how does meat and healthy meat stuff even work?
>meat is le bad because of saturated fat and salt (lol)
>but actually the saturated fat doesn't do anything
>but unsaturated fat is good for you and not eating it is bad in comparison
>actually meat just causes cancer
>no you should eat it raw and only use beef tallow for cooking
>no one talks about fish
can someone please explain to me without any buzzwords what kind of meat is the best to eat, im not picky or anything i like all of it
>>
>>21692192
Low mercury fish is usually considered the best meat.

Just eat what you want in any case (as long as you don't overeat and get fat). It doesn't make a difference in the end.

Though they manage to avoid the same spotlight as banking, media and technology; food cartels are one of the main rulers dictating to us. Do not take things you are told over your own direct experience.
Immediate personal enjoyment is healthier than suffering as long as possible. A healthy body naturally craves what it needs. When you start denying it and giving it inadequate substitutes it will only learn to crave more.

Just eat whatever. The simple rule of; the more machines it has gone through to get to your mouth, the more the machines processed out of it.

>>21692202
you're probably right, i heard fish is important to eat regularly because it has a special fish exclusive nutrient or something too, but thats okay because i like fish, i like salmon and its pretty low in mercury
>>21692207
yah i hate food industry lobbyists too, they're really bad in muttmerica
>>21692211
but speakin of that, things like bacon ive heard really mixed things on, some people say its really bad for you, but also the people who like saturated fat say "eat as much bacon as you want" but then how come americans eat a ton and are really unhealthy?

no-one eats meat at the point where it is the determining factor in their subsequent obesity

not simping for those liverking-type idiots but its true. we're omnivores and eat all sorts of shit we shouldn't be without factoring in the affects cause we immediately just jump to the obvious culprits we can identify

There's conflicting data on some things and /ck/ is one of the worst places to go for info because people meme or have schizo worldviews, sakuraposter. Meat is like other things where generally processed bottom-tier garbage is worse for you, so limit your consumption of cheap deli slices and cheap sausage.
Bigger fish eat smaller fish to live and mercury stays in fish and gets passed on, so the bigger predator fish have eaten a lot of smaller fish and all that mercury parks itself in there. So smaller fish are better for you, and also cheaper.

saturated fat increases cholesterol production in your body which literally clogs your arteries Not My Problem style. the cancer thing is mostly a nothingburger since the amount is very small on a 1 person basis and only matters on a societal level

so i should eat fish like this that are small?
i just wanna know why the processed stuff is so bad for you if the fat and other things are not
>>21692313
but what about eggs they dont do that

>>21692313
>saturated fat increases cholesterol production in your body which literally clogs your arteries
It's not that simple. It's more a risk of obesity than just saturated fat consumption. Just like most healthy adults can eat carbs including sugar without dangerous blood sugar spikes.

You know even at one point they said people with diverticulitis should limit fiber and stuff like that too? Bigger risk factor for diverticulitis is obesity. Official advice about that changed later but all the advice put together is basically saying "everything is bad in some way for obese people".

Why people are overeating in the first place to the point of sickness is a bit more complicated but blaming natural things that have been part of the human diet since before recorded history isn't addressing the root of the issue, it's just managing symptoms.

fish smells too much
and eating it from a can makes me feel like a heroin addict or something

Cheap processed meat contains additives that make cheap meat taste palatable at the expense of being less healthy for you. They grind up things that people wouldn't normally buy and eat and sell it in a way that makes it less obvious they're eating something they wouldn't normally. If you've ever seen those nasty meat cysts or weird bloody clots that are in improperly cut meat, you'd never eat that shit normally but if it gets ground up with pig asshole then you'd never know. Treat meat like other foods, as in try to eat whole cuts or work with whole cuts when cooking so you know what's going in your body. That means more than anything else when it comes to preserving health just because you auto-dodge bullshit.
Sardines are a good example of smaller fish that are very healthy for you and will not put you at risk of mercury bio-accumulation. Fisherman's eggs is one of the best breakfasts an anime watcher can have and will give you the nutrients and energy you need for whatever your day throws at you. You can dress it with herbs you enjoy if you need to acclimate to the taste and smell of sardines.

Living a low stress life with group of good friends, afternoon naps, sunlight, enough free time every day with light exercise is infinitely more positive for your health than avoiding any particular kind of food.

eggs do increase blood cholesterol. they don't increase it as much as we used to think but they do increase it by quite a bit and it's still bad for you. there's even YouTube videos where people eat only eggs for a month and check their blood cholesterol and it's catastrophically high
>>
>>21692375
>there's even YouTube videos where people eat only eggs for a month and check their blood cholesterol and it's catastrophically high
that is not indicative of anything. i don't even like eggs but for instance low vitamin c can raise cholesterol. i kind of doubt one month is enough to go from perfectly healthy to "catastrophically high" cholesterol anyway.

>A Harvard medical student recently completed an "egg-citing" experiment.

>Nick Norwitz, 25, decided to eat 720 eggs in one month to see what the effect would be on his cholesterol.

>At the end of the month, the Boston man found that his cholesterol levels had dipped by 20%.

>fisherman eggs
those do sound pretty good.. but i read online and it says not to eat sardines every day or youll get mercury poisoning, i thought they were the lowest mercury fish??
i do try and eat whole meat cuts
>>21692375
isn't only eating eggs for a onth and nothing else a bit retarded.. that's like 10 eggs per day
also i looked up your thing and all of the videos are like "eggs are good actually" and there was a 'jak type guy who actually ate a billion eggs in a month and his cholesterol didnt even go up so whats the deal with it
>>
>>21692384
some people's bodies respond to the cholesterol differently. some people might be perfectly healthy eating only eggs but many people would die early deaths as a direct result of doing so. that's why giving blanket statements that wouldn't harm most people but woild definitely harm some people is irresponsible.

They are about as low as you get in mercury content, you might have read something with general fish advice that included sardines because they didn't know what they were talking about, or mayhaps an AI summary that got it wrong. You could eat sardines 3 meals a day every day and mercury would not be an issue. Tuna has like 50x the amount of mercury per pound and you can eat that multiple times a week and be fine.
There might be some other normally helpful vitamins that could reach high levels if you eat your weight in the fish every day, but eating it once daily would not be bad for you in any way. You would probably be much better off than the vast majority of people in terms of the good things that the humble fish offers. They're supposed to be very heart healthy.

>>21692397
>some people's bodies respond to the cholesterol differently.
yeah, but i think a lot of those people are prone to high cholesterol anyway and some of them end up needing medication even on a "perfect" diet with little to no cholesterol intake

>some people might be perfectly healthy eating only eggs but many people would die early deaths as a direct result of doing so.
nobody would be healthy long-term eating only eggs because you'd develop multiple deficiencies, but saying someone's cholesterol became catastrophically high within a month seems like fearmongering

>that's why giving blanket statements that wouldn't harm most people but woild definitely harm some people is irresponsible.
giving blanket statements like "eggs increase cholesterol quite a bit" and talking about how it became dangerous in a month is irresponsible when there's evidence saying that's not quite true and they can be part of a healthy diet

Would be a good idea to do the boneless fillets initially and take some time to get a taste for them. The ones with the skeleton inside have a texture that some find gritty. You can eat the skeleton just fine and it's very good for you but it may be unpleasant and hard to adjust to when you're first getting used to them. Place a paper towel under the can as well because you're likely to spill a bit when you open them and the smell of the fishy oil can linger. If you're making fisherman's eggs, you can use that oil they're packed in to cook the fish in for more flavor.
I don't eat them every day, but they are very convenient because you can keep them in your pantry in the can for literal years so they are good for a healthy, inexpensive, and readily available meal.
Have a nice day, anon.

1 egg a day maximum is part of a healthy diet. That is to say that eggs are basically not part of a healthy diet.
>>
>>21692192
Meat is healthy ignore any concerns about animal fats if you need the calories eat more fatty meat if you need to cut down eat more lean meat.

Cancer, the reward outshines the risk 100 times. Avoid overly processed meat.

Fish is good.

Since anons talking about eggs, eggs is literally the number 1 healthiest thing you could eat.
>>
>>21692442
>That is to say that eggs are basically not part of a healthy diet.
Not him but no, that is to say that eating multiple eggs a day is not part of a healthy diet. Tuna can be part of a healthy diet too but you shouldn't be eating it multiple times a day either. Key word: Part. There are plenty of good things that eggs and tuna do for you, but they are easier to overdo than other foods. You can overdo water too to the point of giving yourself hyponatremia, but it's a rather large part of a healthy diet as well.

Dietary cholesterol has no effect on levels of bodily cholesterol. Absolutely zero.
Anyone who tells you otherwise is either pig ignorant or living in the 1980’s.

If you have diabetes, eating a mostly meat and veg diet is great. Ultimately there are two things to keep in mind- don't mix carbs and fats, and up your veggie content. What proteins work for you is entirely a matter of your tastes and budget. This keeps you from ice cream, Twinkies, and fried foods like french fries. That goes a LONG way towards cleaning up your diet. Also meat has a high satiety index, so you're going to struggle to reach your daily calories this way and won't overeat as much. You don't have to be perfect, but this will point you down the right path.
