G'day Sy,

I'm 56 years of age, 6"2, 205 lbs and work out regularly aerobically
and with weights. I'm not into fad diets and believe that caloric
moderation with an exercise regimen is the most sensible way to go.

Lately I've developed a real "taste" for beef jerky and have been
eating quite a bit of it ( the packaged type) the last few weeks.
About 1/4 to 1/2 lb. per day lately. I'm trying to lose a bit more
bodyfat and I find that the the jerky is filling and I'm less likely to
snack on "junK" foods.

Beef jerky is high in protein, low in fat and seems pretty healthy
except for the fact that it contains of sodium.

Any comments or feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Sy



Does the jerky you eat contain MSG?? if it does, there's one poison you
don't need.

Not sure about what you lot have in America, but all the jerky we have here
in Australia contain chemical additives which suggest to me that it's a very
big reason to avoid the stuff altogether. Also, being a meat product, and
probably refined in some way, it's another reason to avoid it.
