Some raw foodists do need a bit more fat than others, etc. It sounds like you

might be one of them. There are plenty of raw foodists who DO look like skin and

bones. I think it's wierd to suggest that we should not look at that with

concern, but " instead question our idea of skinnyness " . You really shouldn't see

people's ribs, etc. I cannot go out and see a horse's ribs or any other lean

animal in nature. It is natural to question this. Some of my customers are

weight lifters, they do lots of superfoods and some heavier raw. It grounds them

and keeps the weight on that they like. They feel wonderful and have reversed

health challenges eating some of these gourmet foods with their salads, etc.

They are great examples of health, muscular and fit and positive and healthy,

they are not skeletal.

It sounds like you've misinterpreted what was written: I think the

distinction was being made between fat and weight - muscle weighs more than

fat because it's a more dense tissue, and it contains more water. " Models "

who have no muscle, along with no fat, look like walking skeletons;

weightlifters tend to have a lot of muscle, so weigh much more than the

average person of the same size, who has more fat.

On the contrary, we should indeed see some ribs ... as we do on all the

other large land mammals (other than hibernatory ones). I can see the

horse's ribs (if the horse lives in Nature and not on a farm), the

elephant's, the lion's and the tiger's ribs, all of them. That is normal,

that is healthful.

 

We build lean tissue through activity, not through eating. And any excess

fat just holds us back in life. See the long XPOST I published earlier

today.

 

There is a big difference between health and fitness. The top performing

athletes NEVER have even an ounce of extra fat on them, in any sport, ever.

The athletes you describe could likely improve their performance greatly

with the right information ... I've seen this happen often and consistently

enough to depend on it being so. And if you've never tried that path, then

you just don't know, Erica.

 

Best,
