Written by | published on

Looking for muscle building protein fuel? No need for supplements, when a delicious steak is all it takes to propel the beneficial effects of resistance training on your body comp. Yes, today's SuppVersity article is about beef protein , but it's not about one chocolate flavored overpriced powdered slaugherhouse waste for carnivores, but rather about real beef: muscle meats from cattle, as the ones you put into a pan or onto the barbecue. A group of scientists from the University of Pavia in Italy wanted to know if a simple steak would affect the strength and body composition of young adults involved in a full-vody resistance-training program of eight weeks. Based on previous studies Negro et al. knew that beef protein (90g from a 340g steak) can help trainees increase their muscle gains, when it is consumed 60 minutes before the exercise (Symsoni. 2011). You can learn more about protein intake at the SuppVersity Are You Protein Wheysting? 5x More Than the FDA ...

Learn more about the fatty acid and nutrient composition of grass-fed vs. regular beef this SuppVersity article is for you... and make the first step to reduce your CVD risk by 20% irrespective of whether or not you're going to eat grass-fed in the future! I remember that I wrote a previous post about the detrimental effects of growing salmon on a high omega-6 diet. The result is a fish with an omega-3 to omega-6 ratio that is totally different from that of the wild-caught salmon everyone is raving about. Bad news, I know and to be honest, I am fed up with bad news. Luckily you can rely on the scientists over at the Leibniz Institute for Farm Animal Biology in Germany: Dirk Dannenberger and his colleagues have just published a paper that sheds some light on the beneficial side of this ostensibly nasty link between the fatty acid make-up of the feed and the fatty acid composition of the meat of the animals we eat. N6 in N3 out, N3 in N6 out - you see, it works both ways! ...

The Meaty Gritty on the Red Meat Debate: A Comprehensive Rebuttal of the Constant Assault On My Beloved Steaks

Image 1: Even if you find this disgusting, I would like to invite you at least read what the outspoken carnivor in me has to tell you. It appears to be an endless debate: Can you eat meat? May you eat meat? And even should you eat meat? I already mentioned in my post on the " Chinese meat supplement " study from last week that many of the accepted "truths" about real , unprocesed red meat are about as "true" as the hilarious statement that "going to the hospital causes pre-mature death"... After reading my friend Carl Lanore 's luckily very reasonable and not overtly "ranting" blogpost on " What to say to a Vegan ", a few days ago, I decided to sum up some of the research to scrutinize, which of the objections against and arguments for eating meat are actually rooted in science (I mean, my life as a meat eater could depend on it, right? ;-). Pork rules, but is that a good thing? If we take a look at the actual meat...
