Re: Green + (fruit, veg.) juices

Had a very helpful consultation with Corinne (long time Wai follower and my "turn on" person) recently and learned, ta-da! that I can stir egg yolks into my juice and not get gas. I was having trouble enjoying my egg yolks. She suggested putting them in my (slow juicer) juices. Said it is only when ...

Green + (fruit, veg.) juices

I recently started juicing with the Omega VRT 350 auger-type juicer, a "slow juicer". Called slow because it turns 80 rpm instead of 2000 rpm like the conventional centrifuge juicers (e.g. Braun, JuiceLady, etc.) I love it! Get a huge energy surge from a green juice (carrot, kale, watermelon, lime, ...

Fix for Stools too soft

Hi Everybody, I am enjoying the Wai diet. Started Sept 1, 2011. I had a lot of trouble with exceedingly soft, loose stools. But, Ta-da! found the solution. I'll cut to the chase: PROBIOTICS. I accidentally discovered that a course of protiotics (AmWay makes a good one, Culturel makes one, many diffe...

Re: Learning to Sense Blood Sugar Levels

P.S. I meant to say this as well: I am starting to conclude that the physical message I've always associated with the meaning, "I've now had sufficient food," is actually the sensation of a FULL GUT! I think I always thought that unless I had that feeling, I hadn't had enough food. Now I am starting...

Learning to Sense Blood Sugar Levels

I've been on the Wai diet since Sept 1, 2011, six and a half months now. It's a blast! My issues have been energy level and a life-long battle against the desire to overeat. It SEEMS as though the latter problem is truly resolved on the diet. Not sure about the energy level, but for sure it isn't wo...

How the Blood Sugar Works

Many of us are confused about How the Blood Sugar Works . RRM suggested we get this topic started. I will start off with what I believe I have learned here, and look forward to you all expanding and correcting that. The body stores energy in 4 "places" or ways: 1) in the liver, 2) in the blood strea...

Re: 3 Months; Mistakes; Health issues

Oh wow! no wonder I was having trouble. Will have to recalculate. I will look up calories in orange juice and calories in olive oil. Then will report back. Many thanks! ...... AND today I was using Spectrum organic EVOO ... 2T (1 oz) in 6 oz OJ and it has given me a very sour stomach. Suspect that's...

Re: 3 Months; Mistakes; Health issues

"RRM we maybe need to have a very good, simple and easy to follow story on the site of how the blood sugar works. People seem to be very confused how the system works. Then we don't have to explain it, because we can just refer to the site." Super idea! Please do. Also, the pleasehelp lady said she...

Re: 3 Months; Mistakes; Health issues

Certainly do not ever have food cravings any more. I have not been eating anything like as frequently as you advise. Unless...

3 Months; Mistakes; Health issues

Hi Guys! This diet is charismatic. I met Corinne at a seminar and "caught the Wai bug". I am 71, 5'4", 133 lbs. Went on the Wai diet because I wanted more energy, and to lose 5 lbs. I was looking at the "Sample Diet", which has only a tiny amount of protein a day. Now I see that people eat loads mor...
