Reports indicate that the true reason for losing weight despite eating meat is "L-carnitine." This compound found in lean meats aids fat burning and converts protein into muscle. Lamb, beef, and pork are rich in L-carnitine, whereas domesticated poultry like turkey contain almost none.However, during winter, lean cuts from cattle and other livestock are scarce. To effectively consume L-carnitine, it's best to avoid fatty cuts.
Additionally, avoid eating meat on an empty stomach. Meat is difficult to digest and lingers in the stomach for extended periods when consumed with an empty stomach.Always eat vegetables before meat. When preparing lean meat dishes, incorporate ginger, garlic, onions, scallions, or mustard greens. The sulfur compounds and allicin in these vegetables aid digestion. Minced meat is easier to digest, making it more likely to cause weight gain. Opt for grilled or boiled meat over meatballs or patties.
