interval training

:o Hello, my question is on a new program called PACE, which is a modified type of interval training. Dr Sears explains long cardio workouts are bad and can cause heart and lungs to shrink due to "downsizing". These interval workouts should last 10 to 20 minutes only, never over 20 minutes. He expla...

:shock: Thanks RMR for answering all my questions. Your respones all make sense. Im back on board with eating fruit all day and night. I also read Fit for Life yesterday and that book closely resembles wai diet except for egg yolks. I dont know why I fight it sometimes. But after eating protein for ...

too much fruit, and insulin

I thought that when eating sugar, even when you need the energy, needs insulin to shuttle the glucose into the cell. Which would mean that sugar intake cause insulin release. I read on serveral sites that the body prefers fat as fuel for the body. So also ,If the body needs more glucose, it coverts ...

Harmful supplements

:roll: Hey now. My question of the day is about taking lots of vitamins(from the bottle), do you know if they cause insulin release for the pancreas. I ask my self this today because I remember Oscar saying that insulin stores excess nutrients, not just carbs or glucose. And he also mentioned that p...

The chemical reaction that may cause insulin resistance. With a constant in take of sugar, blood sugar, your body will not burn its own fat if a high insulin level remains in the bloodstream. Once insulin is lowered, through no-carbing, your body turns to use your own fat or ketones for energy. Some...

Alot of studies are coming out saying that carbs cause the many diseases we call aging. Like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and others. Fructose is fructose, no matter where it comes from. Obviously fruit has water and essential nutrients, but what about the sugar that may cause the negative chem...

I believe that big meals definetely are dangerous, and cause high insulin secrection, but all the studies I have read, show that sugar and carbs cause an insulin response and protein can convert to glucose if needed by 58%. It is not that I dont trust you, because I do Oscar, but Im just trying to f...

Hey guys, I thought the point of this diet and more importantly the point of anti ageing was not to exercise to much. I thought this diet, of mainly fruits and fats, was to be slim without having to run, and sweat, and cause adrenline to constrict our arteries. Im looking for a diet to use that is a...

I love this diet but want a ketogenic diet

:o my first thought about this diet is that seems "perfect". It makes sense, and makes me feel great. My ONLY concern is that im torn between doing a ketogenic diet that will without doubt burn body fat for fast fat loss. With wai diet the carb and sugar content seems high. I have read the site and ...

Ok, thats about the frequency women usually use too, and they normally dont have oily scalp and hair loss, so I must say that makes a whole lot of sense. Though being new to wai diet, and still have oil production problems, what happens to the sebum or oil if I dont wash with water for a couple of d...

Yeah, I agree, now, after spending maybe 5000.00 dollars over many years on topicals. I still have some hair, but not quite the amount promised. Hopefully, using nothing, with wai-diet, ill maintain and improve the health of my scalp. It should anyways using nothing because all the topicals always c...

Oh yeah, and what about using hair growth formulas, like minoxidil, and other topical concoctions that are said to work?

Hey Oscar, thanks for the advice. That is very interesting what your saying about not to shampoo your scalp. I was told by a top hair growth company called Gaunitz, they're in arizona, to scrub my scalp with their shampoo. But your protocol seems more logical. So are you saying just wash with water,...
