It’s true! Due to the CLA content in grass fed beef, weight loss is a reality. CLA is a naturally occurring fat found in animal and dairy fats such as beef and poultry that are not fed grains. As soon as you feed cattle grain they start loosing their natural ability to produce CLA. Animals that graze on pasture have from 300 to 400% more CLA than animals fattened on grain in a feedlot.

We all know, diet and exercise are required to lose weight. However, University of Wisconsin research, completed this year but not yet published, showed that CLA intake will assist individuals who lose weight in preventing putting weight back on. The human intestine produces CLA naturally from linoleic acid. Recent studies have been conducted on attaining a higher CLA content in daily food intake because of possible health benefits such as weight loss.

Kobe Bryant on Bone Broth

“I’ve been doing the bone broth for a while now…It’s great – good for energy and reducing inflammation” Kobe Bryant

From Gwyneth Paltrow to Kobe Bryant, many celebs are touting the benefits of bone broth. On a typical training day in Los Angeles, the LA Lakers team chef, makes enough broth to feed around 30 people.

The cooking process takes about eight hours, then the chef will: “strain the broth and place it in a fridge, where it turns into a gel when cooled.” Why is this seemingly simple paleo-liquid something that Kobe and Gwyneth would want to drink? According to experts, it is the gelatin that contains many of the health benefits of bone broth.

A well made broth is full of minerals including calcium and magnesium. In addition to minerals, bone broth contains collagen and elastin proteins great for hair, skin and nails. Bone broth can help with digestion, inflammation, and boosts the immune system.

The broth is made from animal bones, herbs, vegetables and spices that have been simmered into a broth. Bone broth has been a source of nutrients for 1000’s of years.

Anything that Kobe Bryant does to improve his health should be noted. As one of the best NBA players and athletes of all-time, Bryant has pushed his body to the limits for years.

Homemade Bone Broth Tips

When striving to make the best and most nutritious homemade bone broth, check out our homemade bone broth tips and the link to our recipe below.

Homemade Bone Broth Tips

Select the best bones possible.
Always blanch and roast your bones. See our bone broth recipe here.
Use a crock pot for cooking your broth. It is a safer and easier option for most people. If you are using the stove-top method, use an over sized pot and be sure to keep an eye on your broth.
After you cool the broth, a layer of fat will harden on top. You can use remove it with a strainer or ladle. If your bones are from quality grass fed and properly raised animals, this is a healthy, nutrient-dense source of fat. You can choose to consume it or to save this fat in a jar in the fridge and use it as a cooking oil when making other dishes.
If your broth becomes thick and jelly-like …that’s what you want! That means it contains a significant amount of gelatin (collagen). When you heat up your broth, it will turn back into liquid form.
To warm up your broth, use a saucepan. Gently heat your broth on the stove, not in a microwave oven. This will retain the maximum possible nutrients.
Use your broth as a soup base. Try it in sauces. Replace the water when cooking rice, quinoa, or other grains.
Remove the bones out of the broth using tongs or a course strainer. Then cool the pot to room temperature as fast as possible. Ladle as much as you think can be used for cooking/drinking purposes over the course of 3 or 4 days. Broth will not sore long in the fridge as it’s a a fantastic nutrient base for us as well as bacteria. Store a small amount in an airtight storage container in the fridge. Whatever’s left gets frozen.
Strain the both using a very fine strainer. We use two. First a fine strainer, then a gold coffee strainer.
Use a muffin pan to freeze the broth. This results in cup size usable potions that are easy to pop in a pan and quickly warm.

Omaha Steaks

Omaha Steaks

Omaha Steaks, Kansas City Steaks, New York Steaks, Montana and Texas Steaks are all banned in Europe. Most steaks served in your favorite steakhouse are banned too. Hamburger, yes it is banned as well.

Why?

The U.S. beef cattle are fed synthetic hormones in the feedlots prior to slaughter. The chemicals are essentially growth hormones meant to increase the net amount of meat produced from each cow, but numerous concerns have been raised (by the National Cancer Association, no less) about the high incidence of hormonal cancers produced as well.

Diethylstilbestrol (DES) was one of the first hormones used to fatten feedlots. It was banned in 1979 after forty years of evidence that DES was cancer-causing. In its place, sex hormones, such as estradiol and progestins (synthetic forms of the naturally occurring hormone progesterone) have been implanted to virtually all feedlot cattle.

Super Cows injected with hormones.

As early as 1989, the EEC (European Economic Community) put its collective foot down and said that’s not okay, and banned the treated beef from being sold in any E.U. country, though some of those restrictions have since relaxed depending on the hormones used. European consumers pressured the EEC to take this action to protect their health.

11 More Banned Ingredients We Eat In the U.S.

What kind of policies should be in place in the U.S. to address this problem?

Hormonal and other carcinogenic additives (pesticides from food fed to animals, some antibiotics, etc.) should be banned immediately, as should be all additives that are not proven effective and safe. Additive use and residue levels in animal products, including milk and eggs, should be subject to explicit labeling requirements. Until then, state initiatives that establish hormone-free certification for European shipments, should be applauded and extended domestically.

What can consumers do to protect themselves?

Consumers can boycott chemical treated meat in favor of untreated local meat and insist on the fight to know which additives have been used and what residues might exist. Consumers should speak with their butchers or grocers about hormone-free meat product availability.
