3 John 1:2
"Red meat is calorie-dense, so cutting it out of your daily diet could mean a lower number on the scale. "Most portions of meat are more than the actual protein requirement, and these larger portions can be replaced by alternative protein sources that are much lighter in calories, still satisfying, and
also easier to digest," says Sally Warren, PhD, traditional naturopath at Metro Integrative Pharmacy. "A three-ounce serving of beef can be around 170 calories, but a portion of beans can be around 100 calories and tofu around 70 calories, each supplying the same amount of protein."
...... in the Journal of General Internal Medicine reported that people on a vegetarian diet lost more weight than those on a non-vegetarian diet, although vegans shed more weight than people who still ate eggs and dairy products.
 "Red meat together with white flour, coffee, and soda produces a high acidic load for the body to absorb and neutralize," explains Dr. Warren. "Plus, high acidity in the body creates the perfect environment for disease—add stress and poor sleep to the mix and you've lowered your resistance to high-mortality illnesses like cancer and diabetes." The majority of fast-food meals excludes more alkaline foods such as vegetables and fruits, which can balance out the acid-forming foods.
 In fact, a 2014 study published in the journal Nutrition, found that vegetarians had lower rates of inflammation than meat eaters." ReadersDigest
