Grape seed oil

While shopping at the supermarket today looking at olive oils, I came across bottles of grape seed oil as well. I later learnt grape seed oil has many health benefits and contains powerful antioxidants that are 50 times more potent than Vitamin E and 20 times more effective than Vitamin C in destroy...

How much is 133g?

Approximately how much is 133 g of raw fish in terms of Salmon sashimi? In my place, the smallest portion of raw fish I can order is 6 medium sized but cut into 1-inch thick slices. I also consumed this in one meal normally after a gym session. How much is 133g in terms of medium sized egg yolks?

Well that's so unfortunate. In the original Wai book, she clearly mentions the distinction between raw and cooked protein. She specifically singles that it is cooked protein that should be avoided at all cost. If u say that too much raw protein causes painful white heads and bad protein cause inflam...

Raw egg yolks to sleep well?

I have been eating raw salmon every day and ignoring egg yolks. But I am finding the quality of my sleep has deteriorated; I used to sleep really soundly but now I am sort of drifting in and out of sleep even when I'm tired. Would eating some raw egg yolks solve the problem?

Difference between cooked and raw protein

What about the differentiation between cooked and raw protein? I assume if my protein intake is sufficient or slightly more, then this does not cause acne as long as the protein quality is high, ie protein in raw salmon or egg yolk. The problems of acne occurs when the protein is denatured/destroyed...

Prolonged resistance training increases testosterone?

Does it mean the longer u work out the more hormones are released? What about how hard u train? If I'm working, say, two muscle groups per session, is it OK (eg chest and forearms one day, shoulders and back the other and so on)?

Damn, I flunked some of those. I am a gymmer but how can building muscles affect hormones? If I work out to increase muscle mass, would the Wai diet be enough to stop acne? What about sex and masturbation?

What influences sebum production?

Hi,

So far the wai diet addresses water retention in acne but not sebum production. So my question is what influences the production of sebum and what can be done to keep sebum production as low as is necessary to lubricate the skin, without clogging pores, other than following the wai diet?

Wai diet lose effectiveness over time?

Hello,

I am just wondering if the diet would lose its effectiveness over time, especially if it is done on and off, like I did?

Ideas anyone?

Skin getting clearer day by day

My skin is now getting clearer each passing day. I'm really not surprised cos I have been through all that already (twice before) and this just serves to prove that the concept of Wai diet is the best natural cure for acne. Of course, I could have chosen to take antibiotics or accutane and take the ...

Gastric feeling in stomach

Why is it that I get a gastric (sour stomach) feeling and bloating? I tried eating fruits like watermelon to make it go away but the feeling still persists. I was perfectly fine a few days ago but now, the sensation is back and stronger. I thought I got over this but apparently not. Will this lead t...

Havent got raw nuts either

In my part of the world in SEAsia, I cant find raw nuts either. I found packaged nuts of all sorts: peanuts, almonds, hazels, pretzels, brazil, macadamia. I assume these nuts are cooked and therefore contain bad protein. I dont like to make juice because it is sooo time consuming! Well first I need ...

Well I found whole grain bread makes me feel "fuller". OO is a bit troublesome for me to consume. I do not like to make juice and so I cant mix it with juice. Also, it looks weird for my colleagues to see me taking sips of OO frequently. And it makes a mess in my locker because of the OO dripping do...

Wai Diet without OO

Hello everyone, I am wondering if the diet can be done without consuming OO? I do eat raw salmon almost daily plus plenty of fruits. I space out my fruit intake so that I do not eat too much at one time. Will this have any significant effect on acne? I am also eating a bit of whole grain bread to in...
