Actually, I have eaten very little red meat for almost 12 years now. In fact, during that time period, there were a couple of 3-year stretches where I didn't eat any red meat at all. From time to time I break down and have a hamburger... but I usually regret it shortly thereafter. So that's not something I can "incorporate" at this point 'cause I already did it long ago. As for the exercise thing, right now, I'm already averaging 3 lbs. of weight loss a week, and the doctor doesn't really want me losing it any faster than that, so I'm waiting until I "plateau" before I start an exercise regimen. Good to hear from you Robert :)
