And doesn't have food colorings and artificial flavors besides. It's funny - on other so-called health sites, they talk about sucrose, table sugar or sugar used in manufacturing as a sweetener, as the worst food you can eat whereas here we are debating the merits of eating sugar as a filler-in when ...

Milk and increase in height - myth?

I live and work in Korea. I work for a public elementary school. The children are given a carton of milk a day with their lunch, and so are the teachers actually. I've heard from many people that because more people in Korea are drinking milk they are getting taller. It's true people are getting tal...

I really want to get back into regular walking. I'm thinking of joining a gym near my home and using the treadmill there.

Flat stomach, clear skin and good digestion

After 3 weeks on Wai's I can report some good results. And this is with a little bit of cheating too: eating too much munch food at times. I have found making juice and taking sips of it makes all the difference as for some reason the bulkiness that I feel after eating whole fruit (I didn't drink as...

No, I think that's a good analogy. I think I should be more robotic about it so that it becomes a habit, natural and I don't even think about it. I see that most people make about 1.5 liters of orange juice to drink, my 1 liter bottle of juice is finished very quickly - I am not making enough juice ...

Losing weight is "counterintuitive"

From browsing the "Weight Loss" and "How to Gain Weight" sections, I have come to the conclusion that losing weight is counterintuitive for the majority of us. We've all been brought up to believe that we should eat less than we want to ie. deprive ourselves, in order to lose weight, and we don't qu...

Juice with no oil

How long can you have juice with no oil? I had juice with oil until midday and then until 530pm I had juice on its own. I was feeling tired when I got home today, low in energy. Is that because I went too long without fats? Should you consume fats with every meal to prevent an insulin spike and subs...

Kitchen logistics streamlined

I have found since I have been juicing everything, the kitchen logistics are really excellent. I dumped everything from my fridge just now and my fridge is almost empty and looks clean and is easy to clean. All my produce is in 4 plastic boxes sitting on the kitchen table. I can at a glance see what...

Juice extractor makes a difference for me in losing weight

I bought a juice extractor the other day thinking I want to go on a juice fast and I think I've found a way to stick to Wai's diet at last!!!! I am drinking homemade juices and I am starting to lose weight and I feel fantastic! I am no longer obsessing about munch food all the time. In fact I am qui...

Lack of fiber in juice

I have started juicing everything and it's going great. I just have one concern, I notice when I juice that the fiber (pulp) is being separated from the liquid. I discard the fiber. Isn't that unnatural from nature's point of view? Primitive man did not have a juice extractor and presumably ate the ...

Thanks for the advice, libellula. I am going to stay on Wai's diet a bit longer until my skin is really clear and then try that suggestion. It would be really great to get rid of blackheads once and for all.

I think I am starting to get the hang of eating when hungry. I have always thought subconsciously the opposite. I usually wait until I get home so that I can eat more 'healthily' and by the time I reach home I am ravenous and eat an enormous meal (albeit relatively 'healthy') and then have to eat mo...

How does one get rid of blackheads?

Does Wai's diet get rid of blackheads? I don't suffer from acne but I have these blackheads on my nose. They are very prominent in this location and are quite unsightly. Makes my nose look like a strawberry with black seeds close up --- ugh! I've had them for a long time, since my 20s and I have nev...

Makes sense. I'll find candy that has the least amount of additives. Experiment a little. I bought a bag of hard boiled candy and ate one or two when I had been on long train trips or in between meals at work when I've run out of food. They were the plain kind made from sugar, a little flavoring: li...

Probably the Indian food I would say. I've eaten raw yellowtail tuna in Korea and been fine. Restaurants are a bit iffy. It doesn't matter that the restaurant was vegetarian. I had similar - gastro - after eating miso chigae made with fermented soybean paste. I had made the chigae (soup) myself. Was...
