Re: Not getting any muscles...Why?
A diet of meat makes for large muscles, yet they are poorly composed of inferior proteins and less efficent. They are often bloated with fat and water and waste and we are taught that this is the ideal. A refined vegetarian diet makes for more a different type of muscle one that is less stronger efficient muscles one that is more adapted to a healthy lifestyle. Muscles that have more stamina and endurance for instance.
Bodybuilders with their supposedly healthy musculature all go either to fat or to waste when they stop competing. One would hardly recognize them on the street. Their muscles are all for show and not meant to last.
I have much experience with thinly muscled people yogis for example who are much more adapted and able than those with thick musculature. It is all illusion.
Though I have lost some muscle over the past few years no doubt it was inferior composed muscle, as I am more physically capable and incredibly more flexible with more stamina than when I was more densely packed. I have also retained a great deal of my previous weight so while strong and flexible can be soft where I want and hard also where I want.
Different type and quality of muscle altogether. Look at it in a new light and you will appreciate it perhaps.
