    @erickirb when you're in a caloric deficit you're cutting calories so what's the point in cutting whatever you're cutting?? Meat is just what I'm choosing to cut for health reasons. Eating more plants and veggies living organisms to fuel my body is just a strategy that I'm choosing

    And that is fine... as I mentioned, just make sure you still get enough protein. Not knocking what you are doing, just want to make sure you know to pay attention to protein intake.

    Freelee the banana freak is a gimmick, and if you're going to bring her in as an example your argument loses all credibility.

    That being said, there's nothing wrong with eating less meat as long as you make sure to eat lots of other foods high in protein.

    @HotKanye thank you for the positive feedback and I went to the gym this morning after my first day of eating meat and did 21 sets bench press heavy along with other heavy dumbbell lifts plus an hour of cardio.. On an empty stomach . I got this

    21 sets of heavy bench press? Rep range?

    21 sets of anything can't be considered heavy.

    This. But whatever, it doesn't seem like the OP is particularly receptive to discussion (this thread lost me at Banana Girl being considered a good example of proper nutrition).

    Because they are burning more than whatever 30 bananas a day equals calorie wise.

    Gimmick: In marketing language, a gimmick is a unique or quirky special feature that makes something "stand out" from its contemporaries. However, the special feature is typically thought to be of little relevance or use. Thus, a gimmick is a special feature for the sake of having a special feature.

    Please tell me how eating a crap-ton of bananas is anything other than a gimmick.

    I don't agree with eating a crap ton of bananas a day personally I would puke. I see the point you are making "the banana girl " eats a lot of bananas to sell shirts .. Got it .. Just making the point that carbs aren't evil neither is meat. I'm simply trying something new @bigblondewolf

    @Ryanstwin I never said meat or carbs were evil. Nor did I say it was a stupid idea to cut out meat. In fact, my exact words were "there's nothing wrong with eating less meat as long as you make sure to eat lots of other foods high in protein. "

    My beef (pardon the pun) was with you using Freelee as a positive role model.

    All those in a tizzy about the implication of meat and weight loss: calm down. Why should one consider reducing meat intake when trying to lose weight? Well, it *could* help someone who hasn't been adventurous in eating vegetables to try new things. And meals including more vegetables and other whole foods are great for weight loss. Yes, lean protein is good for humans. But someone who often would otherwise eat less-ideal meats like cold cuts, fried foods, fast food, cheese-covered food, etc. might feel more compelled to broaden horizons when making a purposeful, wide shift. It really can help to open our minds to different foods, eating patterns, and behaviors. That doesn't mean we all have to do it that way, but a semi-vegetarian plan can do wonders for some.

    I'm a vegetarian (again, calm down: I logged 85 grams of protein yesterday) and my fiancé is not. He eats meat at work and on weekends, but not at home during the week because those are the days I cook for us. He's not only not nutrient-deficient from this schedule, he's used this division as part of his own weight-loss plan, and has learned to like eggplant, asparagus, cabbage, squashes, and other foods he never would have otherwise indulged before. He was previously of the opinion that sweet potatoes were a Thanksgiving day-only food, that anything needing peeling was too much effort, and didn't know that greens other than spinach existed (and that he knew in the form of spinach dip). Talk about a journey: he purchased and cooked Brussels sprouts of his own volition last weekend.

    @Ryanstwin Maybe she's not the only one, but she's certainly the most popular example of such YouTubers. It was her everyone else thought of.

    I never disagreed with your point about cutting down on meat, but you're clearly looking to pick fights about other things as well by nitpicking on this aspect of the comments.
