This is a quick tip for any readers in the United States who like to travel:
If you have the time, I really recommend trying to follow a four-to-eight week training phase while eating a heavy Anabolic Diet-style menu in South America.
I’m traveling through here for a few months and the food is amazing. I’m buying a pound of grass-fed steak for $2.13 US. I think my local Whole Foods in the USA charged $18 for the same thing. I can find neighbors who sell eggs rich in omega 3s, simply because their chickens eat worms off the ground and nothing else. Cream, butter, everything I need is here, and it’s cheap and high quality.
The best part? If you can get to Ft. Lauderdale, FL (check Kayak.com for flights there) you can fly out from Spirit Airlines for dirt cheap.
I know this isn’t feasible for most of you, but I just wanted to throw the idea out there. Hopefully it’ll inspire someone.

Where in South America are you? That sounds like a great vacation idea.

I’m all over the place.
I actually started in Central America, in Panama. Right now I’m in Colombia.
I’m going to do another eight week cycle (meaning, settling down somewhere and focusing on heavy lifting and heavy eating) likely either in Argentina or Brazil. I’m leaning toward Argentina because their beef is supposedly the best in the world.
As a side note: if you’ve got free time and extra money and you’re from the USA, now is the BEST time to do this. The dollar is at its highest value in comparison to South American currencies, so everything is even cheaper than it normally is. (Hey, I’m going to take advantage of this economy however I can!)
