Red meat

Powermaster · Mar 20, 2012

I love red meat. I don't eat it everyday but when I do I've noticed I do feel stronger in the gym the next day. Lot's of powerlifters eat red meat exclusively before a competition to nail max lifts.

I eat red meat EVERY SINGLE DAY. And no, it's not by choice....I have allergies to most fruits and vegetables. My primary diet consists of red meat, chicken, and tuna. I can eat SOME veggies like corn and cucumber. I take lots of sups because of my condition. I go to the doc for blood work religiously, and he is aware of my diet, and I ALWAYS get a clean bill of health. I'm a "meat and potatoes" kind of guy! Not by choice....ugh, what I would give to take a bite out of a nice big red apple!

Yeah...but I really do love fruit. Sometimes my body is telling me to go eat some fruit....and I know I shouldn't. But, sometimes what I will do is pop a few caps of Benadryl and eat an entire basket full of fruit. The Benadryl helps keep the allergic reaction down, but then I sleep for a good 12 hrs. So, I do it maybe once a month or so. I can eat fruit that has been cooked though, just nothing fresh. Even the organic shit bothers me, not as bad...but it gets to me. And IMHO, that organic stuff is crap as it all tastes like water....no flavor. Strawberries for example, I get the organic ones...but can't taste them at all. So, I put them in a bowl and sprinkle a little sugar on them.

I eat red meat almost everyday. I buy organic, grass fed beef and have never had any health issues. When heavy bulking, I will at times eat beef 3-4 times a day, but also eat a lot of organic chicken as well.

Avoid meat the best you can.
thats my 0.2

You Hippy! Jk, I try to eat mostly organic as well. Lots of interesting research coming out about nitrates and nitrites in processed meats.

Haha, hippy!! I like it!!

I really started with the organic meats after having some at my in-laws. I noticed that the beef tasted so much better and I didn't get any bloat from it like I did on occasion with store bought meats. I also had no constipation issues even when eating 2-2.5 pounds of red meat a day, which many experience.

It's really not that expensive if you can find a good store like Whole Foods and get them to sell to you in bulk (the manager at our store is married to a co-worker of my wife, hooks us up)

We don't have a whole foods near me, but Trader Joes has pretty good prices.

We shop there too, I like it but not as well as Whole Foods. But you have to go with what you have.

Have you tried the Trader Joe's ground buffalo? They are pre-made patties in the freezer section, out of this world grilled and very lean.

yes I have! I'll take a good burger over a steak any day. I know, I'm crazy.

Me too, most days at least. There is a burger place near us, they are actually a meat packing company. I get a 3/4 pound burger made from ground rib eye, they grill it to PERFECTION and have fresh baked buns and fresh toppings. Plus they have sweet potato fries, that is an every week cheat meal, even my wife loves them.

Damn, now I want it to be Friday!

hoyle21 · Mar 20, 2012

If you search, I'm sure you could find a small local farmer who will sell you half a cow. He'll probably butcher it and wrap it for cheaper than you can buy it in a store.

Spend $250 on a chest freezer. It's worth it.

I did that for a bit, great way to save money and get quality meats. I pay 3% over cost at Whole Foods and don't have to buy as much, but if I couldn't get that deal I'd go back to buying sides of beef.

The butchers at Whole Foods and Fairway are top notch....they even carry aged beef aside from the organic stuff. Shit is expensive, but hey....it's all I really eat so I don't mind paying for it. IMHO.

I got a freezer chest big enough to stuff 3 whole pigs in there! Comes in handy for us Greeks come Easter time when I pick up whole lambs and pigs to put on the spit.

I'm making 3 whole lambs this year for my fam and friends, 60lbs. each! April 15th, can't wait!!!!

I have a 12 cubic foot chest freezer myself. Usually full of venison, perch, walleye, and trout.

BFHammer · Mar 21, 2012

I guarantee my grass fed beef is 10x healthier than store bought chicken or any other commercial meat. One chest freezer will hold 3/4 of a cow at 4/lb for everything. Organic whole chickens generally run 2.50/lb from the farm buying 12 at a time vs 7/lb from the store. Eat up!

I couldnt agree with you more Brother. And you know as well as I do what causes these issues with American diet. Trans, hydros, fast food, simple hi glycemic carb snacks, etc, etc. One word, processed.

not to mention, sedentary lifestyle.
