Question:

I’ve looked through the issue of Mind-your-Body you mentioned. There is one article that says red meat and dairy products contain a type of sugar that a paticular kind of diarrhea-causing bacterium likes to bind to. Is the article wrong about that?

Then there is another Mind-Your-Body article that extols the virtues of lean lamb meat (high protein, B vitamins, iron, zinc, low saturated fat and low cholesterol). Is there a health distinction between lean red meat and fatty red meat?

Can white meat do the same thing for digestion and hormones as red meat, while avoiding some of its pitfalls (e.g. cancer risk)?

Does it make a difference if the meat came from grass-fed animals rather than corn-fed?

Last but not least, how do you help your clients to fix their digestive systems?

Thanks!

Answer:

If you get diarrhea when you eat food, your digestive system needs to be improved. We are designed to be able to eat, digest, and ENJOY red meat:)

Yes lamb is fine. And it does have all those benfits. Saturated fat is fine so fatty red meat is fine. Thats what cavemen ate and they were healthy. But remember to balance out your fats with unsaturated fats and omega 3’s. Saturated fat is good but it is infalmatory so you need omega 3s to balance out because those are anti inflamatory.

White meat is fine! But it doesnt have the fat content of red meat. This is bad. Your body doesnt learn to become "fat adapted" if you don’t eat enough fat. I.E. You don’t learn to burn fat for energy so its harder to burn BODY fat!

Yes grass fed is better. And if you get meat from wholesalers, it is affordable.

Digestive system fixing is done through testing of zinc and stomach acid levels, then supplementation according to an individual’s needs.

Hope this helps!:)
