I am a firm believer in protein thats why i love fish so much not just because it taste good but it has alot of protein .
I wish I liked fish:( I will just have to find something I like that is as good in protein.
The videos were wonderful! Oh my I didnt realize how to much red meat can hurt you! I eat alot of pork so I will be changing my meating habits up and not eating as much of the red meats. Im so glad i saw this so I can work on my meats.
I agree. These videos really opened up my eyes. I have to make some changes also. We do eat a lot of chicken and fish, but we also partake in red meat on a regular basis.
i learned a big mistake i was doing i was intaking too much protein i work out regularly and i have always been told to put on muscel u need to eat alot of protein so all i would eat is protein every day and i was intaking way to much i really appreciate this video it has really helped me alot
I have been eating too much protein also. I thought the more protein I eat the more it would help me build muscle. I also thought have protein just as meat and eggs. I did not even think about vegitables having protein also.
I really enjoyed watching these videos. A lot of people in my family has had cancer or currently has it. My mother has cancer and I try to read up on what she can do to fight it. We both consume our share of protein. When looking for meats, I always choose the most lean cut. I hate fats on my meat! They may make it have a good flavor but I cannot eat it!
I am big on eating protein. I have lost weight on protein based diets in the past but I eat way over the recommended amount daily. What I really need to work on is getting the fish into the diet. I already eat mainly poultry.
This is interesting. I never knew that eating protein can help lose weight. Maybe I need to do more research on health and diets. Haha.
I hardly ever eat fish so I will try to aquire some into my diet. My husband has to have some type of meat with each meal. This video will help me with what to choose when it comes to protein in our diet. I almost always eat grilled or baked meats so I know that is a good thing.

Around here, if the meal doesn’t include meat it just isn’t a meal. It’s good to learn serving sizes, and how much we are suppose to consume each week.
same thing around my house, it would be good to show them this video so that they can see that meat can harm the body.
Ok this video scared me a little. I did not realize how much red meat could hurt you. I live on hamburger meat, steaks and some pork. I am going to have to learn to eat fish, I eat chicken but would rather have burger meat or steak. After that there will be a lot more chicken and try my best to start eating fish. And I am glad I now understand protein a lot better. I just really truly am glad I have to watch these with diet I am on it is really helping me.
I make sure I fit enough protien into my diet. I was unaware so many foods contained the protien without consuming meat. I have been using the altenative of protien shakes and bars but now I will try the actual foods that provide me the protien such as nuts and beans. I realize now how protein is an important balance of everyday lifestyle.
I realize now how important protein is in everyday lifesyle. I usually use the alternative of protien shakes or bars because i was unaware of the foods besides meat provide protien. I will definetly add more beans and nuts to my diet.
My wife has cut out red meat in her diet and started eating veggie stuff. It has helped her a ton. I have tried but i cant do with out my meat.
I couldn’t do without meat either. I love it too much!
I’m not a big eater of red meat, instead I prefer Chicken and Pork (baked or boiled) with lots of herbs. I love boiling my pork, once they are done, letting the water spoil out and browning with the grease left behind.
I don’t eat alot of red meat, but I do chicken and port, with lots of spices. I don’t care my for greasy foods.
I’ve never been a really big red meat eater. I love my chicken and fish though. And I try to stay away from any type of fried foods already. I actually watched the documentary “forks over knives” and bought the recipe book based on it. So I’m hoping to eventually be meat free, the dairy will be a hard habit to break though.
Try watching the documentary “forks over knives” it may change how much you love meat.
I was glad for them to say that poultry is one of the good sources of protein. I loooove chicken. I need to eat more fish though. I hardly eat any!
I used to not eat hardly any fish now I eat it probably three times a week.
The videos were helpful, I eat a lot of meat! I eat meat everyday usually twice a day. I never knew it was so important to change up your eating habits. I am always hungry lol and I just now I know why.
I agree. I have a bad habit of eating the same foods all the time. Now I understand how important it is to make changes in the foods I eat.
Spinach! Every few months my wife and I try to do away with meat. I end up making spinach/kiwi shakes. Spinach is great for this because all of the taste goes away when you start mixing in fruits. It’s a GREAT breakfast that is easy to make in the blender. I fill the blender about 75% with spinach (don’t pack it), then throw in a couple of kiwi’s and some other frozen fruits. The liquid you use is the most important. I used bolthouse farms green goodness usually, but i got other people at work to do it as well and some of them used sprite or 7up. Plain water will work, but it doesn’t taste as good. For those of us who don’t normally eat a ton of veggies, it’s all about the taste.
I barely eat meat! If I eat meat then I’m in a very good mood. I eat chicken and hot dogs!
I did not realize that you could get protein from so many different food sources. I’ve just always thought of protein coming from meat. This was very good information.
These videos were very imformative. I recently though since I have started weight watchers have cut out a lot of red meat. I have replaced it with turkey or chicken.
I like how the one video broke the protein down for you. Eating lean meat 2 times a week, fish 2 times a week, and poultry 3 times a week doesn’t sound too difficult. It makes things a little easier to understand and a little less complicated for people that lead busy lifestyles. Just plug those numbers in and add a starch and a veggie and you’re ready to go! I think that if everyone took the time (and had the money) to make out a weekly menu and stuck to it, then we would have a lot healthier society. Its just simply not cheap to eat healthy. I know its sad, but its the truth. Its much cheaper to eat unhealthy food than it is to eat healthy food.
My parents always told me that fish was good for your health but i always thought they were just saying that to get me to eat fish since i dont like it very much. I am going to start adding more fish to my diet.
In the first video it was pointed out that pork is considered a red meat. At first I thought this had to be a mistake because I remember all of those commercials stating pork was “the other white meat”. I never really questioned the advertisement until now. I don’t eat pork regularly, but will probably limit use of it even more now.
That video is making me crave chicken. And I love meat so I couldnt bring my self to finish the vegan video, though it is important that they understand how to balance their meals so they can get all the essential aminoacids they require
The first video emphasizes on the size, that is very important. One of our problem is also because we do not know what quantity is enough for one meal and for an adult. The conclusion we can draw from our daily life is that there is more adult obese that children. this is partly due of accumulation of bad fat (trans fat), in our diet. That is also true for protein, as we learn it in the second and third video.
These videos made me realize how I could use vegetables more for protein instead of relying on meats. I think the biggest problem with meats is the portion sizes and way they are deep fried or buried in rich sauces. I will pay attention to meat portion sizes as well as buying leaner meats after learning more the actual protein requirement versus the average consumption.
I had no idea that pork was considered a “red” meat. But I know now. I will need to really start looking at how many times a week my family and I eat red meats. We do eat a lot of chicken and fish, but knowing now what I learned with these three videos, that may become all that I have in my home. I know that everything in moderation, but knowing all that is bad with these meats, well…. I have to re-evaluate this truthfully.
I ALWAYS THOUGHT PORK WAS CALLED THE OTHER WHITE MEAT. THIS WAS GOOD INFORMATION.
As a vegetarian I don’t eat any red meat. The only meat I ever eat is fish every now and then, but even that is very rare. However, I am glad to know that I still get my recommended amount of protein from doing that 3 day nutrition food log for my nutrition class. I am hispanic and we enjoy beans and lentils a lot so it’s helpful because those are great sources of protein. I also eat eggs here and there. Protein is very important but i’ve heard in my nursing classes that most Americans actually get MORE than the recommended amount of protein as opposed to less than.
THIS VIDEO WAS A EYE OPENER. WE DON’T EAT A LOT OF FISH OR CHICKEN. WE MOSTLY EAT RED MEATS. I MAY NEED TO BUY A NEW COOK BOOK.
I am not a big red meat eater. I do love chicken and can eat it for every meal. I also incorporate fish into out diets every week. Tonight we had salmon so I stocked up on my omega 3 fatty acids. I did not realize that cottage cheese had so much protein in it. I am always snacking on that in between meals.
I am currently fighting cancer so this group of videos was particularly interesting to me. I just finished 4 months of chemotherapy and I ate a lot of high protein foods (chicken & fish). My blood work was always in good range. Lots of good information.
I am really sorry to hear this, but am glad that watching your diet has helped you.
My favorite source of protein is and always will be chicken. Red meat to me doesn’t taste right. I wish I wasnt so americanized and could base my protein intake around non animal products
I dont think i eat too much protien but in didnt know that red meat is not good for me. I now know how unhealthy i have been eating and serving my household.
It was interestion the different foods protein is derived from…I do realize from these videos I cannot be a vegetarian..lol! I do not eat alot of red meat but do realize eating more fish is very important
There’s no way I could ever be a vegetarian! Steak is just too good..but i do realize that it’s not the best for me. Eating steak every now-and-then is good, but i need to eat more fish. I also need to utilize the non-meat protein sources more than animals.
I was never a big fan of fish, but my boyfriend tells me all the time that fish is healthy for the body because of all the good stuff they have in it. Such as protein or fiber. I still don;t like fish because of the smell of it sometimes, but I think I might have to change this habit and start eating fish.
Try different recipes using fish until you find the recipe you like. Sometimes, you can use lemon juice and the peel to help with the fishy taste.
I never realized how important protein is for cancer patients. I would like to star using organic poultry more,including fish and seafood. changing my eating habits is a big goal i have right now. Im already having small health issues that are directly related to diet. Ive realized this through this class.
These videos gave me some really good tips like on buying meats and now I am going to start buying lean meats. I am a big time hamburger eatter.
