Once in a great while I get an unquenchable craving for a big &#8216;ole grilled hamburger, or I&#8217;ll nibble on a few bites of someone&#8217;s steak at a cook-out, but it doesn&#8217;t take long for me to regret it. I don&#8217;t know any better way to describe it than to say I just feel icky inside after I&#8217;ve eaten beef- I can taste and almost feel the grease in my body.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"la cense beef\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/la-cense-beef.gif\" alt=\"la cense beef\" width=\"120\" height=\"60\" align=\"left\" \/>Until last night. All of my <a title=\"Food Finds\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/category\/food-finds\/\" target=\"_blank\">Food Finds<\/a> are always healthy, unexpected finds I&#8217;ve made myself at the grocery store. I&#8217;ll be honest, this company contacted me and offered to send the product to taste. I was skeptical because it&#8217;s a mail-order beef company, and my aforementioned feelings about beef. As I learned more about the La Cense Beef company, I was anxious to try it, and for nothing less, my husband would be thrilled to throw a burger on the grill again.<\/p>\n<p>I would tell if you if I didn&#8217;t like it- but it was quite possibly the best hamburger I&#8217;ve ever had. La Cense Beef is raised on the range in Montana and has a laundry list of admirable qualities like:<br \/>\n&#8211; Antibiotic-free cattle<br \/>\n&#8211; Hormone-free cattle<br \/>\n&#8211; Grass-fed, not grain-fed, which influences a cleaner, more natural taste in the beef<br \/>\n&#8211; No pesticides<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>We immediately noticed the flavor of this Black Angus Steak Burger was very different<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"black angus steak burger\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/black-angus-steak-burger.jpg\" alt=\"black angus steak burger\" width=\"256\" height=\"175\" align=\"right\" \/> from the beef we&#8217;re used to eating. The other thing I noticed was that it was so juicy and so tender. Best of all, I never once felt or tasted the grease. It was a clean, delicious flavor.<\/p>\n<p>La Cense Beef is also lower in calories and fat than regular beef, and it offers a good source of Omega-3 Fatty Acid. See how this 6oz. burger compares with a standard 6oz. Black Angus Steak Burger.<br \/>\nLa Cense \/ Standard<br \/>\nCalories: 290 \/ 500<br \/>\nFat: 18g \/ 43.2g<br \/>\nSat. Fat: 9g \/ 17g<br \/>\nCholesterol: 90mg \/ 131mg<br \/>\nProtein: 32g \/ 28mg<br \/>\nWW Points: 7 \/ 14<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll also note that I was very impressed by the shipping and packaging. It was sent FedEx 2 Day and the inside of that cooler might have been colder than my own freezer. The meat was frozen solid (we also received a New York Strip that I look forward to trying). The entire thing was beautifully wrapped and presented with recipes from La Cense&#8217;s master chef, a product catalog and detailed instructions on how best to prepare the beef.<\/p>\n<p>La Cense is definitely worth a try if you&#8217;re looking for a healthier way to still enjoy beef.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In my recent quest to shape up the way we eat at home, I&#8217;ve pretty much cut-out red meat from our diet.
