Well ;
So far, so good ~
Some decades back I stopped eating beef for about four years, it helped but in the end I came crawling back, hard to pass up really good Carne Asada or a burger properly made on the grill out back, etc......
Once or twice a year I'll have a nice pastrami sandwich, loaded up with onions and too much mustard & pickles of course

.
I do try to avoid the fried foods but you can't live in my community and not be bombarded with it daily .
I don't know Nate's actual diet but I do know he's a hard physical worker as am I .
I hope he leaves off the heavy meat diet already, or if not now that he's seen the result .
