If you have been on the 'sample diet' for at least two weeks without consuming any 'forbidden' food at all, please post your experiences here.

Note:
It is very easy to break one or more rules of the 'sample diet' without knowing it.
So to make sure you do everything right, you should first open your own thread in this diet forum and tell in detail what you eat (every single bite), so that we can take a look at it and give you advice.

Okay i have been kinda on the Wai'd diet for a month and the results are great!!!!. My skin finally smooth with red scars
but what r u gonna do?? My two last cysts have finally flattened!!! I have had no major breakouts even though now and then i have a forbidden snack. The next day or two i would get like a pimple or two but like i said no major breakouts. Last week i drank lots of alcohol so i broke out with 3 nice size cysts!!!

Now they r finally gone!!! and it didnt take them so long to disapear!!
But yesterday i ate good all day till i got home, i had a bowl of cereal and some italian pastries
I dont see any zits yet but its kinda too early to tell. Anyway results are great for me and i didnt even follow it 100% but my acne is mild and not severe!! My scarring is quite severe!!!!!!!!!! i hate the redness.

Oh well hope this helps
Bye

Hi All,
I was one of those people who had to psych myself into the diet. Being a diet junky (I've tried many and failed), I didn't think I could do it. I first cut out all dairy, coffee and softdrinks. Then I cut out all meats except fish (cooked) but bread and pasta was not going to be easy. After about 10 days of this, I decided to go on the pure Wai diet. I stayed on for 10 days and was clear (no new ones) but on the 4th of July I had to eat some bar-b-que. It is against the law in the USA, not to have a bar-b-que on July 4, our "Independence Day". (okay, just kidding ) The ribs were so good though.

Well, I decided to buy the book. In the mean time, I tried going off the diet but my skin got pretty bad. So now I am on the diet again but trying the "munch foods" every 3 days or so. So far, my skin has been pretty great. Not perfect yet but a whole lot better than it was. During this phase of the diet you find out how sensitive you are to "dirty protien", salt and spices.

Best of luck to you. Sue

I met Wai on the Voy forum and she helped me get started with her diet. I am a real BTDT person (been there, done that) when it comes to fighting my acne. I have tried all kinds of internal medications, topicals, supplements, herbs, homeopathy, and diets. Some things would work for a short time and then the acne would come back, usually worse (especially antibiotics and the pill). Wai helped me to get clear in only 1 week!

I feel like quite a veteran now on this diet - over 10 weeks and I have never felt or looked healthier in my life. I have clear, silky skin, thick shiny hair that grows faster, strong white nails that grow faster with white tips, pink nail beds and no ridges. My muscles are defined, my weight is ideal and cellulite is starting to go away. My asthma and other allergic symptoms are gone. I sleep deeply and wake early and easily. My depression is gone and I have abundant energy and stamina. I never thought my face was puffy, but when the edema went away, the change was obvious.

Wai is my hero and good friend.

(wrote this on day 5)
its day 5--my face is making wonderful progress. i dont see any new pimples
(thank god) and the little whiteheads (uninflamed) are fewer today. i hardly
see any to be honest with you (just around my nose).
when i first started the diet, i had a few scabs around my nose (from
picking) which fell off by day 2. i noticed that the area was not totally
healed, however. it appeared to still be very raw and unneven in texture and
skin tone. the raw pinkish area where the scabs fell off are actually
forming scabs AGAIN! i dunno--maybe my body recognized that it didnt heal it
all the way and that is why another scab is forming--hopefully the uneveness
and the discoloration will be less now after this scab goes away. it has
really been bothering me--and i prayed that it would heal up some more (a
scar is the last thing i need now). so i guess my prayer is being answered.
hopefully by the end of the 2 weeks i will be really clear. i am refraining
from the use of topicals--i am not even using any where the scabs are--i
know some people suggested neosporin--but im just using the diet the speed
the healing process and nothing else (which is what wai recomended to me).

Oh, (this is for you complainer who are always claiming you are
"starving")--i have really figured out a good way of satisfying my hunger
while on the sample diet. today i went to the store and bought dried dates,
pinapple, bananas, rasberries, and raisins(EVERYTHING is sugar,
preservative, etc free--only dried fruit was used)--anyway, i mixed this
with walnuts and made a trailmix--BOY ITS SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!! i like it better
than mostly any other snack i ever had. yumm! well--just thought id let you
know that. ok goodbye! Stay strong, the diet is not that hard to maintain,
assuming you have enough determination to be clear. good luck.

I absolutely love going to sleep not worrying to remember to put on retin-a
or benzoil peroxide and take them damn supplements on time. what ####! none
of it does anything anyway--just creates more havoc for my face. well--i
think i will make tomorrow my first night out of the house in a while--im
ready!
ill post my results and comments again in a couple days.

(wrote this on day 10)
This is my 10th day on wai's diet. the results i have been seeing are
unbelievable. i cannot remember the last time my skin was this clear. the
only form of acne i still experience are a couple whiteheads (microscopic)
around the creases where my nose meets my face. i see fewer and fewer of
these everyday, though. my skin looks really smooth and the texture feels
awesome! i am very happy with the progress i am seeing--i suggest that
everyone who is serious about getting rid of their acne to definitely not
cheat (or cheat as little as possible) while on this diet. not following the
diet exactly wont give you the desired results. good luck! thanks wai!

(wrote this on day 15)
This is day 15 for me--i have been on the diet (only cheated 2 times) for 2
weeks. as of 1 hour ago, i have begun to add back 1 food at a time into my
diet (adding back 1 food per week). some of you may be wondering if i am
clear now after having mild|moderate acne for 7 years--and the answer to
your question is "yes" (about 99% clear, no active or inflamed acne at all,
just marks from previous breakouts). well--this diet has proven its power to
me, and im sure it will to many others who want to give it a chance. its
trully amazing what it does. BUT, you must be persistant--if you're not and
you dont stick to the diet at least 99%--you wont achieve the desired
results, i promise. both times i cheated, it showed a day or 2 later.
hopefully, i will stay 99% clear and when these red|brown marks go away, ill
be 100% clear. i will keep posting my results here so people will know that
its possible to go back to eating some of the stuff you are used to eating
(in moderation of course) and still remain for the most part clear. i love
this diet and i will never go back to eating unhealthy like i used to do
before--this diet will keep me in great health as well as keep acne away.
good luck to everyone doing it. take care.

Can't believe it but its true, my skin gets better every day. Still have some cysts though, but they get smaller.
Yesterday had Mexican breakfast: fresh OJ with egg yolks and banana.
1 hour later more OJ and egg yolk.
Then had juiced pineapple, loads of it, with cranberrysyrup. Pineapples were only 1 dollar each.
Tomato with avocado swimming in oil, chopped red onions.
Avocado mixed with egg yolk (guacamole?), love the egg yolk.
Then had raw mackerel and salmon from the day before, salmon was still great, mackerel a bit bitter. Watched tv afterwards, as Wai instructed.
Had much more pineapple juice later.
This diet even makes me feel better, but maybe just because of my skin. Am not that moody anymore.

The yellow heads i talked about before are all gone now.
two cysts have opened up now (yes groce), the others are still there and are slowly sizing down i wish they did that faster
My girlfriend says that my back feels so much softer now That is where the worst cysts are and where they are sizing down faster than on my face
