you are cracking me up lol.
In any event, I think I could have read this guys book in the past as I have read much about the Ketogenic diet in the past.
My findings were, that while it does seem to work well for many, many people dont efficiently do gluconeogenesis which will leave them tired, weak, and quite literally stupid. Those people absolutely need some carbs to keep a positive level in their livers.
So, as with anything these days, diet does depend on ones operating system.
As for any "magic" raw meat has, it doesnt. It is simply materials that are more bio available and hence serve to better supply the body with what it needs. The body has a remarkable ability to heal itself given the proper raw materials. Think of it as the debate between one protein powder being more bioavailable for muscle growth.
I dont think raw meat will evolve me into some freeaky white light capable of infinite wisdom and telekinises.
Quad,
that doesnt suprise me as most lifters follow the status quo of eating. Most of the people I have met I didnt meat in gyms. I either met them through the farmer I go to or some other way. But they are out there lol.
I know that Vince Gironda advocated a diet very similar to what I do and he trained champs like crazy. You can even call the guy that now promotes Vinces books etc. (Ron was his name if I recall) He follows Vinces diet advice and eats a low carb raw meat diet. (You can buy any of Vince workout books or diet books via this guy at pretty good prices. To my knowledge this is the only place you can buy Vinces stuff these days. I have the number around here somewhere if anyone has ever been interested in Vinces stuff.)
Vince did advocate liver pills which I dont agree with. If one is gonna eat liver, which IS good for some people, I would most definitely make sure its grass fed no matter how ya eat it, cookd or raw. Commercial cow livers are scary with toxins.
The point is that there were plenty of bodybuilders at one point eating raw foods and low carb diets with great success. However, as with most everything, people have set aside healthy foods for crap loaded with MSG, hydronated oils, chemicals, wierd hormones, pestisides, etc. Heck people would be far healthier, even if not eating raw, if they just ate natural unprocessed foods without all the crap.
As I said before, a natural diet would also be low in carbs because almost all carbs need to be processed. (and are only seasonally available) People would then be stuck just eating fruit/veggies for the most part when in season and thems are good eating lol.
God Bless

I knew what you were saying. Man, Vince Gironda...one of the greatest, if not THE greatest luminary bodybuilding has ever had. He was very very ripped in his prime, and drug free too. I know he trained like all of the champs, and some Hollywood stars. And he was way ahead of his time not only with his raw-meat diet, but with the reccomendation of eating glandulars(did he also advocate getting raw sources, I dunno, can`t find his books where I live), getting kelp tabs and wheat germ oil. And his training was also very very advanced, he could alter the shape of the muscles being worked, which is a secret lost to us nowadays.
About Lyle's book on ketogenic diets...you have to realize the man has to make a living, if he were to expose the whole truth about the dark con of man being enacted by Big Pharmas and misled doctors, they would do their best to discredit him, and you know that they have the power required to surround him in a barrier of lies that would ruin his life. So his books are written in code, only those like you, who know their stuff, can really understand the true message. He does expose most of the mantra of raw-based life on his board, that`s why you have to register there, so he can be sure you`re not an imposteur trying to take advantage of his kindness. You`ll see for yourself, as you are certainly intelligent enough to handle yourself.
And I really wasn`t being facetious, I`m very very interested in this raw meat stuff, I guess I was simply too entrenched in pseudo-science and not listening to my body. What`s detox, how do I do that?Do I need it in order to grow slabs of muscle without turning into a tub of lard?Is there some reccomended reading on the subject?
Dan...not really, I just wanna twist again(that was and still is a great tune).
