My main objective in posting this info about vegan and raw vegan athletes, is to dispel the myth that vegans can't get enough protein. If even raw vegans can build huge muscle bulk, then getting enough protein on a vegetarian (with eggs and/or dairy) diet is ridiculously easy.
I see. Well, of course that is alright.
Still, a question remains in my head: what is body building in relation to energetic principles?
(And I recognize that this idea is offtopic in this thread, or side-topic, but since it brought the "issue" up in my head thanks to this thread, it might still have a place in it
)Because to me, a body builder who just builds up a lot of muscle through hard work prepares the body for something that is never going to happen in the first place. The best fighters, the biggest hunters sometimes luck that amount of readiness to combat and that amount of excess kinetic capability. It is considered an imbalance as far as the body structure is concerned in my eyes. My view might be flawed in this, of course - but to lead my point of view further, my only question remains: if we eat clearer and clearer foods, what ideas to those foods represent?
Of course, the answer might very well just be this: "eating this way or another does not mean that you embrace everything that comes with the food and what it represents. It is just a choice". I consider what the shaolins do to their bodies a little bit biased towards self-perfection, but I bet they do not eat up more excess muscle than what is really needed
At one point the focus has to turn to the mind, does it not? (//Edit: and feel free to ignore this if you feel like it does not fit the theme of the topic. Maybe we can open a new thread on it, I do not know. But maybe it fits after all.)
