How Much Meat Is Too Much Meat?

Just the other day, a friend who recently began eating red meat again, after years of thinking it was bad for her, asked me how often she should be eating it.

Once per week?

Twice?

Just how much is too much?   

Honestly, I’d have a very hard time giving a specific number for frequency; rather, I’d suggest approaching it as I address all Paleo foods:  with balance.

Similar to the idea that one would be better off having spinach one evening with dinner, broccoli the next and rapini the next instead of spinach all three nights in a row, it would be to one’s advantage to have grass fed beef one night, then perhaps some wild salmon the next and free range turkey on the third day.

The more balance and variety the better, not just for your body but for your taste buds!
