While doing more and more reading, and watching budgeting, I am making sure to watch the fat intake on my eating regiment. My biggest target area would be my breakfast meal, which falls two hours before my lifting session.
I have not eaten pork in about 5 years. It had seemed like an unclean meat to me. Unfortunately, it would be a great (cheap) introduction to breakfast meals, as it seems. Better content than say turkey bacon or turkey sausage. Plus, if need be, I could implement it into other meals.
My question is, would it be worth it to introduce pork back into my diet after so long, or would it not be worth it at all? I am lean now, and have no need to drop serious body fat. The way I eat now is working fine for me, but the goal is to be healthier overall. I am eating fairly low carb, and am always looking for a good fat balance.
Any opinions or knowledge would be appreciated.
 
Love me some pork shoulder. My Peurto Rican friend makes it. He won't give me the recipe, says it's a "family secret".
 
Pork is great. Whats wrong with clean cooked animal fat sources? Don't deprive the body.
 
I dispute your ability to define this "unclean" quality you attribute to pork without sounding like a delusional dolt.

Do you consider bronze age holy texts to be reliable sources of dietary advice or something?
 
a lot of natural/organic advocates (a.k.a. kevin trudeau) say don't eat things like pig, shrimp, crab, etc. cause they eat poo, and that makes the meat bad, something about causing your cells to spin backwards or something.

i, however, say you should try it, if you feel fine, keep eating it. if you feel sick, don't keep eating it.
 
The only reasons to abstain from pork are religious.

There are ZERO legit health reasons for avoiding pork.

Any health reasons that could be used to support a position that pork should be abstained from have nothing to do with pork itself, and everything to do with avoiding excessive meat consumption in a person who's diet is very poor in fiber and vegetables.

That's basically just a bastardized version of kosher theory. Also, Trudeau is not to be trusted about any subject.

it's true. i don't necessarily think trudeau is entirely a crackpot, i'm sure he has a good idea or two somewhere in his books. but for the most part i find his theories to be out there, i was just saying that's what i've heard to be the reason why people say "no pork". i can't agree with someone who tells me not to eat bacon.
 
I did not eat pork for a year one time, due more to experimentation and hearsay than actual fact. I came back to eating pork, however, when gaining weight and/or keeping weight became an issue. Pork is really cheap, and cheap is good for my wallet.

Trudeau is neither a crackpot nor a quack. He's a scam artist.

"Trudeau's activities have been the subject of both criminal and civil action. He was convicted of larceny and credit card fraud in the early 1990s, and in 1998 paid a $500,000 fine for making false or misleading claims in his infomercials. In 2004, he consented to a lifetime ban on promoting products other than his books via infomercials."

"In 2005, the New York State Consumer Protection Board issued a warning that the book contains no actual cures, merely "page after page after page of pure speculation."[9] The board also warned of consumer complaints that the book is merely an advertisement for Trudeau's website and $71/month newsletter. The book also features a dustcover endorsement from former FDA commissioner Herbert Ley, who had died several years before the book was published. A spokesperson for the board stated that "[t]he hypocrisy surrounding this book and its advertisements is galling because people with real illnesses are being misled... This book and its marketing machine are a cynical attempt by Mr. Trudeau to cash in on his legal troubles with the federal government."[9] Another posting by the board stated that Trudeau was selling the information provided by those who ordered the book to junk mailers, telemarketers, and other direct marketers. Customers have also reported being charged the $71 per month for Trudeau's newsletter without actually having signed up for it, and reported problems with refunds. They report only being able to request a refund by long-distance toll call, in contrast to the toll-free line they could use to purchase Trudeau's product.[14]"


Trudeau is not to be trusted. He doesn't care about health or education, he just wants your money.

All of that is just from his wiki page. Kevin Trudeau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 
yea, i'm heavily leaning towards the "good for my wallet", try and start implementing it into my diet way
 
If ur trying low carb, pork is just right. Full of fat and protein :) can't live without bacon, pork sausages and lean pork chops :-) roast ham also :)
