shrimp can be raw, wow im about to become bubba gump here

I'll take steak and shrimp. Throw the shrimp on the grill along side the steak and toss in a baked potato, corn on the cob, a Caesar salad, and some fresh iced tea and I'm in heaven.

fuck yea. wow. we should have a web diplomacy barbeque event someday. in some really random midwestern place like leavenworth kansas

Steak. Man food. Prawns are for pussies

(brainbomb probably lives in kansas....)

see i like them all. if you have any remote idea of how to make any one of them, there are just soooooooo many things you can do with any one, any two, or all three of these....

but then again, i am a carnivore...

Mmmmm... poison.

Nebraska lol

Shrimp and chicken. Steak is too chewy.

Chicken. Steak is how you get Mad Cow disease, and shrimp are just Cockroaches of the Sea.

Nothing beats a really good steak.

Steak and Chips

Isnt Nebraska next to Kansas? Like due north of it?

Chickens because it's so versatile. It's good in almost every kind of cuisine and goes great with a million different sides.

Oh and let's have the BBQ in Chicago. Great central location with 2 big airports.

Chicago is a favorite destination of my wife and kids...

"Steak is too chewy." That's because you are either 1. A *cheap* grocery shoper or 2. a lousy cook. Good *steak* melts in your mouth. And I say *steak* because not all "beef" is "steak"

Good steak is amazing I just wish it was a little better for you.

Draug has it right....Steak and Shrimp....fuck the potato (I'm off of grains and potatoes and the weight is falling off....seriously....just meat, veggies and fruit) basically, any protien is what I love -- steak, shrimp, chicken, etc...they ALL have their time and place if you are a good cook.

Does a sweet potato count in that? I know they're pretty healthy for you but not sure if the good out weigh the bad.

@Celtic --- errr....who said steak was bad for you? I have switched my diet over to pretty much exclusively protein and veggies and the weight is falling off. wife has gone from size 10/12 to 6/8 in a few months with no change in activity.

I ***highly** recommend signing up for the newsletter, and reading the material. PROTEIN, HEALTHY **FATS**, no grains, Veggies, some fruits...turns your body in to a fat-burning machine.

Healthier than in *years* and I ear eggs in butter, bacon, beef, etc all the time...modern "science" is wrong....and this info will explain why. Think about it....as the government tells people how to eat, we just contnuially get fatter and fatter....obviously, the government info isn't working. But THIS diet does....and it's *easy*....uhhh...stop eating bread...stop making potatoes and rice...meat and veggies...easy peasy.

Seriously - take a look.

We eat a lot of sweet potatoes/yams/squash in lieu of potatoes. And once we started dropping weight, we eat potatoes on occasion, etc....but I really don't miss them at all.

Thanks for the unsolicited advertising.

Ok I know if heart disease runs in your family you want to limit the amount of red meat you eat. My father passed away from a heart attack and his mother had a stroke young, while that doesn't mean I'll have the same problems but I don't want to chance it either.

We (me and my husband) end up eating a lot of chicken, veggies, but either rice or potatoes normally. He kinda needs the carbs because of his job, but I'm thinking about cutting them out of my diet.

Not unsolicted, and not advertising. thatwasawkward when thatwasawkward misunderstood conversation and friendly advice for "advertising"....I'm healthier and want others to be the same if my experience can help them.

I know someone else who's doing basically the same diet as Krellin. I think the only difference is there's more focus on leaner meats like fish and chicken then red meat.

And personally my biggest fear is being like my father and dying to young from something I can solve with proper exercise and diet.

Carbs are good **IF** you are going to burn them. The web site I suggest talks about carb use by the body...talks about insulin spiking by excessive carbs, etc. Goes in to a lot of scientific into about that stuff.

Heart disease is **not** because of red meat. That's just simply a load of crap. For everyone that dies early of heart disease, i can find a farmer that lived off red meat and bacon and lived to 95...while smoking.

Lot of those "studies" are not accurately reported....also discussed on web site with many references.

YOU, my dear, are pretty much a sack of red meat....and you've heard the phrase "you are what you eat"....so...er....if you are red meat, what is *best8 for you to eat in order to kee your red meat red? Hmmm....RED MEAT...animal protein and fat.

Serously, Celtic --- if you care about your health, then take a few days -- not much at all -- to examine the info and make an informed decision. I was very skeptical....and then i consulted varous people....started doing it...and it's great.

Oh I think I'm going to do the version I was talking about mainly because I love fish and don't mind mostly meats and veggies. It's just figuring out how to balance my diet verses what the husband eats. Now he does burn off the carbs at work and does like them. So it's some give and take.

Celtic....honestly, we changed out diet about 80% of the time....we still do carbs (pizza...yummmm) on occassion, and ice cream on a special night....can't totlaly deprive ourselves....but most of our dinners are protein and veggies (squash, sweet potatoes or yams)....same with lunch. Peeps that are going to burn a lot of energy *should* eat more carbs, because they *need* the easy energy source and their body will use it. I sit at a desk all day....so carbs are evil to me....just a source of fat....but if I **eat** fat, then my body will **burn** fat for energy...first the fat i eat, then the fat I have stored. If I carb-load...I will insulin rush so that my body STORES fat from the excess carbs I can't burn.

There is a whole science behind all this...very fascinating, actually. But you and your husband should probably eat a slightly different diet based upon your indications. Give and take...

What I like best is....protein and veggies is EASIER to make for dinner...no rice or potatoes, no bread....it's easier. AND....since I am now eating more protein, I am less hungry in general....protein is harder to digest, no insulin rush....no hunger pangs....so i don't snack at night. It's really fantastic.


www.marksdailyapple.com Give it a look.

I will. I think I did before and it looked a lot like what I was going to do anyways. I only include my husband so much because I do the cooking for the most part and don't want to make 2 different meals. So I'll problems do a nice meat, a side of rice or potatoes for him, a salad for me, and some steamed veggies. It'll be a lil more work but worth it.

No sane human who has seen the inside of a chicken abb eats chicken. Not in Australia anyway. Chicken - not just cheap, but *nasty*

And tasty

Good steak is amazing I just wish it was a little better than me.

krellin all sounds good but carbs for a diabetic of any sort need to be evaluated as to simple or complex and fast or slow to control blood sugar. I find the baked potato with margarine (not butter) and a touch of sour cream works well for keeping carbs in me while not spiking my sugar. Sweet potatoes *always* spike my sugar even when I make them at home without the brownsugar they use in restaurants. They just have too much fast and simple carbs in them.

I can't cook, but I didn't cook the steak anyway. My experience with steak is quite limited, my family's vegetarian.

I'm on the Taco bell, cigarettes and Coors Light diet. And yes Draugnar, Nebraska is sitting on top of Kansas because we are so much more mighty.

Steak-Oscar Style at Ruth's Chris.

There's no fucking way I'm ever giving up bread from my diet, even if it turns out to be more unhealthy than mainlining cyanide. it's just not going to happen.

@Bob G - I did the Atkins Diet a few years ago. After a couple of weeks I developed food cravings. I had cravings for bread, for spuds (potatoes), for rice, for CARBS! I couldn't believe it - I *needed* a slice of bread the way I *needed* a cigarette when I quit smoking (35 years ago).

It worked though. I lost 11lbs in the first week and 42lbs in 3 months. But then I went on the holiday I'd been dieting for - to the 'States! OMG the portion sizes over there! And the plate-covering steaks! And the enormous quantities of garlic prawns and crusty bread that just kept coming! <happy sigh>. Needless to say, I'm back to 270lbs again.

Oh and I'd choose Steak if it's good melts-in-the-mouth steak, followed by garlic prawns (got to be from Mocubar in Palma Nova though) and then chicken in the form of Chicken Madras with Pilau Rice and a Plain Naan from my local Indian takeaway.

<Damn it! I've just had to order a mouth-watering Indian takeaway.>

this sounds like an infomercial.
