Re: Nuclear radiation and wai diet

I read that an anti-radiation diet should focus on the following foods: · Miso soup · Spirulina, chlorella and the algaes (kelp, etc.) · Brassica vegetables and high beta carotene vegetables · Beans and lentils · Potassium, calcium and mineral rich foods · High nucleotide content foods to assist in ...

Nuclear radiation and wai diet

A question related to the news: Is the wai diet still recommended after going through nuclear radiation? Is it fine? And I often hear that cancer feeds on sugars, so when having a cancer, it's better to cut off sugars. What about this on this diet? Is it better to stop eating fruits? Except the iodi...

More than 10 meals per day.
Please, for everything.
Make an average; an estimate.
So let's pick up this:
500gr mandarin
1.5kg bananas
130gr salmon

Re: Workout with low glycogen stores ?

Do you mean that this person wants to lose bodyfat? ("...when he is dieting, he can't eat more...") Yes, losing fat Protein shakes (soy, whey etc) are all low quality protein, meaning that most of the amino acids are converted into sugars / fatty acids or bodyfat. But when listening to you, it feel...

Re: Workout with low glycogen stores ?

The only amino acids that are now available only minimally, are methionine and cystein, so that if you want to use more protein for (re)construction purposes, you just need to supplement with methionine, so that after all, you can use some of all that redundant threonine, lysine and leucine as well...

Re: Workout with low glycogen stores ?

100% whey protein? (Fresh) whey contains 1% protein and dried whey powder 12% protein, but im guessing yours is more concentrated than that? Protein quality of whey protein is only 30% I do not know how much concentrated it is, they don't say. But why, instead of buying a whey protein pack, I can't...

Supplementary amino acids?

(EDIT) copied from another thread (/EDIT) But why, can't I buy many amino acids separately (which you find in the protein pack, like L-Isoleucine, L-Leucine, L-Lysine, L-Threonine ,L-Tryptophan, L-Valineand etc...) and take them at the dose I want. Why don't you propose things like this? When someo...

Already taking methionine; whats the next step?

Yes. It keeps your body in a metabolic rather than catabolic state. It keeps glycogen in the muscles and prevents breaking down protein for energy. How high they're usually talking about? Too high regarding health? Protein supplements always contain a lot of protein that is not utilized, simply bec...

Already taking methionine; whats the next step?

(EDIT) Split off from another thread (/EDIT) Bodybuilders often talk too about getting insulin high so it helps in building muscles or something like this. Is it true? Have you ever had bigger muscles than this? What kind of exercise program/routine do you use? No, I never had bigger muscles. But I...

Protein before or after exercise?

Its better to consume that protein (and more sugars) right after the exercise, which will stimulate the uptake of amino acids in muscle tissue. But every bodybuilders advise to take proteins (shake) before training too. So it is really wrong to do this? Do you think that without supplements/shakes,...

Re: Normal blood levels? (uric acid, creatinine, cholesterol

And what is for you the normal levels of creatinine and LDL/HDL cholesterol? You mean for the Wai diet? We have not investigated that for the wai diet specifically, but i dont think it will be beyond 'normal' maximum/minimum levels. What are your levels? For the normal levels, I meant for optimal h...

Normal blood levels? (uric acid, creatinine, cholesterol)

Ok thanks. I don't know if I must create a new topic for each or if I must ask here but what about uric acid? Do you consider 35-72 a normal range?
Having 29 on this diet is bad? What does it mean regarding the diet?

And what is for you the normal levels of creatinine and LDL/HDL cholesterol?

Normal fasting blood sugar level?

From the Wai point of view, what is the normal fasting blood sugar level? Between 0.70 g/l - 1.05 g/l?
Is being under 0.70 (around 0.60~) bad?

Re:

But if you insist on consuming supplementary amino acids, its most effective to take 500 mg methionine daily. If you think you need more, take 1000 mg methionine plus 500 mg phenylalanine daily, which is the max. Can I add carnosine to that without problem? This one is not for muscles; I have a hea...
