afaict it's not even a low-carb diet (fruit, pastry), it's a regular diet + nightly steaks. Which tbf sounds very enjoyable, just likely to require vein drano

kaworu posted:Sorry, didn’t mean to indicate that I’m eating an “ALL-BEEF” diet. I cook a steak and split it with my roommate like 5 nights a week, which seems to be healthy for us and isn’t even close to some extreme or unhealthy diet. I still eat fruit and berries and veggies and eggs and occasionally fish. But most days my major protein fix comes from eating about a 6-8 ounce serving of ribeye, which is actually the most nutrient-dense cut of steak, and full of really good stuff. It may well be that your new diet has some health benefits that you are seeing. But there are also likely drawbacks to that much red meat, some of which will only show up in a blood panel. Yearly physicals are a good idea, and if you're making health changes, now is a good time to start if you don't already. You could driving your cholesterol up, and may not realize it until it's too late.

Beef is very bad for the planet OP, please eat less. Even switching 3 of your dinners to other animal steaks / chops would make a big difference, and you may find something you like better.

After I learned how to make a really great pork chop, I didn’t miss steak at all any more. I do steak like once per year now. It doesn’t hurt that even the fancy top of the line pork is like half the price of mid grade steaks.

Heck, a bonus for pork IMO is its flexibility for seasoning profiles. With a beef steak, I don’t actually want anything other than salt and pepper (maybe a mushroom salt for finishing). With pork, salt and pepper only is great, but some Aleppo + Szechuan pepper powder completely changes it in a great way. Or lime and chipotle, or garlic and smoked paprika, or a thousand other combos.

These days I only do a standard meat and three type thing with a slab of protein like maybe a couple times a month. Also, yeah pork is great if you eat pork, although I think the pork I've been using the most lately is ground pork, which is more or less a meat seasoning in a lot of mostly-veg dishes. I think my all-around favourite source of animal protein is duck: use the breast meat either as main by itself (s-v, seared & sauced or w/e) or something else (what I've done the most lately, sliced thin and served in duck ramen—duck and dashi stock, blanched bok choy, egg, onion greens/scapes, sautéd shiitakes, handmade noodles); dark meat goes in cassoulet (best in the cold months) or stir fry or whatever; bits and bobs can be used for something fancy like forcemeats or just going into making a exceedingly rich stock.

The steak every night diet sounds completely bananas to me and I’m glad this time around it’s being mentioned by other posters. Stay safe, steak goon. It’s good that you’re cooking for yourself and enjoying your food, but red meat is for most people better suited as a sometimes food. It also has an insane cost to the environment even if the price you’re paying at checkout is affordable to you.

SubG posted:Yeah, although you don't strictly speaking have to serve steaks as steaks. During the early/middle pandemic I started getting bulk meat from a meat CSA and ended up doing poo poo like making upscale cheesesteak or using steak in stir fry (a steak done s-v, sliced, and then finished with something like passing through/走油, wildly nontraditional but comes out well). We’ve switched to buying half/whole animals from a few ranchers we personally know around us, and this is basically what 99% of our beef steak cuts turn into now. And wildly non traditional but delicious has slowly taken up 80% of all our cooking excepting basics like “oatmeal” or “pot of beans”.

It's insane to me that in just a few short years we've gone from "if you don't eat steak all day you're gay" to 90% of the thread dogpiling on someone for scarfing beef. I'm glad for the progress though! If anyone wants an easy source for a ton of beef-free recipes, both the vegan thread and the Indian thread are great resources.

There are totally different posters responding in different threads and forums so yeah. YLLS still has a low-carb thread that will be happy to talk about their shiny coats and strong teeth. I would quote but it's probably not fair to drag people in here just for snorting dehydrated broth or whatever they're doing now.

I've successfully stopped eating beef but I have really struggled to excise pork from my diet. Lots of great dim sum/Chinese places around, that's where it's hardest for me. edit: I'm fully pescatarian at home nowadays though that doesn't mean much when I'm working so much I'm constantly eating out :/

So I think I figured out a weird trick for roasting wetter veg. I was roasting some zucchini slices tonight, and somehow forgot to toss them in any kind of fat before chucking them in the oven. They were in about 10-15 min before I'd noticed and realized they weren't coming along as hoped, so I popped them out, gave them a quick toss in olive oil, and threw them back in, and goddamn if those weren't the best zucchinis I've ever had in my life. I'm wondering if the prefat roast allowed more water to evaporate before the browning kicked in after the oil toss? More testing is clearly necessary. I still have one in the fridge, so maybe a control/test batch again tomorrow.

I think you might also get a little dry skin, sort of like a pellicle, with more surface area that the oil just clings to really well. Potatoes get really nice when you par cook them, toss them in oil and the cut surfaces get all craggly and rough

Most of my friends are vegetarian, and a longtime roommate doesn’t eat red meat, which has cut a huge amount of meat from my life. Helped me break the rural “always have to have a meat” mentality. Cooking with them opened up a ton of new flavors and foods I thought were too challenging or something. When its just me and my wife, we still eat a lot of poultry, then pork because it’s hard to pass up $.99/lb when it shows ip at Costco.

Scientastic posted:I don’t think this is limited to rural locations/people? Of course not exclusively. I grew up rural and experience far more shock/awe to meatless meals among my rural compatriots. Difficult to imagine giving up beef when you personally raise and slaughter show cows, or are on a 6th generation ranch.

I'll admit that I probably have meat (or eggs) in 70% of my meals. I was raised in a suburb and live in a different one now. Never been really inner city and never been even close to rural. I'd like to get away from eating this much meat but also I'm not having any kids so I've done my part around climate destruction!

I'm not completely meatless. Never wanted to be really. I just woke up one day and most meat tasted like crap. I never liked pork and I've been tired of chicken all my life, but now I don't even like sausages or seafood anymore. I can still eat the occasional burger or taco if I'm really in the mood, and I can eat chicken I just find it boring. I mostly eat black beans or chickpeas with rice and have an egg or two every day. Food tastes good and that's all that matters.

White generics were a trademark of Ralphs, a grocery in California which got bought by Kroger in 1998 They phased out the white generics before that because they were mocked for being so bland looking I can't find photo evidence of it now but I remember when they sold a hat that said hat and a shirt that said shirt It would be pretty hilarious to own now

I vaguely remember seeing white generics, or something very close to it when I was a kid a lot but not really in my adult life. I have no evidence to back this up but my guess is that it was originally done as an easy way to spot the cheapest thing and probably to save money on print for the package, and then was eventually walked back because of the stigma generic products had around them. Probably in no small part because of the packaging being so loud. Although I'm not even sure I remember that correctly. The whole white packaging thing might have been something I just saw in movies as a kid. Nowadays it's crazy. Most chains have multiple tiers of their own generic brands and some of them cost more than basic name brand stuff. Like, Kroger, target etc have premium generic brands like "private select" that are meant to be cheaper versions of luxury products.
