Is it true that meats such as beef and pork do not completely digest and remain in the human body forever?

Think about that question. If it was true, then everyone who had ever eaten meat would be in terrible pain in the hospital from a burst digestive track.  No one who ate meat would even live long enough to reproduce.   \nSounds like vegan propaganda to me.

yes ...celery is mostly water and plant fibers that we cant digest (don't have the right enzymes).  Your body actually spends more calories trying to get it digested and transported thru your intestinal system than it can retrieve.

Most likely yes.  With my own experience I find eating high protien foods meat, fish, eggs, poultry, and dairy products, lowfat milk, and fruits and vegetables I will lose weight or stay stable.  Once I start ripping in to the junk food or non nourishing foods for more than three or four days I start packing on the pounds.  The more nourishing the food the more it takes off the pounds. Protien fills you up so you don't get hunger pangs every couple hours.  It also builds muscle.  Junk food is full of junk and junk is all just bad fat calories.  The motto is if you eat good 75%-80% of the time you can pig out that 20% with no problem.  Just make sure the good outweighs the bad habits.

The human body comprises chemical compounds such as water, amino acids (proteins), fatty acids (lipids), nucleic acids (DNA/RNA), and carbohydrates (e.g. sugars). These compounds in turn consist of elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus, and may or may not contain minerals such as calcium, iron, and zinc. Minerals also ubiquitously occur in the form of salts and electrolytes. All of these chemical compounds and elements occur in various forms and combinations (e.g. hormones/vitamins, phospholipids, hydroxyapatite), both in the human body and in organisms (e.g. plants, animals) that humans eat.\n\nThe human body must necessarily comprise those elements that humans eat and absorb into the bloodstream. The digestive system, except in the unborn fetus, is the first step in helping to make the different chemical compounds and elements in food available for the trillions of cells of the body. In the digestive process of an average adult, about seven litres of liquid, known as digestive juices, exit the internal body and enter the lumen of the digestive tract. The digestive juices help break chemical bonds between ingested compounds as well as modulate the conformation and/or energetic state of the compounds/elements. Yet many compounds/elements are absorbed into the bloodstream unchanged, though the digestive process helps to release them from the matrix of the foods where they occur. Any unabsorbed matter is eliminated in the feces. Only a minimal amount of digestive juice is eliminated this way; the intestines reabsorb most of it otherwise the body would rapidly dehydrate (hence the devastating effects of persistent diarrhea).\n\nStudy in this field must take into careful account the state of the body before ingestion and after digestion as well as the chemical content of both the food and the waste. The specific types of compounds and elements that are absorbed by the body can be determined by comparing the waste to the food. The effect that the absorbed matter has on the body can be determined by finding the difference between the pre-ingestion state and the post-digestion state. The effect may only be discernible after an extended period of time in which all food and ingestion must be exactly regulated and all waste must be analyzed. The number of variables (e.g. 'confounding factors') involved in this type of experimentation is very high. This makes scientifically valid nutritional study very time-consuming and expensive, which accounts for why a proper science of human nutrition is rather new.\n\nIn general, eating a variety of fresh, whole (unprocessed) foods has proven hormonally and metabolically favourable compared to eating a monotonous diet based on processed foods. In particular, fresh, whole foods provide higher amounts and a more favourable balance of essential and vital nutrients per unit of energy, resulting in better management of cell growth, maintenance, and mitosis (cell division) as well as of appetite and energy balance. A generally more regular eating pattern (e.g. eating medium-sized meals every 3 to 4 hours) has also proven more hormonally and metabolically favourable than infrequent, haphazard food intake.\n\nVitamins give you a complement among all the nutrients your body requires. It is not advisable at all to substitute entirely your meals with vitamins and dietary or food supplements.  I recommend you to look for a nutritional advisor and discuss in which way you can adjust your meals, having all the necessary elements your body needs, plus, eating only what you like.

Definitely. Every one remarks on how much weight I've lost and want to know what I did, but when I tell them they don't want to believe. It's been 3 yrs since I started this and have lost 35 lbs. I eat only chicken or seafood and at times no flesh at all.  Pork is not considered red meat and is actually on par with chicken.  Keep doing what you're doing, I think you're on the right track.

What is not stored for energy (fat) or burned off goes through the large intestine(colon) and expelled. Apparentley there is some residue left in the colon which can be removed through high intake of water and fibre and/or colon cleansing.

It ain't the protein, it's the cholesterol. All organ meat is high in cholesterol.

need more info to answer that... don't know what you mean by a cleanse??? for what??? meat??? if you haven't eaten it in 35 years, than no of course not.  There isn't any left in your system.

it can not be digested by humans and therefore acts like a roto-rooter through the colon cleaning it and pushing things through it. It. It is not able to be broken down by a lot of animals.Cows and sheep can break it down but because of its 4 stomachs.

Not necessarily. A lot of people assume the blood and guts and all other types of stuff will ooze out and junk like that but in reality this is not so. Usually the blood is already drained out, and the inside is actually clean, (although smelly) to allow you to clearly see all of the parts and so forth. It can be quite interesting actually.

I don't see any logic on that. \nMaybe it is ture,as you say, but it is not true. In certain diseases it is recommended to eat meat.\nLet me tell you also that your Q is very generic.\nFirst, we know that (almost)everything depends on quantity. Do you mean that eating big amounts of red meat will harm yourself?\nThis is true. Consider the pyramide of nutrition and you have prooved that.\nSecond, it depends on age, sex and nutritional requirements on the basis of our job. \nThird, we have to specify that meat quality depends on the quality of food that the animal eats.You can have low fat meat.\n\nFor further information, go to http://www.usda.gov click on the consumer's section and then click on food and nutrition.\nThere is a plan that can help you choose the foods and amounts that are right for you.\n\nI don't refer to any religious convinctions that prohibit meat consumption or the philosophy which states that life is unique so we can't eat similar species. \n\n\nKaterina

The weight loss is from the associated dehydration. There is no mythical buildup of 15 lbs of undigested red meat up there, I'm sorry but thats an urban legend.

The stomach will never digest most liquids.\n\nThe stomach's digestive ability is largely restricted to proteins. It has almost no ability to digest fats and a very, very limited ability to digest carbohydrates.\n\nSo a liquid like milk that contains fats and carbohydrates as well as proteins will simply never be digested in the stomach. It could sit there for days without being broken down. Maybe, just maybe, if milk could  sit in the stomach for weeks the acid would eventually break down the sugars and fats in the milk, but it's not certain.\n\nThe point you really need to appreciate is that the stomach is only the second in a very long line of organs that are required to digest food.

Meat tends to stay for quite a long time.

Rabbit.  Also the most digestable.  You didn't say, but fish is considered a meat also.  In that case, scallops and lobster are lower than anything with legs on them.  Bon Appetite.

well if you eat alot of meat(which think about it, is nothing more than dead flesh)and it sits in your gut for a few days before coming out(just think of the smell of road kill after it sits for a few days) and wham,bam thank you sam thats why shit stinks!!!

What the animal eats affects it. Also I've been told an animal that isn't killed quick - for example chased for a while or wounded and runs before dying or getting a fatal shot - the adrenaline affects the meat. I'm not sure how much truth there is in it but it makes sense. The deer that tastes like roast beef probably was killed quick and cooked differently. I agree on the taste varies - but can well be a combination of things.
