(relative) low vitamin C version of this diet

[Kasper]

I was just playing with the nutrient calculator a bit, and than I was thinking that you could make Wai Diet with for Wai standards very little vitamin C and still be healthy.

Would this be a good diet, just theoretical ?
It basicly consist of 40 Macadamia's with sugar eaten over the whole day.
One avacado
One orange (for vitamin C )
2 L water
and some salmon/egg yolks.

I've no idea how that would taste macadamia's with sugar

[Oscar]

Macademia nuts are great, but to eat 40 a day would be far too much considering the amount of aflatoxins.

[Kasper]

Okay, I already thought there should be something wrong with this

How much macadamia's could you eat in a day?
A handfull like brazils or more ?

[Kasper]

This document says that macadamia's are very low in those alfatoxins:

[panacea]

macadamias are also very expensive, at least where I'm at. I used to eat them cause they tasted like candy, tasted great but, eventually they became bitter to my taste receptors (new batches), I wouldn't use them as a staple food. And just my personal experience, I wouldn't eat nuts at all, they are too dry, get in my teeth, yuck. With egg yolks and orange juice I basically don't need to brush floss as often , but I'd still recommend more variety, you never know what information we're missing, there's tiny tiny compounds out there.

[Aytundra]

This theoretical diet, does not meet the minimum of all RDA values.

Numbered in the order I would approach the calculator with.

1) increase vitamin K with, dried plum (fiber might be a issue).
3) increase niacin with, salmon
6) increase vitamin E with, almond or macadamia
5) increase zinc with, pecan
4) increase magnesium with, walnut
2) increase iodide with, more fish (or cheat with iodized salt).

calcium, well we all know we should ignore that RDA.

I've no idea how that would taste macadamia's with sugar

I imagine it will taste like macadamia butter. like peanut butter. Use olive oil, sugar and macadamia to make it, and skip the step for increasing vitamin E.
