    Steak tastes good. Bacon tastes good. Pork chops taste good!

    I'll join you! I have been considering that myself for December. I'm looking at more fiber, less fat for high cholesterol. Let's do it:-)

    If you eat humanely raised beef that is grass-fed and organic it's already wayyyyyyyy less fat than factory farmed.

    Just eat the *right* kind of meat and your waistline will thank you.

    SlimGirl,

    This is an awesome idea! I have followed a Pescetarian (Vegetarian + Fish) diet since June. I have felt lighter, stronger and have had more effective work outs! I have done many other changes as well, so I cannot contribute my weight loss completely to diet. However, I have lost 20 pounds since April! (from 139 to 119). The last ten to get me to my goal of 109 is a STRUGGLE, as I've only been maintaining 119 for the last month. I'm not giving up despite the plateau! So you are on for the month of December with the exception of my Christmas Filet Mignon, which is a family tradition. Let me know if you want support or recipes! Spicy Black Bean Burgers have keeps my burger cravings away! So yummy & healthy!

    Everything in moderation is key. I will not give up red meat. I rarely eat it, but once in awhile my significant other grills the perfect Ribeye ever :) I don't eat pork much at all. Just doesnt taste as good as beef.
    Ref meat for me is a treat, a luxurious treat since my grocery budget doesn't allow me to buy much beef,
    However I do believe that too much red meat is not good for you. People who eat too much of animal based diet do have more health issues than those who don't.

    please explain about the health issues

    i think i'm on! but no land animals for the entire month of december.

    i was a vegetarian for years and for some reason stopped (i was healthier and slimmer too). i need to go back to "cleaner" eating.

    I'll skip this one. I need good fatty meats like pork and beef to stay healthy.
    Lean meat requires I make up the fat somewhere else.
    Nuts get boring. And animal fat is better for reducing cholesterol and triglycerides anyway.

    And, depending on the senstivity of your stomach:

    "...Then, I’ll add this firsthand experience from an intestinal transplant survivor who spent months with a jejunostomy, watching the contents of his stomach drain directly into a bag..." - he lost his intestines thanks to a routine colonoscopy. (don't ever get one of these. Why anyone would want someone creating a wound in the dirtiest part of the body is beyond me.)

    364 days of the year I usually don't consume any red meat at all (sensitive stomach/digestive issues)...

    But Christmas time with a Russian/German family means I will be shunned if I don't eat my rouladin.

    If you eat humanely raised beef that is grass-fed and organic it's already wayyyyyyyy less fat than factory farmed.

    Just eat the *right* kind of meat and your waistline will thank you.

    I agree, but unfortunately my wallet does not thank me. Grass fed beef is currently too expensive to make it a worth it for me.

    It's over $7.00 a pound where I live (Western New York). That's just insane
