It could still be a factory-farmed animal that was fed bales of hay. It could also be a cow that was pastured but fed grain at the end of its life to fatten it.<br /><br />It's funny how years ago eating beef from "corn-fed" cattle was supposed to be good.<br /><br />I also found your stress-reducing effect from magnesium interesting. It's not the first time I've heard it.Bixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06263963508785739508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5529309262484857340.post-7380700216377664822011-09-08T07:49:43.672-07:002011-09-08T07:49:43.672-07:00Bom dia Ezer,

I was having problems from alcohol, so the first step was to completely eliminate that. I wanted to have better general health, so I began working on my diet. I found the Weston A. Price group and ate similarly for about 6 months. No sugar; no processed foods, no seed oils/ include fermented dairy, butter, creme, bone broth…I also used a lot of coconut products and some soaked grains. I also was eating much fruit, especially papaya.<br />I lost 16Kg very quickly (3-4 months). I have maintained my current ~ 22 BMI for nearly a year (tenho 53 anos). I am active at my job and I walk and bicycle, but I don’t go to the gym or run or exercise (except push-up and sit-up).<br />Later, I cut back the grains and fruit, and I reduced the dairy. Currently, my eating is closer to paleo. Lots of vegetables and greens and sauerkraut (conhece chucrute?) and sweet potato. Beef and buffalo steak, heart and liver. Fish. I use beef tallow and red palm oil (dendê) for cooking. I add butter and olive oil after cooking. I use coconut oil more like a supplement.<br /><br />And now, tudo bem!!<br /><br />I’m fortunate that I know how to cook (I was a chef for many years). This is so important for healthy eating. <br /><br />Um abraço, Mike (EUA)Desmodushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14259994214790568149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5529309262484857340.post-53838345118331665672011-09-07T18:01:08.517-07:002011-09-07T18:01:08.517-07:00Oi Mike,
Thank you! How well is your diet working...Oi Mike,<br /><br />Thank you! How well is your diet working to you? What results have you achieved?<br /><br />For cooking, I use lard (rendered by myself) and butter. Coconut oil is selled here in Brasília (though it's unusual), but I'm going to try it someday. In salads, I use olive oil. I have cream in coffee and fermented cream with berries and nuts. Dendê is a great idea!<br /><br />Beef in Brazil is not labeled as 'grass-fed' or 'grain-fed'. I've never seen this. It seems that the most of (if not all) the brazilian beef is grass-fed, because of lower land prices. The dark side of it is that excessive deforestation is a big factor for lowering the prices. But I'm going to send an email to Brazil Department of Agriculture to confirm this information.<br /><br />Saúde to you too! I'm glad you like my blog :-)Ezerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373617761960602053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5529309262484857340.post-57407825812813000792011-09-07T07:31:38.715-07:002011-09-07T07:31:38.715-07:00Oi Ezer, Your diet looks much like mine.

Is grass-fed meat easily available in Brasil as in Argentina? <br /><br />Saúde!
