I used to eat lot of meat when I was young and practically lived at gym. I don't like so called ideological dicotomy that tends to create atmosphere, or environment that feeds ignorance. This means that I myself can't live so that I neglect the idea that meat would not have its perks. There are Big difference in meats aswell. If you eat factory farmed meats, you get fat and sick, as you get too much estrogen, saturated fats etc. But if you eat lean meats, hunted game, it promotes wellbeing if done in modesty. Same with plant foods. This subject is actually something that I can talk propably for days, but the most important thing to understand here is, that if most of consumed Nutrition is plant based and you eat meat in modesty... You wont get so. Called bad bacteria, that creates TMAO effect in our gut from carnitine and choline. This TMAO is the contributer for biggest killer in our society: cardiovascular and heart disease. For myself I can tell you, that when I ate just meat, I didnt feel well, and I should of not done it, as I had heart disease when I was Child (four holes). I always suggest that people read books by Dr. Michael Greger, and check their channel: Nutritional facts, where they dive into current Nutritional science journals. For me plant based diet is great way to lose fat in a way that I dont ever feel hungry. Of course this is combined with hard work and training. I also am getting biologically younger and this I can tell quite easily by looking into mirror. AKG that is primarily found in whole plant foods does its trick. We tend to think food only as carbs and protein, because industry has gave us this way of thinking. Reality is, that tomato is much more, broccoli is much more, turmeric is much more... List continues on and on.
