Why People Lose Weight on This Diet
Hey, I've got a pretty valid question...
If people are concerned about losing weight in the very start of this diet - why?
It seems to me like this diet WILL cause an initial loss of weight, however as long as you are eating ENOUGH, that 'weight loss' is restricted to WATER WEIGHT and not MUSCLE loss.
So naturally this diet COMBATS 'water retention' and 'water weight'. It makes sense that initially you will lose wieght on this diet until you reach a natural equillibrium point.
Is this true? It seems to me like it'd be easy to keep a relatively 'cut' look on this diet. You're losing all the water weight, and if you eat enough throughout the day you won't lose muscle mass.

Yes Huntress; your body naturally prefers a certain balance of fats / sugars.
Do you want to lose weight?
Trying to keep sugar intake lower may proof difficult, because then you are fighting your body's preferences. Instead, you might want to moderate your fat intake, so that you are meeting your body's preferences.

But not only are we dealing with our Body's preferences, we're dealing with psychological programing. Perhaps years worth of self indulgence and other personal factors regarding our eating habits.
I've had to cut my fruit intake, specifically for breakfast, in order to lose weight on Wai. And I don't do the oj throughout the day.

Quite Honestly, I've never been big on juice. My prefernce has been to 'eat' the orange rather than drink it.
I will say that this may change because for many years I have stayed away from 'super market' juice because of the high sugar content. But, I now own a juicer... so never say never.
I found though that going 90% Wai(occansional sauted spinach with garlic), I wasn't gaining weight but wasn't losing either. Cutting back on the fruit for breakfast (to one piece of fruit- wait a while and have some nuts) whether in a smoothie or a bowl... doing that, got my weight to start going down. I'll snack on some orange slices or other fruit during the day but try not to eat too much.
Isn't it possibly, for me, too much energy/sugar- that I am not using up?
When I reach my set-weight I'll re-think more fruit.

Ehrr, that is the way it should be anyway...avalon wrote:...Cutting back on the fruit for breakfast (to one piece of fruit- wait a while and have some nuts)...
With this diet, you dont eat normal meals, so no breakfast either; you ingest energy only when you need energy, and only a small meal (no more than one piece of fruit in one setting) as all meals are small, but frequently taken in.
Im sorry, but I dont understand your question.Isn't it possibly, for me, too much energy/sugar- that I am not using up?
I understand about the lack of appetite enhancer part. However, the rule somehow doesn't apply to when I eat fruits that are high in sugar: dates, dried figs, mangoes, honey...etc. I would eat them to the point where I am completely full but I would still want to go for more even after consuming fats.
