After analyzing it for a thousand hours over more than a decade, I still can’t find a better nutrient-to-cost ratio than grass-fed ground beef.

I also think non-grass beef is fine vs normal beef, but then I have certain environmental permaculture soil maxi ethical views. So I mean, ultimately my opinion is to eat beef, and preferably from cows that are as close to nature as possible (ie they eat tall deep-rooted grass and have space and thus don’t usually need antibacterial medicine because they are healthy).

I don’t like to conflict with real scientists, but more than a decade ago I began researching nutrition and experimenting on myself. Many bitcoiners find nutrition, but I found nutrition and then found bitcoin, which is the less profitable direction.

I am not a doctor or a nutritionist. Most doctors and nutritionists are shitty at nutrition, but nonetheless I am not one of them.

I am, however, an athlete and engineer. I began to notice my performance issues with industrial carbs and seed oils, and began removing them. Huge health boost, and I felt so much better. This was after reading many studies.

I then did personal blood tests. I logged my food, pricked my finger and tested my glucose each day, pricked my finger and tested my ketones each day, for science, etc. I felt good and performed well under ketosis, subject to certain athletic details depending on the sport.

Ultimately I practiced seasonal ketosis. Seasons of normal health-conscious food. Seasons where I go more hardcore on ketosis for health.

My main view is that low carb eating is good, grass-fed ground beef is particularly good and cheap, etc. Eat while foods and minimize toxins. I am happy to debate nutritionists or whoever on this, it isn’t my expertise, but imo a pre-qualifier to such a debate is that they need to have visible abs. I have no tolerance toward the opinion of a flabby university nutritionist.

Anyway, good evening.

There should a white label beef delivery company. Like Omaha Steaks, but for bitcoin influencers to create their own brand. Bitstein’s Beef, Saifedean’s Steak, etc.

Very well said. Healthy beef with whole foods and good oils with exercise and positive thinking is a great foundation.

Same experience with a similar background. I think seeing how broken and corrupt the mainstream medicine/nutrition space is when it comes to food made it easier for me to see the same when it came to money, so bitcoin was a no brainer

I’m a physician, and I agree with your statement that most doctors are shitty at nutrition. None of my nutrition practices were learned during my formal training. And there’s so much misinformation out there that it’s hard to get to the truth about nutrition. Appreciate your post.

Agreed on the health benefit of naturally and healthily raised beef. However, I am curious if you've compared the cost ratio to equally well raised pastured eggs. I view eggs as one of the healthiest things you can eat, and when sourced direct from farm can be very cheap. e.g. found a local goat ...

well i don't have abs ... but i did use to bench 400 lbs in college while also being able to do 30 chin ups without slowing down ( 20 years ago ) my opinion ( based on interest in weight loss since i was a fat kid in kindergarten ) is that grass fed beef is a solid BASE for a diet, but you need org...

Hey Lyn I’m an M.D. and fully agree with you on this one! Grass fed 🥩 has more omega-3, grain fed 🥩 has more omega-6 that promotes inflammation. Just to say one aspect of it!

I think about this often. They’re not all equal. Thermic effects, glycemic index, etc. so many factors. I’ve trained a looooong time. Never in my life have I met someone who’s obese because they ate too many apples. For a generally sedentary person, I think lower carb diets are great. But i...

I’m not much to debate but I like eating vegetarian food mostly. However when I’m out of the house in a night out I’ll eat most meat except beef due to my beliefs in Hinduism. It’s my personal preference so I don’t subject others to it.

Proof of work. I’m exceptionally active, yoga at the core, started doing triathalons etc…. Totally agree w grass fed beef. I like pinnacle farm ny strips myself, 100 percent grass fed, open pasture from aussie.. have a nutty almost dry aged flavour… love this post, love this aspect of you. h...

What I don't understand is why there are no restaurants or eateries that serve real food. If your traveling life is tough. Going to a burger joint and asking for patties is fine but hardly cultured. Feel a bit like a barbarian.

Well except just because you're not seeing and paying the environmental price on the label, that doesn't translate not existing. We're collectively suffering from many many billions in damages. Combining that w/ red meat consumption health implications, you might find the cost is not low, it's too ...

I like pork, cheese etc. but to get that quality is like $14+/lb. I can get a half of a grass finished cow for $7/lb. Nutrient dense, versatile and tastes good. I agree that it’s the best bang for the buck. Easier to source too. People looking endlessly for pasture raised pork with organic feed ...

Oh you're going to have to stop talking like this. I'll never hear the end of it if I join the Lyn Alden fanclub. I found Bitcoin via the carnivore/beef rabbit hole. I listened to Shawn Baker's HPO pod episode with Saifedean & Bitstein. That was enough to later figure out that I could use bitcoin t...

Grass feed beef certainly isn’t cheap in this part of the world… appreciate the info though. I tend to stick to whole foods as much as possible and now fast when I’m travelling rather than eat bad foods out of convenience.

Same here, reading a lot about nutrition for a decade now and if I had to choose only 2 foods it could be grass-fed ground beef and fresh organic eggs. Being unemployed right now, 1st one isn't in my range price tho.

This is why the cheeseburger is apex nutrition. Optimal balance of macronutrients, plus vitamins and minerals in the toppings.

Talking about Nutrient-to-cost ratio is one of my favorite topics during dinner with the kids. It is a topic that serves as a counter-narrative for what children "learn" at school about health, nutrition, economy, sustainability, ecological and media.

Calories over cost, dog food is pretty high. Realistically though, flour is hard to beat.
