how long/much does it take to get the benefits of eating red meat?

i felt so low in energy yesterday, that i had some minced beef. Are the benefits from the iron instant, or do I have to keep on eating it to feel a change?

is it the iron? because i've been using a multi without iron for the last 3-4 weeks and been feeling out of energy and not recovering normally. The only reason why I am questioning is because even when I ate the multi with iron, meat use to give me a spark in energy (probably because of the sat. fat in it)...maybe they both contribute in their own way.

To answer your question, i usually feel the increase in energy right after I eat it, if I eat enough...if I don't then I usually eat more until I do feel energy(that was when I ate red meat). Usually it did not take much red meat to energize me.

you can rapidly feel the benefits of eating red meat

But it takes weeks (or even months) before you feel the effects of additional iron (rom red meat or any supplement )
