Sam,

I've always been thin.  About a year ago I weighed 130, down from 135-`40 (I'm
5'8").  After going veg, and then all raw veg I dropped down to 107, then went
up to 112 or so, then dropped back down to 107 again at which point my body
craved meat, so I started eating fish and immediately my calves began to grow.
In the past several weeks I'm back up to 112 or so, eating raw eggs, raw fish,
and occasional raw buffalo.  My muscles are doubled in size!  But I'm still
twenty pounds under my old weight, so we'll have to see what happens.  It's
just the beginning.
