| Azure 09-18-2002 01:43 PM | Dear Miss Wai: This is my third day on the diet and my skin looks amazing! BUT - I just finished a course of Accutane 3 days ago and I am not sure if what I am seeing are the results of Accutane or diet. Here is what happened, three days ago my skin was somewhat red and would flush very easily. Now my skin is very white and radiant. I feel like the overall quality of my skin has improved. I have been sticking very strictly to your diet, and nothing went into my mouth other than what you specified. However, on the Accutane package it also says that my skin will continue to improve for two months after I stop taking the medication. But I know that I would occasionaly get a pimple or two while on Accutane so I am hoping while I am on this diet I will not get a single pimple and achieve perfect skin quality. If this diet really works for me (which I think it will), I will eat like this for the rest of my life - or until I won't care about my skin anymore. This diet is very easy for me since I really don't care about food anyway, the only problem is that I have to think ahead by shelling nuts and thinking how I am going to eat when I am out or when I travel. But believe me, I will not cheat whatsoever, if there is nothing acceptable to eat around then I'll just go hungry. |

| Anonymous 09-29-2002 01:45 PM | Mrs Wai Well Mrs. Wai, I am 1 week into the sample diet. It has been going pretty good. My face seems to be clearing up well, but I still always seem to have at least one pimple, or zit on my face. I am following the diet very closely. Fruit all day, brazil nuts, salad(lettuce, tomato, cucumber, fresh carrots) with avocado. However instead of eating egg yolk or sashami, I am using a B-12 supplement. Could this be the reason why I cant seem to fully get rid of this acne? How many mg's of B-12 supplement is enough or too much? Is there anything that I am doing wrong? Or not doing? Thanks for your help. |
| Wai 09-29-2002 01:55 PM | quote:It IS possible, but you can also wait till the 2 weeks are over. Then you may have totally cleared up despite the B12 supplements. quote:There is a lot of discussion about how much B12 is really required. In practise, radical vegans even have been able to ingest no B12 at all, for decades, except for the B12 present in the feces of insects present in poorly washed lettuce etc. They say we need about 2 microgram a day (1,000 microgram = 1 milligram (mg's)), but it is probably less... quote:The Brazil nuts that you eat, do they come in the shell, and do you crack and take the shell off personally? |
| Anonymous 09-30-2002 10:35 AM | Ms. Wai, The nuts are in the shell when I get them, and I personally shell them my self |
| Wai 09-30-2002 12:05 PM | Great. So then you just need to be patient. You have seen your skin improve, so, you are doing the right thing!!! |
