My senses tell me that us humans are not meant to use animals lives, milk(and all its derivatives) was meant by nature for calves only, eggs are the foetuses of chicken. It can only be admissable during a period of emergency (like the ice ages) for survival purposes but even then it changed our taste buds so we could not tell what what was good anymore and it was the beginning of degenerescence and even decadence. It developped wrong things in the brain, which affected all sorts of things in us like our hormones, which have have an effect on aggressivity, creativity etc, and we need to be vegan rawfoodist for a long time before we can be right again, so the quicker going raw we start the better ! For ourselves and for the future of the planet which is not doing very well, our diet being the main cause of all the trouble.

Overnight, in steps, mono fruit? Thanks for your blog! Hi Swayze,

Could you do a blog on your transition to low-fat raw? i.e. How did you do it? Overnight, in steps, mono fruit?

Thanks for your blog!

The ideal is always organic and locally grown produce. Of course, life is full of compromises. In a choice between commercially grown fruit and an organic cooked meal, I choose the fruit every time.

In other words, the only way to build muscle is to BUILD MUSCLE! ;) Food cannot do that for you. As long as you are getting enough calories, you are getting enough protein. With that said, you will not be as big as cooked food bodybuilders if you are eating raw. These people are often holding excess water and fat from their diets, not muscle. Here is a link to Charlie Abel's YouTube Channel. He is a low fat raw bodybuilder. He used to have a website all about raw foods and exercise, but it is no longer active: http://www.youtube.com/user/charliesgym Muscular hypertrophy comes from applying some sort of resistance to a particular muscle.
