Thanks Cairidh and Johndela1! That was very helpful. Yes, my friend seems excited about the diet, but I think she is still trying to wrap her mind around the fact that all the "carbs" on the diet aren't going to make her gain weight. And she swears she has a slower metabolism--which, given her past ...

Thanks! Bambi: I eat really filling desserts from time to time--chocolates mostly--but only because they're like a decadent little treat, not because I MUST HAVE THEM RIGHT NOW (lol). My skin doesn't break out from that, so it's great. Also, I add balsamic vinegar to the diet. I eat yolks or sashimi...

WOW, I am so excited! I have zero cellulite. I never, never, never thought I'd be able to say that. :D Even though I have been on this diet for almost 2 years (wow), I was always eating munch foods. My skin, weight, cellulite, and mood dramatically improved, and everything was great. But I wanted th...

that was me!

Yes!...

Oscar and Curlygirl, I also have so much excess energy now, except instead of at night, thankfully I am only "bothered" with it I wake up. I have found that taking a 1 or 2-hour walk (!) first thing in the morning helps to release it nicely. Walking also helps me to gather my thoughts and get some e...

Actually, Oscar is right! Especially when you're going off the pill...you're body is in dire need of being "reset".

How would this diet (or actually any way of eating) work for people have had anorexia? I know that once the body faces starvation, it will do anything to hold on to fat. Does it stay in this state forever? That concerns a friend of mine, but as far as I'm concerned: I used to go for long stretches w...

I personally do my makeup exactly as Wai (generously) explained, which works great: http://www.acneboard.com/AcneQandA/Forum2/000011.html The Chanel powder works great, but I usually only wear it at night. I also don't wear eye makeup--my lashes have gotten nice and thick!--unless I am going out clu...

What are people's viewpoints here on naps?
Do you take them? Are they good/bad (in the sense that they perhaps detract from one's sleep at night)?

I have been super busy/active lately, and have sort of "forgotten" about munch foods. So I have, in spite of my thinking that I couldn't do this, I have gone 100% for the last couple weeks. It's fantastic! I am no longer thinking all day, "Oh, I can't wait until 5 pm when I can eat my munch meal" et...

CurlyGirl, Once again, thank you for your insight! You have nothing to gain from your explanations, and I appreciate it both as an eye-opener and/or as a much-needed reminder. But in relation to this: I wonder, how else are people supposed to make a difference--a Wai/RRM difference!--unless they are...

i should hang that one on the wall Ha ha, over the TV? CurlyGirl, how funny that we were thinking along the same lines! And I completely agree with your definition of what third wave feminism is/should be about. It's so refreshing to read your posts--I really admire your tenacity in seeking truth a...

I don't really have the time or desire to craft the least offensive argument over something that is self evident.

Um, then why spend, like, 5 posts having an argument? Whatever.

Btw, I see that you're in Brooklyn. What market/restaurant do you recommend for sashimi?

Hmmm..I'm not sure what sort of shady business a fruitarian-based (albeit international) mafia would involve itself in...a black market banana trade? Dried fruits, maybe? Doesn't sound as cool, for some reason. :) Curlygirl, thanks for recommending those books! I read The Beauty Myth when I was youn...
