I've had chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, chemical sensitivity, hypoglycemia, hypothyroid, and everything that goes along with all of those issues for many years. Besides being born with something wrong maybe due to stress and bad diet of my mother, I think that they were brought on by stress in my ow...

I'm back on the diet

Hello everyone, I was very glad to find the forum still up and running when I found my way back to the waisays diet. Thank you for still being here. This is my third time trying this diet, and hopefully this time I can find a way to make it work for me. This time around I realize that I can't eat an...

To add electrolytes, you just add some lemon juice and a pinch of good quality salt.

Terence, with respect to your question about much olive oil on a daily basis causing dry skin, I am wondering if it is because olive oil is very much a solvent and not a moisturizer of the body. After drinking a lot of olive oil/orange juice/water mixture for several weeks I started to look very deh...

Re: Increasing sugar tolerance!

I am keeping an eye on my teeth and gums, too. My teeth have most of my life been very weak, and I have to be very careful. Right now I am concerned that my gums seem to be receding and my teeth are also getting more yellow. Not good. With respect to what you have found to be good for your gums, inc...

Thanks, RRM, I was thinking that that was what they were, but I just had to hear it from someone to be sure.

Parasites

Today when I was cutting my tuna I found several strands of something that were a little thicker than thread and had red running throught them. Does anyone know if this is only something that is a part of the meat of tuna?
Thanks,

Re: Increasing sugar tolerance!

Hi, ... The last times I started Wai's diet I always came from very low carb, high animal fat diets (Vonderplanitz, Atkins, Wolfgang Lutz, Vilhjalmur Stefanson, 'The Bear' etc.) I noticed now that saturated fats significantly diminish my body's ability to handle sugars! Especially animal fats like ...

Seth, when are you leaving and where in Canada are you going? Can you take a small cooler with you? The soft material type can look like just another piece of luggage. If you could, you could wash some eggs and wrap them in paper towels and package them in a plastic container. If you don't have time...

I have heard people say that sugar pushes protein out causing acne That doesnt make any sense. Also, for the people that are very susceptible to acne and clear their skin with this diet, sugar poses no threat at all regarding acne. I agree that it doesn't make any sense, and I don't know how that c...

I have heard people say that sugar pushes protein out causing acne, and so they would consider sugar the bad guy and stay away from it in order to not have acne problems. I don't know if this is a correct assumption, though. But if many people found that to be true, then I would assume that sugar in...

I dont believe in a detox like that regarding butter and potatoes.

What do you eat and drink when sick?

I've been sick since yesterday. I've had a headache, neck pain, chills, lung congestion, and abdominal problems. It may be either detox or caused by eating potatoes and butter which I had been using as munch food for 3 or 4 days. Yesterday I got sick while at work, so I just ate the regular wai food...

Have you tried any of the cacao products yet? I have tasted the nibs and found them to be very bitter. The nibs were so hard that I couldn't chew them. But they were so bitter that I didn't care. I imagine but am not sure they the powder is simply made by grinding the nibs, much the way flour is mad...
