More investigation: If it is only red meat that causes the symptoms then focus on other sources of protein like chicken, pork , turkey and fish. That much weight loss without change in diet suggests some type of problem. Some medications like stimulants can suppress appetite and conditions like anxiety can also decrease appetite. Keep track of daily calories to see if consuming what is needed for height and weight.
