No, not like a bodybuilder.
So OJ and fish that's it?
My wife and children are in Ghana now, and im all alone
So, yes, i fell back in my lonesome routine, just drinking juice and eating only salmon. Thats easier.
How much of both do you ingest please?
I drink only OJ (3 L) and eat only salmon (400 g.) currently.
Do you think you feel and look fantastic?
I feel fantastic, and i think i dont look that bad for a 50 year old man.
If you had to remineralize teeth would you change your diet at all and if so in what way.
I would not change it at all.
My teeth are doing great.
When i was young had quite a few cavities, but my teeth are doing great now.

Im sorry, i was a bit busy.
I'm confused as the whole premise of the Wai diet is to ingest optimal food for optimal health and the by product of that is a body very low in body fat.
...the vigilant ingesting of simple sugars and fats maintain one's muscle mass. Therefore, isn't fasting the anti thesis of the Wai principles?
Optimal food for optimal health is the same for Wai regular and Wai Warrior.
Fasting makes maintaining muscle mass much harder, but that is compensated for by the greater anabolic effect of the eating window and during sleep.
I know there's a strong correlation between fasting and longevity is that why you fast, RRM?
Yes. For longevity, and for health,
as fasting cleans up damaged organelles and anything out of order.

Sometimes it just takes a bit longer for us to answer you.
But eventually, i will always answer you.
You hopefully have a whole lifetime ahead of you, there is no reason to be impatient...
... now I'm getting dizzy when I stand.
Therefore, I have to make sure to ingest more calories when I eat.
Exactly.
This confuses me, however, as I've read people fasting for days. Are they all getting dizzy when they stand?
In the beginning maybe.
When you start fasting, your body needs time to adjust.
It takes a few days before your body is better in getting energy from autophagy.
Karen wrote:The same thing happened today...although I drank a liter if water...
Water has nothing to do with it.
Water will not prevent it, at all, because there is no sugar in water.
.. severe dizziness,
...
If I increase my caloric intake at night I'm concerned I'm defeating my goal of fat loss.
There is your answer:
You are dizzy because of a lack of energy,
which is caused by your concern to gain fat.
Karen wrote: Im confused, though, as I 'm not sure what I need. Do I need more sugar or do I need a specific mineral like, salt?
Sugar.
A lack of sugar in the brain causes dizzyness.
I really don't want to be taking in more calories
Then you will not be able to fast.
Karen wrote:Update-I can only fast until noon time
... which I find concerning as,I know, periods or how often you ingest energy is critical to both diets
If you do some fasting, its Wai Warrior.
Your fasting window is as long as what makes you feel good.
I started the Warrior diet for the sake of my teeth but should I go back to the Wai diet?
If you ingest sufficient energy, you can fast.
If you (for psychological reasons) cannot ingest enough energy, you need to go back to Wai regular.
Also, I've been investigating mercury content in fish.
... Do I cut back on my RedSnapper and Grupper and just eat yolks as I don't trust raw beef where I am?
You can also eat fish that are low in mercury.
Or just yolks. Or both. (for muscle growth, recovery, just normal diet, its all good.
