26 days off accutane, the pimples are comming back :(

If you are not sure whether you are doing the diet right, create your own diet diary here, so others can take a look at it.

In the initial stages of the diet yes.
How long have you been on the diet now?
I have been on it for 9 days, but out of those 9 days 5 i've been eating 1 meal of cooked food, yesterday I haven't ate any munch, and I have been drinking tropicana in those past 9 days. I'm going to try to be as Wai as I can from now on, now that I have some weight put on.

Good to hear.
So even if I am not 100% like me drinking 1800ml of tropicana I would not be able to get passed through the initial stages of the diet?

I'm starting to notice immediate effects of eating munch foods, I feel very addictive to them but I will quit, the only problem seems to be at work, because they serve a great buffet that's practically free, everyone thinks I'm crazy for not eating lunch. Some social anxiety happens and me being skinny and all people may think, "oh this guy is starving himself eating only that?", I get sort of an anxiety pressure to eat. I been eating munch + wai for the past 3 weeks, I notice over eating results in immediate loss of energy, and the after effects on my skin too. I guess I have proved to myself 100% without a doubt that food does give me acne, before this I was a bit in the dark as I never munched without alcohol in the picture. I feel great being 3 weeks sober, and am very compelled to try 3 weeks wai with tropicana OJ since I still can't afford unpasteurized OJ. I think I need a full time job, my jobs hours are not stable enough.

Thats impossible to say, as its individually very different as to how much munch food your skin can tolerate.

I work in a restaurant.
Your coworkers will rapidly get used to you having different dietary habits.
Its not scary to be different.
me being skinny and all people may think, "oh this guy is starving himself eating only that?", I get sort of an anxiety pressure to eat.
Then eat raw nuts in public. (macadamia nuts taste good, and are fatty)
Eating nuts is not associated with being skinny.

I know it's not scary to be different, I've done it, it's just that so much employees come and go through this place, and recently I've thought Id just be kind to everyone I pass by and I made friends with a lot of people. Now every day I feel I have to validate myself and I'm so sick n tired of talking about this, I've even come up with a lie, and tell them it's a special doctors diet my doctor gave to me, the lie grows and they ask more questions.

I have recently started eating raw nuts, this is the only time I can find in shell nuts in Christmas season, almonds, walnuts, hazel. I suppose I can crack a bunch and bring them to work.

It's so easy, I just tell people I have food allergies and have to eat a strict diet consisting of mostly fruits/vegetables (the 'fruit vegetables' like cucumber). There's not many questions they can ask me at that point..

Well I guess I had not told the story in it's entirety, When I first started the job weighing 145lbs, injured myself and stopped exercising, lost 11lbs (134lbs), started the wai diet, 3 weeks in I took a 3 month leave, come back to work and I'm 118lbs :O for me I never ever really noticed the weightloss, but others initial reactions seemed stunned. Ever since that I been conscious about my weight and I don't feel like associating myself with things that are skinny people do, or want people to think I'm anorexic, cuz I'm very much the opposite.


Anyways I reread your smoking and food article, and I come to think that I must quit smoking to avoid food cravings. Here is why. When I first started the diet and quitting smoking/drinking I had dedication, 2 weeks was easy, I think I went to 30 days before I quit the diet, but had failed at quitting smoking before the 30 days and,. I thiiink until I started smoking I begun having cravings for pizza pops, I literately smelled them everywhere, even in random garbage cans odd...

I was thinking of not smoking to help aide my diet, also I'm thinking in turn the diet will aide my quit smoking.

anyways I was surprised to find this article, I now believe in you 100% RRM :D

Diabetes is caused when the system that controls energy levels is derailed.
Too high intakes of energy in one meal is the most effective way to derail this (insulin) system.
You will not derail this system if your energy intake is in accordance with your blood energy levels;
meaning that whenever your blood energy level goes down a little, you consume a little energy,
to the extend that your blood energy needs to be replenished.
If you do that, you will be fine regarding diabetes.
If you are not so good in doing this, a higher fat intake will help you, as it makes you rely less on sugars / protein for energy.
So, all you need to do, is pay close attention to your energy levels,
and act accordingly (regarding energy intake).

Wow indeed! They might actually get it! :shock:

And yeah, diabetes is less about what you eat, but more about how much you eat per meal.

Got it guys thanks, do I need to be taking them together? can I perhaps say eat 3 bananas then drink 3 sips of oil maybe 30 minutes or more later. Sometimes I'll forget then I think, damn well I missed my window... ill just go without.

Well I'm 18 days sober, 90% wai (tropicana OJ) since then also wtih the exception of last saturday I ate 2 meals of sandwiches and mashed patatoes and salads, corn and such, ate some pizza pops, energy drink and sliced pizza on some day last week. I place blame on quitting drinking, and also fears of going broke (I haven't worked in past 4 weeks and counting due to seasonal availability) and, fears of losing weight in the future, but I think that is all cleared up now I hope. I just hit the 130lb mark YAY I think its because I haven't worked and sat around for the past month lol but hey it makes me feel more normal. My skin is looking pretty good it's almost the best I have seen it since discovering this diet, 3-5 easy to pop loose pimples in the past 2 days. Last month I had a lot of tight pimples that really hurt to pop and left really red marks.

Although I feel I have a bit on my plate to handle, giving up 2 addictions, trying to gain weight, and financial problems I feel not so bad, I don't feel a need to do something stupid, I want to stop making mistakes and learn how to avoid them, I'm kinda getting used to this. I really feel no need to drink as in the past 6 months. I think I'm well equipped as I always been observant of my habits and have found enough reasons to not drink, and what my triggers are. Now I just gotta learn how to deal with all this knowledge of myself.


Thank you for everyone who has been listening and helping me, you are all wonderful people.

Also I have a question

I have been reading a lot of others diets and dieters opinions, and sugar seems to get a bad rep. Does this reputation stem from an imbalance of sugar:fat ratio?

I think it's more because people associate it with candies or because they eat a lot at once.

Anyway, seems like you're doing well, keep it up!

Most of the studies done are on high fructose corn syrup, a cooked, unnaturally processed food.

I spent time doing a low fat raw vegan style diet and thought highly of the importance of sugar:fat. Its true that you can eat a lot of fruit at one time without experiencing fungal issues or hypogycemia, if you leave out all the fat completely from your diet, but I experienced a great many other problems that came with eating large fruit meals... I think the small meals are really, really key, because the fat is important, and our bodies do use sugar well. I don't have experience with lower carb diets, so I don't know what the issues people experience on those, but again, many are looking at other types of sugar, most of them cooked, and some do have issues with a higher ratio of fructose to glucose.

Ok, I just don't know what to say to people when they say sugar is bad.

Well back to my diary, Well since my last entry on wednesday, my acne got a little worse, but getting better, that was day 4 and today is day 8 of my wai diet (not 100%) old scars are starting to fade, skin is looking less red, today had 6 pimples, hoping to clear pretty good by next Saturday. I'm in for the long run this time. :D
Day 21 on being sober, and boredom is kicking in, but I'm pretty happy with the progress I made so far *pats back*. XD
