Clary, when I was in Bristol for a month, we ate no red meat at all. I had to walk to town (from Clifton) every day and I lost 15 lbs in 1 month. When I got home, I craved red meat so I ate a steak. I was in agony for 3 days. Now I rarely eat red meat. I'm convinced it's not good for us.
I'm sure you're right, Mame. There's lots of research out there about it but old habits die hard.
I've somehow managed to lose all the weight I gained over my multiple trips and actually weigh less than when I started to be within a couple pounds of my goal. Very little red meat in my diet lately, no alcohol since returning from New Orleans (plenty enough there), and trying to get back into a regular exercise routine.
Interesting that, Mame. I felt a real need for red meat when pregnant, or growing, but now, not bothered if I don't have it.
JPB--
New habits are taking hold? Good. How far are you from your ultimate goal?
