> How often do you eat meat?
I've been using protein to satiate my appetite and eat less so I've been eating a lot of meat, mostly turkey. I eat red meat maybe once a week.
> Why?
I like the taste of meat and it keeps me full. I've been trying to eat fewer calories.
> Do you wish you could eat it more often or would eat it less often?
After reading more about calorie restriction for life extension, I've discovered that eating moderate protein is the way to go. My goal is to eat less meat.
> Why?
High levels of IGF-I is bad, excess protein increases IGF-I independent of calories and deactivates SIRT1, a gene involved in longevity.
