Alright, this is really strange. I recently had a family dinner, about four days ago, during which I ate a lot of cooked protein, bread, milk, ect. Just generally a bad meal. Now, of course, I've been consistently munching on a few prepared food items each day since then, justifying it as an experim...

Eh, nevermind on that question, it seems Oscar already answered a similar question;

Oscar wrote:The 2:1 sugar (carbs in the calculator) to fat ratio is a guideline. The more active you are the higher the ratio should be.

As I've mentioned, I'm rather sedentary, if you disregard the short workouts every other day. So wouldn't a slightly higher ratio of fat/sugar be better?

Also, as I'm still in adolescence, should I be taking in more protein than is usual on this diet, for growth purposes?

Holly shit! 10 days without sleeping? How didn't you just fall asleep in the middle of the day? Were you using any drugs at the time? No drugs, I just wasn't able to fall asleep. I felt like I was on drugs, though. Lack of sleep really screws with my mind. I've also had really freaky hallucinations...

In contrast to the OP's problem, I've been able to get to sleep easier after adopting this diet. Actually, I used to have terrible insomnia. I'd sometimes go for up to a week and a half without sleeping (Consequently getting really strange hallucinations). It didn't really bother me. In fact, I actu...

Doesn't sound very reputable to me.
As mentioned; without references, there's no reason to believe it.

I wouldn't completely replace olive oil, best is to balance it. Coconut oil is all saturated fat, for some things it may be better, but for other olive oil (monounsaturated) may be better. Keep them half-half maybe. 80g of oil sounds quite a bit, almost half of your 1800-2000cal, are you sure you'r...

Alright. I'm completely clear now, for the first time in a long time. I still eat whole fruits for many meals, but my need for energy is on the low side due to the fact that I'm fairly sedentary, besides a short workout every other day. I also don't weigh that much, even though I look rather heavily...

http://nutiva.com/products/coconut-oil-organic-benefits-nutiva/ It seems like it should be okay, but I've found that many coconut oils are heated during production to a level above what is acceptable for this diet. Do any of you have experience with this brand? Also, is there any particular reason t...

Also, is there any way for me to tell how many calories I have used from the muscle glycogen stores during a workout?

The banana eaten before the workout cannot supply you with the required energy. You will have to build that energy (glycogen in your muscles) prior to the workout. During the workout you can use water with sugar to keep your blood sugar level up. How do you recommend building up the glycogen stores...

So, I found the Wai diet about a month ago, and had a bit of a rough start due to misunderstanding the rules of the sample diet, as well as some under-eating. However, I've been very strict about it for the past two weeks, and have been following the rules to the letter. My acne has cleared up signi...
