Hey steve this is a very interesting experiment you are working on. I've always enjoyed your detailed documentation.
Anyway, my question about your current raw food diet is:
Is that really enough protein?
Maybe its just my background in football in high school, and my ongoing attempt at making my lifestyle more bodybuilding-like. But I've been under the impression for some time that if you want to promote muscle gain you are going to have to eat atleast a gram of a protein per pound of body weight.
Actually, even when I started doing the bodybuilder lifestyle (somewhat, I'm working on getting more committed, it's a very discplined lifestyle that has proven to take time for me to adjust to) and lost 55 pounds last year by eating good and exercising I was scared that 1 gram of protein per pound was maintenance level to try my best to not lose muscle.
So in summary, my question (if you havent already been asked this, that is). Is:
Are you sure that the 30g of protein you are getting today isn't going to cause severe muscle loss?
Aren't resistance training exercises at the gym a waste of time if you don't give your body enough protein to undergo the process of rebuilding the broken down muscles and repair'ing them?
Thx if you get to my msg Steve, I'm a long time fan and doing my best to live consciously - despite being in college.
