Steak....bad?

Go grass fed if you can. Grassfed beef is lower in saturated fat and higher in omega-3s.

We've moved away from fat-bad, low-fat-good diet recommendations but saturated fat is still widely considered to be bad for your heart and red meat has a lot of saturated fat. It also has a lot of good stuff too though so I find it hard to consider it something you should never eat. Who knows...it's hard to keep up with the recommendations.

Saturated fat is only bad for you in the presence of carbohydrates (This makes ice cream one of the worst treats out there). Most of the fat on our body is stored as saturated. Saturated fat is in breast milk. The saturated fats in coconut oil and grass-fed/finished butter are more likely to be used as energy and less likely to be stored as fat (MCTs).

I use this analogy. Think about and egg. That embryo will become a baby chicken and that baby doesn't have mama's nutrition to help it become a baby chicken. And what are the main components in an egg? Protein, cholesterol, and saturated fat. The three most important building blocks for life. No wonder the egg is the perfect health food.
Nature is not stupid.
Vitamins A, E, D & K are all fat-soluble vitamins. You must have fat for your body to absorb them.
I eat red meat almost every day. I do eat meat and/or fish/shellfish every day. I eat eggs almost every morning.

Do you guys like thick steak, or thin-cut steak?

I like my steak thick...

Thick, medium rare but with a slight char

And really, quoting Dr. Oz doesn't mean a lot. To me Dr. Oz is a doctor kind of like Dr. Seuss or Dr. J are doctors....

we have steak every 3 to 6 months and only reason why isbecause it takes for ever to digest and it rots in your insides before it does!!!! how gross is that

You're getting steak and gum mixed up and if you break a mirror you have seven years bad luck unless you throw a salt shaker at somebody

LMAO! I love red meat... If it stayed in me for that long I would never be hungry again (id be full of ....)

Or like how Captain Kangaroo probably never actually drove a ship.

I HIGHLY suggest that all my fellow steak lovers try a Chimichurri Sauce with your steak (or carne asada or flank, etc)....

1/4 cup fresh chopped cilantro
1/4 cup fresh copped parsley
1tbl fresh chopped oregano OR 1/2 tsp dried
1/2 jalapeno (the more seeds, the hotter the flavor) OR 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1tbl olive oil
2tbl apple cider vinegar
1/2 garlic clove
salt to taste

blend in magic bullet or food processor!

YUM!!!!

I think Seuss was better at doctoring. His quotes are certainly more entertaining and believable anyway: "“Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.”

If you like steak, eat it.

What?! That's blasphemy. Next you're going to tell me that the trolley that went through Mister Rogers living room didn't really go to the Land of Make-Believe. I won't hear of it!

I bet I would lose more weight if I ate my meals in a box with a fox... than following Dr. Oz...

Is it strange that I don't like steak?

VoodooLuLu

No, I don't either. Have you tried Bison? Tastes better than steak, more protein, and less fat and calories. But unfortunately, hard to find, and very pricey.

There are support groups for that sort of thing. I implore you to seek help soon.

That depends. How do you feel about bacon?

Oh yeah! I am a chimichurri addict. Great on chicken, fish and shrimp too.

You can definitely change up the recipe: use all parsley. Sub lemon juice for the vinegar. Use crushed red peppers instead of fresh ones. Add capers instead of salt. I make it whenever i have extra herbs.

I eat steak, I love it! Have it with mushrooms, grilled onions & garlic. Healthy, probably not but I adjust my meals to make sure I'm within my calorie allowance.

Everything is bad if you have too much of it. Stick to the proper portion and don't have it too often, you'll be fine.
