I believe in the benefits of raw foods, but I fail to see them as adequate for meeting
everyone's needs. He also offers no sources for his claims, other than telling ME to do the research to find his supporting evidence.
He also contradicts himself by claiming that raw fruits and vegetables contain "enzymes" that ARE complete amino acid sources completely adequate for supporting anabolism. He then says that science can only look at foods in their cooked state and is unable to examine their chemical properties in the raw state.
Well, then where the hell is his proof!!
How can he make such bold claims about raw foods when science lacks the technology to completely examine them? What, is he Superman? Does he use his "Spidey-senses" to look at raw food where laboratories fail on the molecular level?
Finally, he looks lean. Lean people appear muscular because their musculature is more visible; think Bruce Lee, who did have muscle and excellent conditioning, but by bodybuilding standards, was considered skinny. I suspect that this guy
does possess a bit more muscle than his hypothetical sedentary counterpart would have, but by bodybuilding standards, he's small.
I sincerely doubt he's capable of building any substantial amount of muscle on the diet he claims to eat.
This guy also doesn't come across well insofar as expressing his ideas. Refer to a statement made at the beginning of the clip in which he claims he got his "muscle" by "doing nothing." I find very little credibility in anything he says from the standpoint of scientific and/or anecdotal evidence.
Essentially, people interested in building any appreciable amount of muscle will need to eat more than this guy is suggesting we need.
