I don't eat red meat ...so I really don't know about herds and all that
I only consume chicken and fish and seafood
I've been on a diet and have only been eating chicken, so far I've lost 30 pounds since January, I just hope I don't find the weight I've lost, my goal is 20-30 more poundage...After my surgery I gained weight from not working.....I will admit i get a 10 pound box of bacon each month..
I've gone from 199 lbs - my heaviest ever - at New Year's, to 166 - my college weight - today.
I've done this by cutting out most the bad carbs, stopping snacking on junk food, reducing portions a bit, and
increasing my fat intake. I've also doubled my exercise.
