Title: What are all the vitamins/minerals lost from cooking meat?
Post by: ColeJames on May 22, 2011, 03:00:34 am

Hey all, as I stated in my introduction thread, I'm slowly easing myself into the raw paleo lifestyle. Since I'm still not getting used to the taste of raw meat, I will take the approach of gradually lowering the cooking time of my meat over an extended period of time until I'm fine with it completely raw. In the meantime however, I understand that many of the nutrients are lost from the cooked meat. I know that some include vitamin C and B-6. What are all the others? I don't want any sort of deficiency as I transition, so I think the best thing to do is take supplements along the way until I'm full raw and no longer need supplements. So other than vitamin C and B6, can anyone give me a definitive list of all the nutrients lost from cooking meat? Thanks!

Don't bother with the supplements, though.

Judging from Tyler's first link, grilling the meat and having it a bit rare may be the best bet. Grilling loses less than stewing say.
