I can agree with that a quick fix is just that, quick. Bodybuilding is a process. If you want it to last, you make it your number one priority, naturally.
``People must conclusively decide that they want to gain strength and weight and make it their number one priority. People want a quick fix. They want to gain weight and muscle now, today, yesterday! There is no magic pill...only a magic process. The power of mind is incredible. If you truly know in your mind that you can accomplish a goal, you can do it; if you think you can't build strength and muscle, then you can't.''
He has proven it is possible to gain muscle weight on a raw food diet. He says all it takes is determination. It is hard for me to imagine a bodybuilder eating raw food. Most raw food eaters, like my chiropractor, are not big with muscles. Arlin swears that a raw food diet can build muscle. ``Whether you want to look like a raw version of Arnold Schwarzenegger or you just want a slim, muscular body capable of endless energy and stamina.''
But Arlin`s approach to bodybuilding is appealing. It is natural. For obvious reasons, it is better for your body in the long run. I am not a raw foodie. I eat cooked food, so I can`t agree with him on some issues, such as unnatural substances build the muscle fast. Raw food builds the body slowly.
He believes building a body with cooked-food and other unnatural substances will eventually atrophy and "deflate'' the body. Muscles built on raw-food nutrition last much longer, because they are naturally built.
Arlin told Living and Raw Food that he increased his massive strength with raw food. As a result, he needs very little time to rest between sets.
Of course, the change in Arlin`s body wasn`t as fast as hormone enhancers. He went through a mild detoxification and shed ``51 unhealthy pounds.''
He has since gained back ``30 pounds of healthy solid muscle'' and argues that gorillas have the strength equivalent to bench pressing 4,000 pounds -- that's 40 times stronger than the average man.
Gorillas eat 100% raw plant foods. He also points out that all the largest and strongest mammals on Earth are 100% raw plant eaters. He lists the gorilla, the elephant, the hippopotamus, the giraffe, the rhinoceros and so forth. If I think about, I have seen some bodybuilders that do look like gorillas.
I came across an interview with a raw food bodybuilder, Arlin. He also wrote a book entitled Raw Power! It`s the only book about building strength and muscles naturally the raw way. I like that idea. Raw Power! is about bodybuilding naturally with a 100% natural diet. The idea in the book is that your body can stay fit, strong, healthy and energetic with a raw food diet.
Like I said earlier, my chiropractor swears by eating raw food. He says it keeps him happy and healthy. He does look healthy and seems happy. I personally like to eat cooked food every now and then. I can`t image eating only raw food. I`d miss out on holiday meals and trips to the frozen yogurt shop.
