What is the role of meat in a healthy diet?
I stopped eating meat 6 years ago.  I miss it, but decided to try going veg-only + eggs&#x2F;dairy and see how it impacted my life.  If I found myself unable to keep up with my exercise routines (bicycling and sporadic weight work), I&#x27;d have stopped.<p>But it really didn&#x27;t affect things, and I find myself unable to justify the cruelty of meat production.<p>One note: I did notice that it&#x27;s tougher to control carb intake while eating veg, because meat is a great way to feel full without spiking blood sugar.  When that&#x27;s not an option and you&#x27;re feeling like snacking, you&#x27;re faced with a ton of unhealthy options.  So I&#x27;m probably 10-15 lbs heavier than I would be if I ate meat.
