Diet: Living on beef and eggs

[steveinbsas]

Even if there is now a new chart from the NIH, it's doubtful that red mrat amd eggs are any higher on it today, and equally doubtful that tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of profesional nutritionists and diet consultants have significantly changed their beliefs or the advice they provide regarding the consumption of red meat and eggs (especially the yolks).

...as they convincingly tell their clients/patients that consuming "red meat can cause cancer" and "eating eggs can cause heart disease."

I had a heart attack last April. My cardiologist, while he doesn't recommend eating them exclusively, has told me red meat and eggs have very little effect on my cholesterol levels. As far as losing my excess pounds, he also stressed getting more physical exercise over changing my diet. I now walk every day, and it's working.
He's from Ghana and probably wasn't as thoroughly propagandized as doctors raised in the US/UK/Europe

I decided to give this thread a bump this morning as I made two significant changes to my "daily diet" during the past six months. I switched from eating roast beef to chicken (leg/thigh/wings only) and drinking two glasses of milk with two tablespoons of vinegar in each glass. I drink one glass of the milk with five extra large eggs (gently scrambled in beef tallow) for the first meal of the day. No more five hours later, I prepare either 7 or 8 chicken wings or two leg/thigh combinations in an air fryer. I do not drink milk with this meal. I drink the second glass of milk at least two hours later.

I go for at least one 50-60 minute "power walk" every day: always after breakfast and, whenever possible, aslo after the second meal of the day. The goal is always 10,000 steps per day. I am happy to have noticed a significant improvement in my post covid balance, though the initial motivation was to burn off any glucose spikes resulting from the meals. I focused on this aspect of the daily walks thanks to a YouTube short by The Glucose Goddess.

PS : I start each day with a glass of water with a tablespoon of white vinegar and then have instant coffee with butter (which I have resumed drinking on a daily basis after a 30 day break in March). The Glucose Goddess was also my source for the information about drinking water with a tablespoon of vinegar vinegar first thing in the morning.

The Glucose Godess posts regularly on IG, short snippets of information that are easy to apply. I try to start the day with a splash of cider vinegar in a glass of water.

If you want to monitor your glucose, get a continuous glucose monitor (CGM). They’re not cheap, about 90,000 Pesos for a sensor that will last 10 days of taken care of, and you can use an app on your mobile to take the readings and produce a nice report. It’s very useful to identify daily patterns and food that affects your glucose.

BTW, since seed oils were mentioned here at some point, I came across this a few weeks ago: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20250530-are-seed-oils-really-bad-for-you

May have been mentioned already but the YT channel Nutrition Made Simple has episodes that discuss results from published research on the impact of omega 6 ALA levels in the, which are mostly supplied by seed oils, and different health outcomes. All references are provided for your own evaluation with many papers open to the public.

I changed the way I prepare scrambled eggs after watching this video:

The flavor has improved significantly, and, if the information in the video is accurate, so has the nutritional value.

Interesting video. I have to wonder how many people could subsist on *quail eggs*. That would be a LOT of work. lol

Here is a video that provides a compelling reason to consume beef, even if was not from grass fed cattle, instead of poultry and pork from livestock which were raised on a diet of corn and soy:

 

[steveinbsas]

Even if I had no access to beef or lamb, or pasture raised chicken eggs, I would choose to eat soy and corn fed poultry and eggs over anything else (including ALL grains, seeds, legumes, fruits and vegetables), and I would only cook the eggs with beef tallow/lard and the poultry in an air fryer, never in seed, soy or corn (misleadingly marketed as "vegetable" oil)....and I would never eat chicken or eggs in a restaurant if any seed or vegetable oils are used to prepare them.

Here's a short video about the "most dangerous foods" most of us consume in mass quantities:

Here's a longer one (at least read the first few comments);

Hello Steve, your second video doesn't support your stance of avoiding seed oils like the plague.
