I love the name! But I just can't eat honey. Rather, for some reason, I never liked it. Maybe I could mix some 'sugar' into yolk instead and top with the crushed walnuts??? Can coconut oil be whipped by hand to make it thicker? as a topping? You can get raw coconut butter... It has to be warmed a b...

Re: quality of foods

A friend in Singapore, hearing of the Wai diet, mused that religious/cultural proscriptions against meat/alcohol in certain areas might be part of an informed instinctive sense they are 'stimulating' (via heterocyclic amines, in the case of cooked meat) or addictive. There are other reasons of cour...

I think all of your posts here are very solpsistic. Your personal views are ultimately irrelevant. People can and do eat these animals you find objectionable. That's a little harsh isn't it? Some, people do eat these animals. Some people however, will never ever eat a raw egg. Not really. One uniqu...

That YOU don't think insects and small mammals are appetizing, I can imagine. You aren't living in the evolutionary past, though. You're not born and raised being used to eating them. There are quite a number of people on this world who do, however. As cooked food. And I don't mind some cooked grub...

Re: High carb necessary for height?

what about the native americans? Any reliable info about the height of native americans? How much starch did they consume? I think their height was highly variable, as was their diet... If anything though, I believe the exact opposite was true. The nomadic native americans in North America were phy...

Yes, its worrying as far as I'm concerned, but we first should try to find out what exactly happens during this procedure. When I have time, I will look into this matter. Any other info available already? I've been unable to find much info, but currently all imported mangoes in the US must be irrad...

Re: Low Fiber

Yes there is fat in the stool. It floats on the top and will not flush. Diarrhoea is what I have. I am an expert on diarrhoea. I have IBS-D, that is continual diarrhoea when fiber is present (on Wais diet). My brain has no control over the speed of the small intestine. I prevent diarrhoea by eating...

Re: IBS and Wais diet

I have been trying for six months to get an ultra low fiber version of Wais diet to work. When I eat fruit juice (seived) and raw fish I feel great, and do not get hungry, but I lose weight quickly. That is 2-3 kilos a month. When I add egg yolks, or nuts, or oil, or animal fats (chewable) to try a...

Re: Shellfish

From an evolutionary point of view aren't we supposed to be eating things like shellfish - mussels and oysters and scallops rather than fish like salmon or mackerel? Primitive man lived near rivers and the ocean and fishing implements and boats were a later invention. So I would presume primitive m...

This is unrelated to the main topic of brazil nuts in this thread but about brazil nuts. From an evolutionary POV are we supposed to eat Brazil nuts? Aren't they difficult to open and require special tools? Was primitive man able to eat them? Doesn't that mean we aren't supposed to eat them because...

Re: Wheat - addictive properties

I read somewhere - on panix (paleo eating) - that wheat has opioids as some sort of survival advantage. Is this true and how would it work? - that people get addicted to it and will farm it? a bit farfetched? - people who eat will die more quickly so the plant kills its consumers? - but why would t...

I guess if we keep it at the absolute minimum. I know that 100 grams of salmon per day wouldn't be enough for me.

I can get amazingly ripped if I hit the gym 1.5 hours + a day.

The easy way to get ripped is to give up your car and bike everywhere. Bike to work. Bike to the store.

It will happen.

Supplementary protein very effectively gives you new acne if you are acne prone. Flavonoids are actually natural detergents, that must protect the plant against being consumed. They have anti-oxidant properties due to their 'aggressive nature'. I strongly advice ingesting them. Only liquid free ami...
