what do you think about meat?

My vegan friend thinks it is easier to keep her weight down since she does not eat meat.

I think meat fills me up.

How about ya?

love me some meat, big steak and a baked potato that's all you need.

I'm a Paleo follower from NYC, and I found out recently that I am directly descended from the Cro-Magnon mammoth hunters of Western Europe (via 23andMe.com), so yeah, I'm a meat eater. But I no longer eat it indiscriminately; it needs to be GOOD meat, like grass-fed beef, free range hormone-free chicken; plus I have a butcher here who gets me wild boar, elk, deer, antelope, caribou, pheasant, wild goose and duck...all free-range preserve raised.

Take a look at my profile and my diaries; I've lost almost 20 lbs. in 4 months, and I'm never hungry.

And...60 is the new 40!

Hmmmmmmm meat. Better than donuts. Not as good as ice cream - but damn close.

If I could afford it, I'd certainly buy ethically raised cuts of meat.

My inability to do so will not hinder the pleasure it brings me.

I don't eat as much as I use to mostly because I have added more fish. I have also reduced my portions too but I still love it. I use to get the biggest steak on the menu but now the 6 Oz in fine.

I've spent almost all day cooking on the grill. Cooked 15 hamburgers, 6 kielbasa links, and while those were on the grill, I was smoking 6 lbs of country style pork ribs. Just HAD to sample some. The ribs should be ready in about an hour. Why so much? Getting ready to leave on a vacation trip & will take it with us to nibble on during the trip.
So, yeah, I like meat.

Same here.

Haven't eaten it (at least not intentionally) since 1974.

Got fat that way, stayed fat that way, lost weight that way.

I think eating meat (or not eating meat) is completely irrelevant to weight loss, and that everyone should eat anything legal that s/he finds tasty, nutritious, and satisfying.

I thought the title was "What do you think about men" but I saw it was "meat" and I was like

"Lol, still applies."

Vegans always have an ulterior motive for their choice. Humans are omnivores and designed to eat both plants and animals.

I happen to love the taste and texture of meat. I hang an ornament of Saint Anthony, the Patron Saint of Bacon, on my Christmas tree every year.

I fully agree with this I eat vegan because I love animals and I absolutely hate the taste/texture of animal products . Its none of my business what other people eat .

I'm a carnivore. Beef, pork, fish... I love it! And meat has never made me gain weight. As a matter of fact days I eat meat I end up with a lower calorie count. It's the processed foods and beer that got me.

AnvilHead · May 2016

I find meat very satiating/satisfying and I eat it (in one form or another) every day. Beef, pork, chicken, fish, shellfish, game meats...you name it, I love it.

Well said. I agree 100%.

Totally agree. Not a big fan of meat personally and very picky with meat dishes but have been eating more chicken lately to bump up my protein for fewer calories than vegetarian sources. Lost half my weight barely eating any meat and the other half with higher meat consumption. No difference.

bellabonbons · May 2016

I became a vegetarian 11 years ago with no regrets. My blood values are perfect and my protein is at a great level.

jenilla1 · May 2016

I could take it or leave it. I really wouldn't care if I never had beef or pork again. They're OK, but not that great. I don't need meat. I DO eat a lot of birds and some fish, but I could live as a vegetarian. I don't think I could be a vegan, though, because I LOVE cheese and eggs are a great protein source, but I could definitely survive in a post-apocalyptic setting without any number of things I take for granted now.

gradchica27 · May 2016

I've been vegetarian for about 15 years. I can't say it helps or hurts weight loss-- can still eat tons of bread, pasta , and desserts if I choose to.

Cutting out cheese and milk might make it harder to eat calorie dense foods, but I'm confident it could be done. Plus overeating anything (nuts, anyone?) will lead to weight gain.

I think meat is delicious and an easy way to provide certain nutrients.

I think eating in a way that suits your preferences, lifestyle, beliefs, also can help you manage your weight, because you will tend to want to stick to your diet.

I know weight management is all about calories in - calories out.

what do you think about meat?
