I am also a red meat (done rare) fan. Who has a theory about why they feel better on red meat... why do so much better on red meat than fish?

The closest I could figure out to why red meat gives me nearly instant energy is its high level of carnitine, which is grouped with amino acids but isn't strictly one, which is involved in cell energy exchange, and which is fragile in terms of how much heat processing it can stand up to.

I started reading about all I could when I noticed that serious fatigue tends to lift *entirely* within a few minutes of eating a rare steak. Well-done steak doesn't do it. Iron supplements and B12 supplements don't do it. Nothing else does it.

Anyone else?

(By the way, who does MUCH better in weight loss if they have a LOT of red meat and low carbs, vs. 4 oz. to 6 oz. a day of red meat and low carbs? Anybody?)
