Hi,
What about frozen egg yolk? I never thought I'd ask that, but I found a recipe for semifreddo (it has one big un-Wai ingredient: cream; the rest is simply honey and yolk). Will freezing damage the yolk's protein?

Hey everyone! It's been almost a year since I’ve started the diet, but I wanted to check in and report my experience. I started this diet due to digestive problem: colitis-like symptoms, where my body reacted to everything I ate. I am only 26 and doctors couldn’t find anything wrong, so I had to be ...

I have a very random question unrelated to the Wai diet, but I'm curious if anyone has input. My sister is pregnant and deeply craves the smell of bleach and chlorine. She constantly wants to go swimming and clean the house with bleach (I assume it's chlorine bleach). She says she falls asleep dream...

H a ha, uh oh...I'm sure that one day I'll turn around, after having grabbed the ripest avocado, and see exactly that image!
Thanks for the warning, Oscar

Ha ha, Oscar! Except I look more like a scary monster lady who is totally possessed. With horns. When I really "need" a specific kind of (Wai) food, I'd do about anything to get it Glad I'm not the only one! In fact, I think my need for nutrients is more intense than any craving I could ever have fo...

Otherwise we might have to send out RRM as a modern-day Tarzan to catch us all some juicy fish. :lol: I think we can say the same thing for wild fruits vs cultivated selected fruits. I have the chance where I live to eat some (almost) wild fruits like fresh coconuts, cempedak, jackfruits, rustic ba...

Thanks for the info. I keep picking up/putting down (and picking up, putting down) the pre-packaged tenderloin at the store. The guy behind the meat counter thinks I'm nuts. It looks good, but I'm concerned about Ecoli and tapeworms. It's really a fear that's been instilled in me (especially in the ...

Hi RRM, I thought white rice was encouraged as a munch food? There are a lot of recipes in the book where's it's an ingredient.
(or is that just there for those people who "need" grain, and it's the "least bad" grain?)

I don't know if this is helpful, but I found the following sources that say farmed salmon have fewer omega-3s than wild, and higher levels of omega-6s (the given ratios of omega-3's to 6 are 15:1 for wild, 3: 1 for farmed). In short: wild fish are a better source of omega-3s. ( http://whfoods.org/ge...

Properly fremented foods may even cause cancer if chemicals (like salt) are involved that can lead to the formation of aggressive compounds. I am currently planning to make salt-less sauerkraut, and I've found recipes that include either wine or vinegar. Could either of these form aggressive compou...

RRM wrote: I do recall a study where they mentioned pickled foods as a food product that could increase stomach cancer-risk. Probably not due to an overload of bacteria, but rather due to aggressive compounds originating from the 'pickling-ingredients' (such as salt) in combination with the fermenta...

Thank you!!

For those in the U.S., I highly recommend Napa Valley Naturals olive oil. It's expensive ($10-$15), but I did a little math the other day and realized I'm spending less money on this diet than a regular diet. It's delicious, without the burn or tart aftertaste. I also feed my dogs olive oil, which I...

I agree that a raw piece of low-quality meat and a cup of corn oil will seem gross to most people. But I think that a plump cut of raw salmon, a yummy yolk sauce, and a bottle of olive oil seems intuitively healthy and appetizing, at least to me. It's just pure protein and pure fat, with nothing bad...

I've researched this a bit, because I was interested in why long-term marijuana smokers don't have an increased rate of lung cancer. I found no evidence that marijuana can prevent cancer. Maybe only in the sense that it may cut stress in a high-stress individual (although admittedly that's like sayi...
