Red meat for health 🥩⚕️🧅🌾

Zina Hermez

Did you know that eating meat promotes a healthy lifestyle? When you eat lots of protein, you’re able to burn off 20-25% of it, and you don’t even need to exercise! As a matter of fact, you can live a sedentary life and still lose weight as long as you eat right! Do not fear red meat. I tend to follow a paleo and Mediterranean-style diet. Think back to the caveman, obesity did not exist during their time. We didn’t have the faulty guidelines we go by now. Vegetable oil packaged foods are not good for you, six grains per day (as recommended on the USDA food pyramid is not good for you), and fruits are not healthy and okay in abundance because they grow on plants and trees. They contain a lot of sugar. Did you know that in NY City you cannot send your child to school with whole milk? Did you know that they’re given pizza and donuts, though? Saturated fat is not all bad and doesn’t cause heart disease. Therefore, red meat, even bacon, is OK. I have lost around thirty pounds since last year in November. When I first started I was on a strict diet—eating only 1,200-1,300 low calories per day. Now I’m eating up to 1,800-1,900 calories and still maintaining the same weight! And it is not because of more exercise! I make sure to get in meat at least one 4-6 ounces two times per day with a side of veggies. I have two eggs for breakfast every morning. I still get in some sugar and snack (within limits). Eating protein each day once to three times per day promotes health. The nutrients in red meat are vital for me. Iron, B1, B12, Vitamin D, and other nutrients are crucial. You can’t get them the same way anywhere else.🥩🥓🍗🍖

Through classes, webinars, and friendly emails, I've been encouraged to write. I started my blog to cope with my spinal injury in hopes of helping people.

  4. Wow, Zina, I agree with many of your choices, but red meat has been out of my diet for more than six months. No weight change, my fault. My cardiologist (you don’t want to hear this) has strongly advised me to avoid red meat and I am fine with that. So far, so good. Great blood pressure as long as I take the medications. Decent blood glucose levels with help from my medications. I encourage you to continue your diet, it looks so delicious! Be well. ☺️

    1. He recommends you don’t eat red meat because of USDA Guidelines, but men have always eaten meat since the beginning of time. There were no diabetes or obesity back then. Keep in mind we also live in a culture that steers us away from animal food and more towards sugar. It keeps us medicated to make up for the lack of proper foods.

      1. This makes sense. Sugar comes with so many things including those delicious french fries I love so much. As a type 2, I understand how potatoes turn into sugar in my system. Yet, red meat seems a dangerous deviation from muc leaner, fat-free or close to it, choices like turkey burgers!
