better skin without red meat?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

First of all you wouldn't be considered a vegetarian if you only cut out red meat... and secondly, red meat is NOT what causes poor skin... although you should consider switching to grass-fed red meats (if you continue to still eat them) because they're not treated with hormones. The protein you should definitely eat is FISH... that is VERY good for your skin!

Red Meat = Beef, Bison, Elk, Ostrich, Venison, Lamb & Goat

White Meat = Turkey & Chicken Breast & Pork

Best tip for better skin is to drink plenty of fluid throughout the day (but not excessive amounts). Water and other fluids will clear toxins from your body and hydrate your skin. Not eating red meat may help your skin, as some dietitians say too much red meat slows the rhythm of the bowel which could also affect overall health. Red meats are beef, lamb, pork, goat, venison, etc. White meat is chicken, fowl (turkey and other edible birds) and fish. Include in your daily intake green and coloured vegetables. Avoid biscuits, cake and chocolate as much as possible, as these contain lots of hidden sugar and bad fats. A good daily moisturiser is essential for your face and/or any other part of your body. But then as a lady you'll know all about that. It's the men who need to cream up.
ps. if you still eat chicken and turkey, you can't call yourself vegetarian. They won't like it.

I had a discussion about this with a dermatologist friend. In her experience, she rarely sees improvements in skin based on foods alone. She said the odd time she does find someone who says they cut out certain food and improved, but it is not common.
If you are eating an extremely processed, high fat/sugar diet, then you may see some improvement, however, you would likely still see that if you continued to eat meat and simply cut out processed foods and sugars.

Basically, if your skin clears, consider it a bonus, but I wouldn't count on it.
And no, I don't think cutting out red meat alone will clear your skin.

Sarah - iron isn't ****, it is necessary for health. Fat is found in a lot of things besides red meat as are toxins.

You should not consider going vegetarian just for your benefits. You should definitely think about others involved. Think about all the animals you are saving from slaughterhouses and the abuse they endure, think about how you are helping saving our planet.

For some people, yes, it can help improve their skin, but that is only because when they go vegetarian, they are more conscious of their diets, and in turn eat more healthily.

I am vegetarian and I eat lots of vegetables, fruits, nuts, etc..
I also exercise daily, which helps improve my skin also.

Oh my god, when I became a vegetarian (at first, when I was really healthy with it), my skin got red less, acne got better, I lose a **** ton of weight I didn't even realize I wanted to lose! It was just pretty awesome. I only ate like 1000 calories a day like a little anorexic *****, but I mean it happened, so... that's that.

But I mean, still today I am veggie, but I eat like way more than I used to. I stayed skinny, and I feel pretty good. I eat alot now, though. And I have cravings, I think maybe because I don't get enough filling protein, but somehow I manage to stay skinny. Being veggie is awesome.

Red meat: Ham, Beef, Liver, basically any reddish meat.
White meat: birds, stuff like that. shellfish and fish are not red meat, so eat away.

Red meat has alot of fat and iron and toxins. Don't eat that ****.

basically every meat except turkey and chicken are red meats. and not to be offensive but youre not a vegitarian if u only cut out red meats.

life....not the board game
