drink water before eating - doesn't that hinder with the breakdown of food? The stomach functions in a primarily an acid environment which is used to breakdown your food further. Drinking more water before and during this time can nutrilize and hinder the chemicals which help breakdown your food. Thus taking longer to breakdown and longer for you to reap its benefits.

Thanks for the link. but theres hardly anything on that website then him promoting his dated info product. I haven't found anywhere that comprehensively explains a vegan or raw bodybuilding diet. It terms of the macronutrient ratios, amount of carbs needed, types of carbs (starchy, complex etc) and where to source them in raw foods. Bit dissapointing for an area that supposedly provides so much benefit to people and is said to be the best possible diet for humans yet there is hardly any resources for one to find out more from.

Hi guys, I've just signed up to request some help after browsing these forums as a guest and not finding what I'm looking for. I can't find (on the internet in general) any credible info on raw food diets and bodybuilding. I've found many 'before and after' photos and many website encouraging rawfood diets. But nothing really on bodybuilding and raw diets. I found this: http://www.welikeitraw.com/rawfood/2006/11/hello_wlir_hi_t.html But it doesn't state his diet, workout plan or anything. There are massive resources out there when it comes to traditional non-raw bodybuilding (bodybuilding.com), but hardly a thing on rawfood-bodybuilding. I've been working out for almost a year now, and I'd like to switch to a raw-diet due to health benefits. Can anyone point me to some articles and resources regarding this?
