Do yourself a favor, try an experiment, stop eating meat of any kind, including fish for 1 week. It's my 4th day and I have not felt better in a long time.

My metabolism is so much more "relaxed". Sleep better, over all feel in better health.

I doubt it's specifically because you're not eating meat that you feel better, Jeremy. Nutrition is more complicated than that!

It could be that you're not eating *fatty* meat, that you're eating less in general, that you're eating something else good/not eating something else bad...

I'm not a nutritionist, I don't know what your regular diet is, and for that matter I don't know whether you have some unique sensitivity to meat. But my nutritionist has nothing against lean meat in general, in fact she was almost annoyed that I only eat chicken (no skin) and fish.

My Nutritionist says "balance" to me all the time. She says we need all the parts in balance - We need the fats and the proteins. She also stresses to not eat as much at a meal and instead spread them out and eat 6 times a day. She stresses fresh fruit and veggies and really hits on not eating anything that has been processed at all. The fewer steps between the farmer and us the better.

If you can't tell what it is (or was originally) by looking at it, you might want to reconsider eating it.

"We need the fats and the proteins"

Absolutely, the good fats. That's why it's a good idea to eat lean meat rather than lots of animal fat, and why I don't eat the skin when I eat chicken (it's the fatty part).

For an example of good fat, I was assigned hard cheese from Switzerland, because the cows are fed grass there rather than corn. One of my eyebrows is raised about that, but I do follow it like a good boy anyway. \:\)

See... thats my problem.. Im not good at following. Im good while at home and in a controlled environment. But when I work else where I blow it. Especially in another studio. The Schedule is all over the place and the choices are few and when it comes to peer pressure.. Im not so good..

Meat a couple of times a week is OK. Current research absolutely links high meat consumption and colon cancer and other cancers. And sadly, grilled meat is the worst in that regard.

I think that's the burned part. But isn't it the fat in the meat that does the damage?
