It is not true that the flavor in meat is from the fat.
The tender in meat
comes from the fat. You can cook very lean cuts of meat
and get great flavor
if you know how...

I agree with this, lean meat can taste wonderful if its
cooked right. It can even be tender. I have given up meat a
couple of times. It never lasted too long but, during my
vegaterian periods I did find that cooking steaks smelled
and tasted of tallow. I think you get used to whatever you
are doing.
I am on a diet now and eat minimal meat but the fact is
that there is more fat in some other things and meat is
satisfying. If you begin to look what is in different foods
you will quickly discover that some things that are supposed
to be "good" for you probably are not. For instance, I love
Salmon but its got a lot of cholesterol in it, as does much
fish. However, its supposed to have the lowest amount of
mercury.
Avoiding high cholesterol foods is not too difficult but
avoiding salt is a real bear. Nearly all prepared foods have
loads of salt. I do not need to eliminate salt but am trying
to minimize it. I no longer put salt on anything. After a
while you will find that many prepared foods, for instance
canned vegetables or especially soups, taste mostly of salt,
one has no difficulty in rejecting them.
I don't know how much avoiding salt has affected my
blood pressure because I've lost about 35pounds. My resting
BP is now down to around 100 to 115 over about 60. Measured
105/58 at the doctor's office today. I am continuing to
loose weight, albeit slowly, have about another 30 pounds to
go.
More than eating bad stuff we just eat too much. Cut
down your calories and it makes much less difference what
you eat as long as you are getting adequate nutrition.
