One more thing to consider
I totally forgot about this for cholesterol (doh!) also from the FAQ:
Quote:
Are there people who should avoid red meat and eggs?
Yes. Some people just seem to have a sensitivity to them. It may be the arachidonic acid found in red meat and egg yolks. These people lose weight just fine eating them, but their elevated blood pressure or cholesterol won’t come down until they stop the red meat and eggs. Sometimes people do better avoiding them if you are suffering from hypertension, elevated cholesterol, fluid retention, or inflammation such as arthritis, bursitis, asthma, allergies and rashes.

It's not the fat, it's the arachidonic acid. If you do a search on it in this forum you'll find a few posts on the subject. It's suggested you avoid the red meat and egg yolks for a few weeks and see how you feel, then try a meal with them and see what that produces. It may be the answer.
