Usually, when people decide to lose weight, they automatically think that the meatless diet is the best solution. They replace this hard-to-digest food with more digestible vegetables or juices. While an unsupervised juicing diet should not exceed one week, many of us can safely eliminate meat from the diet for an extended period without negative effects on the body. However, there are people who have followed strict vegetarian diets and found that after a while their health declined and did not improve until meat was introduced into their diets.

There was Dr. Price, who examined the dental health and eating habits of indigenous tribes and found that the healthiest were those who ate meat. Those who ate grains and vegetables had a massive tooth decay problem.

It seems that in the short term, we can thrive on a vegetarian diet, but in the long run, we need some animal protein. How long can we thrive on a meatless diet before our health declines? Well, no one knows for sure, but it definitely differs from person to person.

One of the factors that can determine whether or not you tolerate a meat-free diet may be your blood type. The medical literature often notes that people with type A blood do well on a vegetarian diet. Indeed, the most accurate message is that people with type A blood need fewer animal products less frequently than other blood types. Therefore, if you want to lose weight successfully, do not become completely vegetarian, especially if you like to eat meat every day.

It is well known that animal products are the only source of complete protein. This means that they contain all the essential amino acids, those that are not manufactured in the body and must be provided through food. All plant foods are low in these amino acids. Legumes and whole grains, on the other hand, are the main sources of non-animal protein and, when eaten together, provide a nearly complete protein profile.

While red meat requires a lot of energy to digest and should therefore be eaten in moderation, it does contain zinc and iron. Poultry and fish are always a good choice, especially if animal products appeal little to you, because we don’t seem to need much meat in our daily diet to maintain health. To lose weight it is better to include some meat and vegetables in your weight loss diet plan and eliminate as many carbohydrates as possible.
