Actually, upon further investigation of the type of yeast that is responsible is 'lipophilic", meaning it needs fatty acids to thrive..

not sure how i should go about attacking this, as there isn't much info available.

First of all, acne isnt caused by bacterial overgrowth, which is only part of the inflammatory response to the clogging and pressure. (not cause, but resulting process) How would a yeast cause acne? That's why I put 'acne' in quotations. There's a lot of 'acne' like reactions which we associate wit...

Pityrosporum Folliculitis and This Diet.....

OK. I am starting to suspect that my 'acne' isn't caused by bacterial overgrowth, but may be due to yeast.... Since yeast thrives off sugar, and this diet is relatively high in sugar content... Does this pose a problem? Sure, this diet may 'unclog' the pores, but do the pores need to be clogged for ...

The Skin on my Face is constantly shedding...

Post-Accutane / Tazorac user... The skin on my face constantly sheds now. It seems like every night whenever I wash my face, I can rub off pieces of skin (I don't know how to describe it, reminds me of the skin that you can rub off on the back of your ears...like balls of greasy/gunk). Is this cause...

Is it normal to feel physically ill the first week?

It's almost as though my body aches and i haven't worked out...hard to explain.

Are these detox symptoms?

Why People Lose Weight on This Diet

Hey, I've got a pretty valid question... If people are concerned about losing weight in the very start of this diet - why? It seems to me like this diet WILL cause an initial loss of weight, however as long as you are eating ENOUGH, that 'weight loss' is restricted to WATER WEIGHT and not MUSCLE los...

Yeah, I think I'll just cut out nuts for the time being.

What are the websites?

I've also heard toxic mold is particularly BAD with peanuts, relative to other real 'nuts'.

Farmers who grow/consume lots of peanuts have unusually high rates of cancer.

The nuts I buy say they are raw, there's no shell on them though...

Does this mean they are potentially bad?

Yeah, it's called BioAstin. I don't consume that much, I think it amounts to 4 mg. But, apparently 'that's enough' to do its job. Flamingos and Salmon turn pink naturally by producing these antioxidant substances, so it's obviously in their genetic makeup. If you consumed massive amounts of it, then...

Another great thing about this diet is: It's CHEAP!

Relative to what I used to pay for groceries and other 'waste' foods, I can pretty much sustain myself on about 40 dollars worth of groceries per week, as opposed to spending 80 going out to eat and groceries that I used to.

Thanks for the comments! Unfortunately, I'm not big on the raw fish thing. I can handle raw egg yolk, but I've never been a big fan of fish. also, it's pretty hard to find fish that isn't contaminated with mercury where I live. As for fish oil, yes I recently found out that most of it is indeed heat...

First Timer on the Wai Diet, Here's My Impressions....

I'm 3 days in (this is currently my 4th day). I somehow came across wai's diet (randomly), and started reading it. A lot of it made sense, and then I decided to research for myself what the primary diet of our closest relatives (primates) was. Sure enough, they subside primarily on fruits, nuts, roo...
