Argh, I'm so evil :( Running through the steppes, wielding a vorpal blade, cometh Wintran! And he gives a mighty cry: "In the name of Thor the Mighty, I desecrate until there is no more hope!" I really have to pick a better username next time that gets a funnier battle cry (and better first hit on G...

Nice, I'll keep that in mind! Thanks.

I'm guessing there's nothing special required to fill up glycogen depots, other than good rest, avoiding too much physical and mental strain and sufficient (good) nutrition for a couple of days.

Thanks for the clear advice, it all sounds very logical.

To maximize blood-protein and blood-fat levels, do I simply eat excessive amounts of (good) fat and protein, starting on the day before training?

Well, not that hardcore really (I think I exaggerated a bit) :) I've been dancing a lot lately, and I might join a samba group for a parade that will last for several hours without break. It'll probably be like a long aerobic workout, which is why I'm worried that it'll start eating my muscles as I'...

I've mostly eaten hazel nuts, which I read somewhere would be the second best choice after brazil nuts, as I don't have access to those unfortunately. I can't eat them alone, however, but mixing them with something sweet, especially honey, has done the trick for me, and has become a great calorie su...

Hi, If I had to undergo a 4 hour of intense stamina training without the ability to take pauses to eat fruits/drink OJ, what would be the best option to minimize muscle mass loss? Should I try to overeat on sugar and fat a couple of days before, to build up a fat reservoir in my body, or should I go...

I've been wondering this for some time now:

Is salt needed to make sweat effective, and if so, will the absence of salt in this diet affect our temperature regulation system negatively?

Hi RRM! :P Thanks for the welcome back! I realized I haven't been here for a while, but I definitely haven't forgotten about the diet. Actually I've gotten more and more interested in the science of food (whatever it's called) to be able to provide better answers for people interested in the diet, a...

Hi everyone! The last months I've fell in love with honey, and my favorite combination so far is honey with some butter covered with hazelnuts, which works great for someone like me who's had a hard time with OJ but needs the raw energy it provides. Honey didn't taste very good with olive oil so I t...

Great initiative guys! I agree that both the structure and the visual design of the website could be improved to give newcomers a simple introduction as well as providing easy-to-find information and guidelines, and a way to reach the more in-depth scientific articles. Here's the latest version of t...

Sorry all, seems like I might have been wrong in believing this diet was suitable for a unique article on Wikipedia. See the full discussion at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/No_More_Acne_Diet It might be better to mention Wai's diet as an alternate view in the acne ar...

I've now posted the article at Wikipedia and made some changes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_More_Acne_Diet However, at first glance some people considered this article to be advertisment spamming, and a discussion has been started regarding if this article is suitable or not. It's said that we n...

I found some good information about pasteurized orange juice in this thread from the old forums: http://www.waitalk.com/cgi-bin/bb/ultim ... 000014;p=1

Regarding brazil nuts, is it optimal to ingest them spread out during the whole day, or should you try to eat larger amounts only when you ingest the rest of your protein (usually in the evening)?

How much worse is concentrated or pasteurized orange juice than freshly squeezed? Are there some added substances that are bad, or are the fruit sugars of lower quality making it harder to ingest enough energy? Would it be possible to stay on this diet if only drinking for example concentrated orang...
