Just wanted to say that after being on the diet for about 5 days i got a breakout for the first time in years around my mouth and chin area. it has now been about 3 weeks since i started wais and my skin has completely cleared up. mind you, my skin was about 98% clear previous to wais, but now it is much smoother, softer, less oily and much more healthy looking.
Success stories are always a good motivator for others right? I would imagine those with severe acne would have to wait longer then me, not necessarily, for their skin to clear. but it is evidence that all it takes it commitment and time.
Was already almost clear, but now completely

Excellent!
Yes, it is more difficult for some. I personally can only tolerate 60g raw fish, so I was wondering why I continued to get acne when I ate 100g fish each day while sticking to Wai. You have to see what works for you, and stay within those boundaries, and then all it takes is a little time before you get clear skin.

So what do you do if you do have this problem. Reduce animal protein to 50g (if a man) or even zero? And try to obtain all required protein from fruits...RRM wrote:Its probably due to differences in the capacity to reuptake 'dirty protein' in the lymphe and blood vessels and to decompose them.

I understand a few people have this problem. Must be quite hard to deal with. Have you met anyone who has been unsuccessfull on the Wai Diet due to their testosterone levels?
Negativity is the cult of the weak
Reducing protein intake more cannot be done, as then your protein intake would be too low (when Brazil nuts need to be excluded as well), so that then free amino acid supplementation is required.dionysus wrote:So what do you do if you do have this problem.
If the cause is hormonal, however, then one may need to see what one can do (hormone therapy) to eliminate the hormonal factor.
Yes, two men. (a few years ago)I understand a few people have this problem. Must be quite hard to deal with. Have you met anyone who has been unsuccessfull on the Wai Diet due to their testosterone levels?
Oh ok. So the male 100g Sashimi limit which is set (50g women, 60g short gentlemen) is actually the minimum requires as well. Less that this could cause protein deficiency (if sustained over time) which in itself causes acne.RRM wrote:

But do such supplements in themselves cause acne?RRM wrote: ...so that then free amino acid supplementation is required.
You mean if the testostorone levels are two high?RRM wrote: If the cause is hormonal, however, then one may need to see what one can do (hormone therapy) to eliminate the hormonal factor.

Did these gentlemen try hormone therapy?Negativity is the cult of the weak
PS
Wouldn't working out help if you had this problem. Because then you would be burning off the redundent protein?RRM wrote:

If they contain all amino acids? yes, because then its just extra protein again. But if you only increase protein quality (eg extra methionine) a larger part will get used for construction purposes (and less for energy), while just very little extra protein was ingested. Of course, this extra amino acids must be 'clean' (readily utilized).dionysus wrote:But do such supplements in themselves cause acne?
Yes, or progesterone, for example.You mean if the testostorone levels are two high?
I dont know. I lost contact (too many people!)Did these gentlemen try hormone therapy?
Maybe, but it could never completely prevent all acne. (acne may already be caused by just 'a moment' of water retention)dionysus wrote:Wouldn't working out help if you had this problem.
