I want to thank everyone who has participated in this RawFoodTalk.com forum. There have been some amazing exchanges here and so many words of wisdom spoken. But its time for me to close this board. I am moving on to new ventures and feel that its time for me to let this go. A forum of this size takes loads of money, time and energy. I have not been keeping up with the forum upgrades, the spam problems, etc…. which is resulting in many disgruntled emails and people calling the office daily. I’m sorry to disappoint the many of you who have spent your time and wonderful words of help and inspiration here. I hope that you have all benefited from this board and that it has helped you on your path to optimal health. I know many of you have made lasting friendships here as well. I will leave this board up for a month of so, so that you may copy what you need and any information you would like to save.
Thank you for being part of the RawFoodTalk.com community! It’s been a wonderful ride! I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next for all of you and of course, you can keep up with my adventures through my blog, Facebook and twitter. I am continuing my certification trainings and there will be some exciting new classes, events and projects coming into fruition in the near future!
I am lifting weight now and i like to knw how i can gain more muscle, first of all i have never lifted heavy weights in my life only done push ups and exercises that doesn't involve weights.
I really want to build my body and gain some muscle, i am currently on raw food how can i gain muscle? i am in gym 3 days a week... i am thin but my muscle don't seem to get big its been a month!
What foods can i try to get better of protein and maximum muscle gain
Protein is highest in leafy greens and broccoli, and they should be part of a balanced diet. Personally, I don't think protein is as much of an issue as it is to make sure you get enough calories, especially if you are thin, working out and wanting to put on muscle.
Here's a video I found from a raw vegan body builder, Charlie Abel, that you might like to watch.
I'd rather eat vegan and look like a tree than eat cow and look like a pig.
