Teen bodybuilding is growing at an alarming rate, as enthusiastic teens hit the gym every night of the week. I don’t blame them. Teen bodybuilding is one of the most effective ways to boost a skinny guys self-confidence and self-image.

Day 73 of My Transformation Journey:
Okay, so overall I’m feeling about 100% recovered from whatever was trying to invade my body. Thanks to a strong immune system my body has triumphed!
Although… I guess I should have eased back into eating a little bit after fasting. Not sure what was going down but my stomach was producing some nasty flatulence and I left the gas mask at home! 
It was pretty bad and the IT guy had to ask if I was alright in there! haha…
Anyway, I decided to skip a couple meals towards the end of the day. I’m also going to take the rest of this week off and let my body recover from the training I’ve been doing. I may do some light working out but nothing too crazy. I’ll come back next week stronger and ready to go.
Plus, I’ll work out some nutritional stuff so I can be sure to get in more calories. I plan to adopt more of a plant-based nutritional strategy and transition over to that very soon. The more I read and study nutrition the more I realize that humans are basically herbivores like are primate ancestors. In other words we did not evolve to eat meat.
We’re not omnivores as most have been lead to believe… andwe’re certainly not carnivores. I can’t believe some people actually think humans are carnivores. Some people just make me smile! 
I will be posting a blog about this soon!
