from burning coals and any drips of fat that cause flare-ups. How long the meat is cooked is also a factor in heterocyclic amine formation; longer cooking time means more heterocyclic amines. Depending on the temperature at which it’s cooked, meat roasted or baked in the oven may contain some heterocyclic amines, but it’s likely to be considerably less than in grilled, fried, or broiled meat.

Any people out there who still eat processed sandwich meat and yet STILL enjoy the benefits of lifting heavy and seeing amazing results? Just curious. Thanks

I tried eating unprocessed, but I lost too much weight trying to catch it and keep it between the slices of bread. When I can catch it seems like half the time unprocessed meat eats the bread before I can! Now I generally try to have the meat slaughtered and butchered before I try to make a sandwich with it.

BTW: Unprocessed grains are *way* easier to eat than unprocessed meat. Probably why the grain people can gain more weight, and do so well surviving the winters.

BarbaraCarr1981

Hmmmm, so i can lose weight eating whatever I want - knew that! Moderation and within calorie goal is the key. BUT shouldn't there be some restictions when trying to lose body fat % and increase LBM??? heavy lifting.....big heavy ol' weights....should be fueling with good wholesome foods right? Maybe no alcohol? Low on the sugar and this includes fruite especially one high on the glycemic index.

To maximize your LBM retention/gains, you should make sure that you are eating adequate proteins and fats. That is about it.
