Figuring out what to eat has been interesting. So many things that I eat have sugar, sweeteners, or fruit in them! It has also been frustrating when I eat what should be a perfectly filling meal, but since there aren't a lot of carbs, I don't feel quite satisfied. I feel full, but I feel like I need to eat more. I should probably cook up a big pot of brown rice just for the carbs.
Yesterday, I felt like I was going a little bit crazy, so I popped some popcorn (0g sugar!) in coconut oil and then ate it all. It was over the top, but it made me feel a little better.
I've started to experience some of the candida die-off symptoms. I'm fatigued and have had a headache. I also felt quite bloated, and I even felt a tiny bit tipsy last night (and not a drop of alcohol crossed my lips).
I'm definitely looking forward to the end of this cleanse. I will be thrilled when I can eat fruit again.
I'm impressed at the severity of your diet. I did it over about a month, not giving up fruit or honey or carbs... just sugar and juice, and adding acidophilus. But I still got the unpleasant side effects. I probably had so much candida in my system that even a partial change would do it.
ReplyDeleteYou're doing great!
Also, get in touch with Linda Mcartney. She's been dealing with candida for a while too and has written about it on her site.
ReplyDeleteI found Lady Soma as well to be very helpful - the Lady Soma Candida Cleanse. Ive been using it for 1 month and having great results. Its effective.
