Guest guest Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 Mark, I read in Steve Arlin’s book RAW POWER that he has used the following formulas to “energize his blood, build his body and gain 25+ pounds of healthy muscle weight.” 2-4 coconuts worth of coconut water almost daily. He scoops out the jelly like pulp as a meal or saves it for smoothies or coconut custard. He adds freshly made green juice to the coconut water, which “saturates his body with usable muscle building minerals”. CAPTAIN’s POWERHOUSE In a blender: 1 young coconut (juice and pulp) 1 large avocado 2 handfuls of wild or organic greens A second suggestion he gives is that he advocates eating once or twice a day to gain strength and muscular weight. He says to eat large meals when you eat. He says that raw foodist who eat all day long tend to be thinner ~ the body thinks there is an abundance of food coming so the metabolism speeds up. He says that if you only eat 2 meals the body thinks there is a shortage of food all day so it conserves energy and the metabolism slows way down. He goes on to say, if you eat a large meal before you go to sleep the body is not able to process and assimilate most of the food so they gain weight (admittedly not healthy weight??) Then says, after you return to your desired weight you can return to a more sustainable eating schedule. Just thought I’d pass it along, not sure what I think of all of it. Definitely not for me, as I’d like to lose 15 pounds! J BEV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
