I think I was just not getting my proper fat-to-fruit ratio. I upped my fat-per-meal ratio as well as lowered my fruit-per-meal ratio the teensiest bit today (and increased my meal frequency without altering total consumption).

Feel completely different. Not an ounce of fatigue!

Fatigue question/observation

I am either drawing parallels where none exist, or simply noticing something about this way-of-eating. Each time I eat too much at one sitting (has only happened twice during the last week), I become very drowsy and fatigued. In both instances I was definitely not listening to my body in regard to w...

I had an epiphany at 3 am. To succeed on this plan (regardless of your goals in doing so) you have to eat only when physically hungry. Your body will tell you when it is truly needing replenishment. Conscious eating. The fruit test really sent it home to me that emotional hunger (or 'junkie hunger' ...

I'm back, started this last year

I had so much success last year eating this way. I don't have acne, and only very minor cellulite issues. What initially attracted me to this way of eating is its simplicity. What kept me interested was how delicious the food tasted and how much energy I had. It's hot here in Los Angeles just before...

Live and learn. I had a corn tortilla with chicken and broke out the next day. I don't even get acne as a rule! Can't believe it, but it seems to be true. Back on plan now and skin is healed up. No coffee today. Lots of energy anyway, but one miserable headache along with a wee bit of spaciness. Thi...

I love the idea of raw, healthy food but was always somewhat dismayed (before coming across this website) about all of the preparation involved. It always seemed like people went to a lot of trouble to make raw food taste like cooked. For instance, there are burgers and tacos etc. that are dehydrate...

Progress Update

Everything is going GREAT with my new way of eating. Even keeled energy throughout the day, deep sleep and a general glow about me. Acne is luckily not a problem for me except for the odd spot the week before my cycle. Nope, not this time. My skin is flawless. Even my dark undereye circles are light...

All well here. So far, so great. Just wondering if this is normal: I enjoy eating my sashimi with avocado (delish) but get a lot more energy from avocado mixed with a raw egg yolk. In fact, I have to be careful because if I eat too many yolks I feel (for want of a better term) intensely wired (as th...

Well, I've learned that taking food when my body asks for it is really important. I can't remember ever feeling better in terms of even-keeled energy throughout the day. No headaches today, tons of energy, great attitude, no hunger and I am down from 4 cups of coffee a day to 1/2 of a cup! I intend ...

I sort of started the diet today by default. My boyfriend left for work this morning and my car keys were in his car so I was unable to meet friends for breakfast (my last day of non-Wai eating). Too bloody hot to walk anywhere so I decided it was my day to relax and not workout or flit about with f...

All set with food for the week. Looks like I am going to have to wait for my unshelled raw Brazil nuts to be shipped. You'd think that there would be a store somewhere in Los Angeles that would carry them, but it doesn't appear so. Just a little confused about what to sub for the nuts until they arr...

Thanks for the welcome! Currently, I eat what most would consider a fairly clean diet. Haven't had a soda since I was a kid, no red meat, lots of fish (sashimi and I go way back), organic chicken, veggies and fruits. My vice is corn tortillas and since I crave them so much I probably have some weird...

Starting Monday...and hello to all of you

Hi All! I've wanted to start this for some time but had some problems with logging in to the forum (since cleared up). So, Monday is it for me! No acne issues here. Very slight cellulite that I would love to see gone as well as undereye circles. Something tells me this way of eating will get rid of ...
