Just bought a 1/2 grass-fed beef. Grass-fed beef is much healthier than grain-fed beef you get in the store. Go here to read more about it. It’s leaner, has 10-20% fewer calories, tastes better, doesn’t have hormones or steroids and doesn’t jack up your estrogen levels like grain-fed beef does.

I found this local butcher who sells grass-fed beef cheaper than anywhere else I could find it, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.

Here’s an anatomically correct photo (you can click the photo for a larger version) of what a cow looks like in my freezer:

Banu and I have been doing the Velocity Diet since August 1. The results have been pretty remarkable. We've been keeping a thread going in the forums of the guy who created the diet. You can find the thread here: Velocity Diet Forum. In case you don't know what the Velocity Diet is (most people don't), you can read about it here.

I haven't reposted all the messages from that thread because it's been fun to have the conversation over there, and to have Banu adding to the thread as well. However, my results and pics from today are pretty startling to me, so I thought I would post them here.
