I will be the first one to say that this Fruitarian Bodybuilding Athlete Challenge didn’t go as I had hoped. I probably followed a truly fruitarian diet for less than half of the month and I may have exercises even less than that. I took pictures almost every day, but the quality of them got worse and worse after moving out of the Kanekiki Farm and into Gaia Yoga Gardens. Sleeping was the easiest thing, but even with that I struggled on some days. Writing wasn’t so hard at first, but it got more challenging after I moved out of the Kanekiki Farm and into Gaia Yoga Gardens.
Why I Failed My Fruitarian Bodybuilding Athlete Challenge
Part of me feels sad, ashamed and embarrassed that I performed so poorly on this challenge. I only got a handful of days with 5 full stars and way too many days with less than 2 stars. I even got days without a single star! In one hand it seems pathetic, in the other I get to prove how hard this can be if the set and setting isn’t right. The good news is that I have a good base to improve from.
To be fair, neither Kanekiki Farm nor Gaia Yoga Gardens were close to ideal places for this challenge. Mainly because both places lacked and abundance of food. During my last weeks at the Kanekiki Farm there were huge shortages of fruit and the people in charge of bringing fruit to the farm where slacking on their tasks. Gaia Yoga Gardens was getting more fruit regularly but the quality was horrible, seriously, it was depressing.
It is clear that I was doing much better while being at Kanekiki Farm. At least there I was used to the environment and the people, moving to Gaia Yoga Gardens created too much imbalance, especially around food. At Gaia Yoga Gardens there was an unlimited supply of coconuts, some of which were absolutely delicious and impossible for me to resist. There were days when I would eat more than 10 coconuts, it really messed up my flow and digestion. Getting caught up with trying raw animal products threw me off even more.
My Future as a Fruitarian Bodybuilder
Right now I am back in Colorado. I am sorry I didn’t post much in between but it simply didn’t happen. I am eating cooked foods and I feel really crappy. I want to go back to eating raw and fruit based meals but I need a few days to reset and adapt to being back in the mainland. My current goal is to start a new Fruitarian Bodybuilding Challenge on the 15th. I am hoping it will be better than the one I just finished.
Even though I failed this Fruitarian Bodybuilding Athlete Challenge I am glad that I have it a try. The experiences that I went through help me to understand better how to transition to a fruitarian diet and how to stick to it. My failure will lead to my success and my ability to help others transit this path. Now that I am back in Colorado I have some time to review all my experiences, work on my fruitarian books and prepare for the next fruitarian adventure! =D
