Because your body indeed recovers faster when all amino acids are abundantly present compared when less well present. Of course one should only supplement when required, but its easier to simply recommend supplementation for everybody... So for someone working out on the Wai diet, would you recomme...

And the amount of bacteria present in the stomachs of ruminant species is MUCH higher than the amount present in human beings, so the quantities of B12 synthetized by friendly-microflora aren´t obviously the same, at all.

After 36 hours from my high protein day I am noting my nose more normal, not so swollen! My abs are recovering their definition too!

Yeah Avalon, this is interesting. Everybody should figure out how much protein to eat. There are very active people who say that if they eat less than 1 gram per pound of BW (a high protein intake) they lose muscle mass.

RRM wrote: Depending on the protein intake, that may take up to 2 days (of not consuming additional fish/eggs). 2 days consuming NO fish/eggs? Not overeating of sugars in the sense of percentage of energy intake, but only when energy intake is frequently not in accordance with energy requirements. ...

RRM, how many hours it takes to your body to release the water retained after your high protein meal, based on your own experience?

RRM wrote: The Wai diet IS a high carb diet, and it eliminates water retention. It may be relatively high in carbs, but they are not overeaten as in the SAD. Maybe overeating causing hyperinsulinemia is the key. Sometimes its high in refined sugars as well, and still eliminates water retention. Of ...

The photo on the bottom of this page is from Anthony Colpo, independant researcher and author of The Great Cholesterol Con. This guy eats in excess of 200 grams of protein (more than 1.2 kilograms of meat per day). I don´t think he is retaining water.

RRM wrote: But if I consume carbs WHEN my body (muscles) need the energy, liver glycogen will be broken down to keep blood-glucose level up, right? No, then ingested carbs will keep the blood sugar level up, as they will be converted to liver- and muscle-glycogen as well. That´s true, of course. I ...

If I remember well, insulin affects sodium excretion. So, another and more likely possibility than starches is the hyperinsulinemia effect provoked by ingesting too much carbs when people don´t need the energy. As that happens only with refined crap, not fruit, that´s why people lose water when elim...
