I'm a young man in decent shape, not 7% bodyfat, but then again I do not aspire to be that thin. I eat basically what I want, just in smaller amounts than what I used to. This includes meat. sometimes theres nothing better than a good marbled steak or a big juicy hamburger. I have gone more than two weeks without steak and as suggested earlier. When when I fianlly got a steak it was the best damn tasting thing I had had in a long time. Even better it was nice and rare so it was good and bloody and just barely warm in the middle. That's eating good. Top on the baked potato with all the fixins and extra butter and sour cream. Then you're in heaven.
By the way I have no health problems, am not obese, and keep in better shape than most people.
I had a football coach that had a great saying on his desk:
I'd rather live 50 years like a tiger that 100 years like a chicken!
