thats a good idea! thanks for the tips MariaLinn. I showed my mom the Wai site and articles and even though she is still a bit skeptical, she isn't objecting to the way I am eating anymore, which is great. I just have a couple of questions about the Acne sample diet, if anybody knows.... are cherrie...

MariaLinn, you are totally right about it being MY body and MY life. I guess I am just pretty sensitive about fitting in socially, and my family is always pretty concerned about my health. It will be MUCH easier when I move out, right now I am 20 years old and presently living at home. Thanks for th...

Ganbare, I totally understand what you are saying, that is the difficulty that I have with this diet as well. It makes me feel much better physically, but I have a lot of anxiety about the social aspect of it. In North America and most Western countries it might be okay to refuse to eat certain thin...

claireelis, did you find out the cause of your absent periods? I also stopped having my periods about 2 years ago, I'm 21 years old right now, and went on the pill for it but it doesn't really help the underlying cause. I have always been healthy, except for the acne, so I'm not sure what the cause ...

I also wake up constantly throughout the night, and get up really early and I have never been a morning person before! I dont understand it either, but I think it has to do with having a very efficient digestive system now (since we are not consuming unhealthy foods). Unless you have a lack of energ...

I just realized that I have been using sesame oil from toasted sesame seeds, and not a cold-pressed one! Could this be the cause?

It's made from the castor bean. I can't seem to find any information on how much vitamin e it has, but if you google it, it is reputed to be good for acne. I have been on the sample diet for almost two weeks, and my skin looks better but I still have a few pimples and I'm wondering if I'm doing some...

I heard that food allergies are caused if you eat a certain food too much. because this diet is so limited (especially the sample one before munch foods) I have been eating a ton of oranges and the tomato, cucumber, & avocado salad with olive oil. I'm worried that I'm going to get a food allergy! Im...

also is castor oil ok to use on the skin?

I know that we aren't supposed to take any supplements on this diet, but if I take fish oil (without the capsule) isn't it the same as the raw fish? What about cod liver oil? Also, does anyone have any recommendations for a good brand of sunscreen?

ok! thanks so much for the advice! since then I have been eating MUCH more, its just hard when I am on the run during the day to remember to eat every hour or so. also I find that I never FEEL hungry on this diet, so I just have to eat on a schedule anyways. I stopped eating the dried fruit, because...

Hi claireelis, thanks so much for your advice about what to order! well the social situations I am worried about are when I go to someone's house for dinner, or on dates, but you're right I should just be able to say that I have to be careful because certain foods make me break out- its just kind of...

Here is my diary for the last two days, any advice would be awesome! I find it hard to eat fruit with fat, so I have been eating the fruits separately and having one meal with the avocado and olive oil. also I made a mistake by eating dried dates with no clue whether they are sundried or not. The se...

Hi everyone, I just recently found the Wai diet site, but before that I experimented with being a raw-food vegan, etc. and I had some difficult issues with it socially. My family thought that I had an eating disorder, but really I was just trying to get rid of my acne!! It didn't help that I lost A ...
