2. Advantages of Eating Grass-Fed Beef
in the Paleo Diet
The CrossFit Norwalk, Connecticut, fitness center
advocates the popular Paleo Diet. It emphasizes beef,
fish, unprocessed foods, vegetables, and fruits. Dieters
must limit the consumption of refined sugars, grains,
and dairy. In particular, the Paleo Diet supports grass-
fed beef. The cows feed from a grassy field, not from a
fattening diet of grains and hormones. Promoters of
grass-fed beef say the meat from these animals is richer
in healthy omega-3 fatty acids and contains less
saturated fat. Lean, grass-fed meat contains fewer
calories, so it's a good choice for Paleo dieters at
CrossFit Norwalk. In fact, compared to grain-fed beef,
grass-fed beef contains about 100 fewer calories in a
steak of similar size.

in the Paleo Diet
Another benefit of grass-fed meat is that it contains an
abundance of omega-3. Studies show that this fatty acid
reduces inflammation and benefits the heart and brain.
Since the body does not naturally make omega-3,
CrossFit Norwalk encourages its clients to obtain it from
food.
