Thanks Havas. It's much appreciated. I'm sorry to hear you had to have an operation and get the pouch. It can't have been easy for you to cope with that change, especially at such a young age. I honestly think it's easier at a young age. The body and mind adapts well. Physically I've adapted to the ...

Thanks Brazilnuts...your post really cheered me up. I really appreciate the kindness I'm glad to hear it. Today my mum said "Your magical diet isn't working, you might as well stop" I'm feeling motivated once again, but getting slightly impatient for results. I'm hoping by friday, I'll see some res...

Havas, it's YOUR diary. Update it as often as you like, as many times a day/week as you like. Eventually when you get the hang of the diet, you might find that you update it infrequently. The good thing about the diary is that people can come and see it and give you tips etc. to help you along your ...

Gaining Muscle As I want to gain muscle, I am thinking of working out with weights, but I don't want to get a bulky look. I need to spend more time researching what kind of work outs I can do with weights that would prevent me from turning into the incredible hulk. I just want lean, sleek looking m...

When I look at myself in the mirror, I still CANNOT believe that my body fat is that high. There must be something wrong with my Tanita scales. I've seen pictures of people who look similar to me and yet they claim to have a body fat percent within the 20's range. I've found an example here. Look a...

Previously, I wrote: This morning I did the 20 minute HIIT plan shortly after I woke up. On an empty stomach, as that is better at reducing body fat percentage. Bill Philips had claimed that doing HIIT in the morning could reduce body fat up to 300% faster than doing HIIT at any other time of the da...

STATS. Body Fat Percent August 14th = 34%, w 144 August 17th = 32%, w 145.5 Wow, after a few sessions of High Intensity Interval Training my body fat has gone down by 2%! Whohooo!!! My body weight, however, has gone up by 1.5 pounds. I hope it is an increase in muscle mass. When I look at myself in ...

Update: After a few sessions of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) my body fat has gone down by 2% to 32%, BUT my body weight has gone up by 1.5 pounds.

Lets just hope that's an increase in muscle mass.

My family is quite sceptical Wow, I think you need to spend time educating your family about the Wai diet. Start by asking them "What are humans closest to in terms of evolution?" When they say "monkeys" then you ask "And what do monkeys eat in the wild that keep them so agile and energetic?" Hopef...

Thank you Havas. That was such a wonderful, kind and thoughtful post. Yes I have heard of Breaking The Vicious Cycle. I have the book (I bought it about 6 years ago) and visited the official SCDiet website quite a bit. However I am not on the diet but try to incorporate bits of it into my normal die...

This morning I did the 20 minute HIIT plan shortly after I woke up. On an empty stomach, as that is better at reducing body fat percentage.

I think I am going to start doing stretching exercises last thing at night, so that my muscles are not tense in the morning. I've also heard it aids sleep.

Well done. Does your mum have access to the internet? Perhaps you could show her www.waisays.com and let her read some of the articles so she understands that your new way of eating it actually better than before. You never know, she might decide to try it with you. And I think you have made decisio...

Hi Brazilnuts, Thanks for the encouragement, I've just downloaded it as an ebook now. For the first time in my life, I feel like I'm in control of my own well being. Instead of being hit by what ever is thrown at me. It feels very empowering. Thanks. Fantastic! Hopefully you can do us keen muscle h...

Absolutely delicious, as a sort of dry snack you eat with a spoon, in a normal plate, like a normal pre-Wai diet meal. To make it, use a juice extractor to get the liquid out of the carrot. Then scrape off all the dry-looking carrot pulp and put them on a plate. Sprinkle some lemon juice over it (de...
