We have all been confused by what we should and should not eat. This is a touchy subject for some people, and there are a lot of opinions on how we are supposed to eat.
For so many years I followed the gym diet, the bulk up diet. Milk, pasta, chicken, weight gain shakes, and a whole lot of meat. Lifted hard, gained a lot of weight got strong and got a lot of stretch marks.
For years I carried around almost 100 extra pounds on a 5'7 inch frame, this is not good and it was self induced. Over the years I found that I was slowly killing myself by the way my body felt after years of heavy lifting and working all my life on a trucking company loading dock I was always sore and always had an injury.
10 years ago I switched gears and I changed my life by changing the way I ate.
And this was a dramatic change. I lost 85 lbs in 5 months. And I'm only 10 lbs heavier then I was in high school.
Today about 99% of the food I eat is raw. I no longer eat dairy products and haven't for a while and the benefits of no dairy has been great by it's self.
I eat very little meat or chicken. And I haven't had any alcohol in over 13 years. And I drink at least 1 gallon of water a day "at least"
My goal is to turn back the clock. To stay as young as possible for as long as possible. We have one body and we should do whatever it takes to keep it as healthy and as fit as possible.
I can do things I couldn't do before and I'm stronger then ever. I will continue to live this way because it feels great. If you eat as natural as possible and use bodyweight training and isometric types of training your body will reap great rewards.
Just to let everyone know that I'm not some 20 year old I'm actually a Grandfather, I don't get sick, and I still embarrass 20 year old kids.
Try this body thrasher:
Sprint for 1 minute- bear crawl for 1 minute – sprint 1 minute- bear crawl
1 minute.
Rest 2 minutes.

I am a 90% to 100% raw most days. I have had my 80% days. Great to hear from another person who follows the raw food diet. While I am a raw food vegan, I know how much better I feel just by eating fresh daily. When I first went raw, I lost 25 pounds in 3 weeks. It happens fast but you still look so good. No hanging skin. And lots of energy. Totally, I have lost nearly 80 pounds. Just joined your fan club.
