1) What was your personal experience with gaining muscle while eating Raw Food?

I feel that it is easier to gain muscles on a raw food diet. I feel much lighter and more energized, and therefor it is easier to exercise. I reduced the amount of fat at my body and the muscles can be seen much more easily. Also being raw helps me to feel so healthy and good, that this psychological component is helping me as well.

2) In what ways does eating Raw Food make it easier for people to gain muscle?

Your body does not need so much energy for the digestion process, and can concentrate more on building muscle and exercise.
There are the best protein sources in Hemp, flax and sesame, with a good balance of Omega 3,6 and 9 for maximum absorbtion rate. These high quality proteins help to build muscles and are very efficient!

3) What are some Raw Food ways people can tweak their diet, to have an even easier time gaining muscle?

Have hemp smoothies and green veggie juices. (This is what I do!) A balanced raw food diet. Fully ripe tropical fruits, lots of dark green leave veggies (wild edibles!), sprouts, superfood (Goji, hemp, coconut, maca,..), and good fat sources like Avocado, Coconut, raw olives.

4) Have you created any resources (books, DVDs, articles, etc) that may be helpful for those who want to gain muscle on a Raw Food diet? Are there any resources you would recommend?
