  • Cool, so we can eat fruit and get all the amino acids we need? That's all well and good except for the fact that fruit doesn't contain the full spectrum of amino acids. Protein synthesis is an all or none process... without the full spectrum of AA's in the body, the body cannot synthesize protein structures such as skeletal muscle.

  • you don't have much muscle

see all

  • @nomuscleasianman what are you comparing him to? As a reference, watch a movie 1970's and previous,look at the people, are they fat...massive in muscular bulk? lol

    People then and previous were generally quite slim..People now are on the extreme end of either fat ass or an unhealthy muscle head who claims to be healthy. I know, I used to be one of those people..trust me, not healthy. There is a reason why meat is a direct link to bowel cancer, and protein is hard on kidneys etc

  • @arcanequake

    he's not talking about fruit specifically

  • @nomuscleasianman Compared to a bodybuilder or an NFL player for instance, no he doesn't. But as a raw foodist he's definitely more "jacked" than many others. For whatever reason many vegans raw or otherwise seem to do nothing but running and do absolutely no resistance training of any kind. Tim is the exception. So compared to the rest of his peers he looks a million times better.

  • @arcanequake All raw plant foods have all 8 essential amino acids, so I don't know what you are going on about. Do your research. High protein/high meat diets leads to colon cancer and kidney failure.

  • this guy makes sence we have been duped by the protein myth. i will chuck my protein shakes away and just eat vegies and fruits and greens

  • Create a problem, sell the cure.

  • @smoothMousePad

    Only broscientists "avoid walking in fear of burning muscle," no real bodybuilder is that naive. The only thing deterring the non-posers from cardio is preference.

  • I hope this talk/rant was to runners, becouse if your telling anyone else you got muscle, it's delusion

  • Notsureifsrs....... I am now 110% dumber after watching this video.

  • very good video, thank you for uploading the right information!
