Lean meats are mostly fine, depending on the source, the animal's diet, and the lack of processing. Going free range with my meats instead of the cheap processed stuff has done wonders for me. I feel a lot better too.

Of course it made a huge difference that I stopped drinking beer and eating out! I would have had a much healthier lifestyle by making those two changes alone, no doubt. But I wanted to go even farther and improve my health to the extreme, by getting most of my calories from unrefined plant based foods.
The risk of many cancer's, and heart disease can be drastically reduced from an unrefined plant based diet.
