Re: Back for another try!

Day three and back to work for the first time in over a week. Last night's meal: 2.5L OJ (pasteurized) + 150g sugar drank over course of two hours in evening, followed by 300g sashimi an hour later. Bed an hour after that. Since I am quite active at work I am not sure how my muscle glycogen will hol...

Re: pasturized orange juice

Discovery! There is pulp even in Tropicana no-pulp OJ. Perhaps this explains the minor gas (mild odour) that I experienced on my first two days back on Wai (WWD version). I caught this detail last night half-way through my evening meal when I found pulp deposited on the sides of my OJ glass. Caught ...

Re: Back for another try!

Okay... so it's my second day on the WWD (Wai Warrior Diet - so much easier to abbreviate, no?). Anyhow, my evening meal started out kinda interesting. I finished 1.5L OJ with 75g sugar in about 3 minutes or so. Most of the way through I almost didn't feel like drinking anymore, but then I burped an...

I work as an order puller in an organic produce warehouse on Canada's west coast. My job keeps me physically active all day and in...

Re: Wai Warrior - for autophagy - AN EXPERIMENT

Having read this thread in its entirety I am encouraged to give the Wai Warrior approach a shot. It seems much more preferable and feasible than the original diet. Certainly helps to know this time around as I recommit that I don't tolerate egg yolk. Fish and oj it is. @RRM: If one is moderately act...

Re: Blood Type?

I realize that there is a lack of evidence to support blood type dieting. I just find it interesting that I have a problem with many of the foods that are supposedly bad for my type, and that I noted these problems prior to my knowledge of blood type dieting. Coincidence could certainly explain this...

Re: Damned, damned craving !!!

The degree of dependence would of course be related to one's opiate receptors which differs from person to person. I have a hard time with opiate withdrawal.

Re: Classical conditioning

I'm not sure that this site addresses the specific neurological/physical symptoms that can accompany withdrawal from opiates and other chemical components in food (will examine specific threads further), but proper initial counseling/knowledge support would likely increase individual success rates a...

Classical conditioning

Food reactions don't only occur when one ingests something as illustrated by Pavlov. A craving/perception of availabilty can initiate a physiological cascade of reactions in the absence of the food itself. A cocaine addict will feel the need to move their bowels when they anticipate the use of the s...

Re: Fungus on skin

Regular bath/hand soap kills bacteria but not fungus. If it did you could clear up athlete's foot by taking a bath. The floral balance that exists in the digestive tract also exists on the skin. Using soap disrupts this balance and can actually promote yeast/fungal infections of the skin.
