No Red Meat or Fried Food

So from both responses to why buffalo meat is "way healthier" I've gathered that you equate lower in fat content to being healthier?

Did your doctor tell you WHY no red meat and no fried foods, or did he just do what all doctors do and jump on the no red meat, no fried foods bandwagon when they don't really know anything about nutrition and you're complaining of stomach pains or have high cholesterol.

Most doctors don't know a thing about nutrition, which is kind of ironic.

Are you allergic to either? Do you have a problem with your bowel lining that precludes you from digesting them? Why the avoidance? Is it for general health and wellness? If so, then the doctor's information is probably archaic.

You should ask why. If it is just because he wants you to "try that" then your doctor really doesn't have a clue, and you should consider going to a gastrointerologist and maybe a nutritionist. Find out why a doctor is asking you to avoid food groups.

Honestly, I'm having trouble seeing the justification for giving up red meat when recent studies seem to moving against the old "wisdom" that said it was bad for us.

It definitely effects me, but I don't know why. He never said why. All I know is that as soon as I start eating it again (I started eating steak again first, before I started eating fried food again), my breath was terrible and I started going diarrhea constantly. I do need to ask why, though. I'm probably going to see a nutritionist soon, as well.

I'm not a dietician but I'm going to go out on a limb based on 2 clues......bad breath / bad taste in mouth and the fact you don't like too many fruits & vegetables.


Google ketosis and talk to a registered dietician. Your problem may not be red meat or fried foods it may be lack of carbs.....

I just now saw this post. I'll definitely check that out.

Edit: Ah, ketones. Yea, I was tested for that and it came out negative.

Never once said that fat makes you fat. In fact, this conversation has nothing to do with being fat.

You seem to be gunning for a fight.

So, Ill come right out of the gate and say you're right. Buffalo meat is red meat. I was taking liberties and assuming that by red meat the OP meant beef. Considering his current diet, I didn't think he was wading much into the game pool. You got me.

Buffalo meat is lower in saturated fat content that beef and some other meats. It's also a great source of nutrients like B6 and Iron and is an excellent source of protein.

Now, you're going to jump in and say beef is fine in moderation. I agree. I eat beef all the time. BUT, the OP has implied that he is eating red meat (beef I assume) daily, which is not in moderation. He has also said that his doctor told him he should not be eating red meat (again, assuming beef).

He asked for alternatives and I gave him a good one. Buffalo meat tastes like steak. It shouldn't be a hard transition for him.

I don't really think it matters what kind of red meat it is, but I could be wrong. As I said to someone else, all I know is that as soon as I ate steak again, my breath was terrible and I started going diarrhea constantly (for the night/next day). That was just from one meal, too.

(Also, I'm a woman, not that it really matters. lol)

Have you been tested for ulcerative colitis or Crohn's? Chron's I'm guessing yes. But colitis probably requires endoscopy.

I'm not the poster who claimed it was healthier, I was just posting the reasons that people believe it is healthier. And for people who need to avoid saturated fats for health reasons, it is healthier.

Thank you. That was all I was trying to say. People take things so literally on these boards.

All valid points. I also conceed that your assumptions are, more than likely, correct. I just like to seek clarification, mostly for the lurkers, when broad claims of something being "way healthier" are made. Also, all things being equal, that lower fat content doesn't equate to being "healthier".
