Organic grassfed beef!

[ttboyy2k]

If one eats organic grassfed beef that is supposed to have large amounts of CLA in it and a better ratio of Omega 3's to 6's 2 to 3 times a day, would you still need a CLA supplement to loose weight or not?

Who says you need CLA's to lose weight?

I'm willing to bet organic milk has a lot of CLA's but you'd probably have to get the whole milk to do any good.

CLA suppliments are too expensive and I'm still not sure if the effect is all that significant.

i think that's only if the cow is finished on grass or pasture. otherwise, it's no guarantee, as even "organic" livestock might have been fed grain instead.

Where do you find organic grassfed beef?

You can google it, also there is a link on Mercola's website.
My question is the beef like the eggs is similar to flaxseed in that it omega 3 but needs to be converted into EPA before it is useful (i.e. partitioning effects)?

from what i've read, no, that is not the case. since it is an animal product, it has already converted some of the ALA in its feed into DHA and some EPA. a large "omega-3 egg" usually gives around 100-200mg of DHA. grass-fed meat should also already contain some amount of DHA/EPA. not as much as wild fish, but decent.
