    Dr. Oz, please. You should read something like Culture of Fear by Barry Glassner.
    This is silly. Steak is good.

    I eat red meat at least 4X a week...some weeks more. I love a nice bloody ribeye.

    It's considered bad because contains a more saturated fats and cholesterol than white meat or fish, and saturated fat and cholesterol have been the big bad boogeymen of the health industry for the past few decades.

    BUT, it isn't processed or refined, it's mostly protein, and there are no carbs and sugar (which are becoming the new big bad boogeymen of the health industry) so I think most people here would agree that in moderation, a good old piece of steak isn't a bad thing.

    I agree completely. Everything is about moderation! :)

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

    I like thin-cut, carne asada style, with some fresh corn tortillas.

    Thats what I want, oh yeah. Drooling right now.

    Flank steak is one of the leanest cuts and it's pretty yummy! I grill it and slice it real thin and put in a healthy type of role like a wheat baguette with grilled veggies or I put on a salad! Try it :)

    People have been brainwashed to believe steak (meat)is bad, but you can't blame them, that's all they've heard all their lives.

    This. If you can get grass fed it's even better for you!

    And the whole saturated fat and cholesterol issue is crap (saturated fat is only dangerous in the presence of carbohydrates). Both are critical to cell and brain function. In fact the cells are capable of making cholesterol and the brain makes its own cholesterol (glial cells) because LDL and HDL (which are actually lipoproteins that carry cholesterol) can't break the blood-brain barrier. enjoy your steak!!! I enjoy it almost every day (in fact, most of my calories come from fats like Kerrygold butter, coconut oil, and bacon fat (from uncured bacon). I also enjoy olive, avocado, and macadamia oil occasionally. And make sure I get plenty of fatty fish.

    My average size steak at dinner is around 8oz and I eat every bite of it!!!

    Steak is fabulous tasting, but let's be honest.
    It's just not 100% healthy.
    So, what to do?
    My choice is to have the steak one time weekly.

    I need those foods or else it's just not worth the effort.

    man you are so right .. everything you say is true :)

    Moderation is key .. no matter what your goal!

    Steak is 100% healthy. Maybe not the crap that comes from the CAFO's. But a good high-quality grass-fed/finished meat is 100% healthy for you. And if you can't afford grass-fed/finished then buy the leanest cuts and add butter or coconut oil to it.

    The moderation thing also applies to exercise. Too much is detrimental. Google Chronic Cardio. Yet I see people running themselves into the ground here.
    I eat lots of fat and meat and eggs. In fact, I have to eat tons of protein and fat just to maintain my weight (and not keep losing) in the absence of a high-carb diet.
