could not even begin to try and link back to where I first started browsing, one

thing led to another and I am so happy to have found you.

+++Hi Sharon. Welcome to our group.

> I have been getting down lately due to putting on weight, yet I know it is

because I am eating sweet carbs and the cravings are constant. Also trying to

stick to a high protein diet (BodyTrim) and yet, the constipation and bad breath

are putting me off that. I have managed to give up smoking a few months ago, so

I guess overeating goes with that, they say you replace one addiction with

another and keeping a water bottle beside me just does not do it for me.

+++If you consume a high protein diet you will get constipated IF you don't

consume enough " good " fats.

just feel out of control to fix it up. The high protein eating stops the

cravings, but I can go over a week without going and end up in agony there. My

daughter complains about my bad breath and also not being prepared enough to

have the right foods around. I end up just grabbing whatever as I am famished

or it is inconvenient to have or find protein near me.

+++Your feelings of being out of control are what most people feel before they

discovered this program.

of Bee's Natural Healing, it all came back to me and I thought, maybe this is

what is the problem again!! I did the Candida questionnaire which said I would

certainly have it.

+++It may take you longer than 6 months to get healthy again since it takes 1

month of natural healing for every year you've been unhealthy, and for most

people nowadays that is since before they were born.

+++Remember, that this program is more than just for candida, since it improves

anyone's health even if they don't have candida. That is because this program

provides your body with mainly " proper nutrients " so it can heal itself

naturally, the way Nature intended.

> Hi to you all and I look forward to having complete control of my body again.

+++You can, one step at a time. Ensure you read 2 important articles: 1) How to

Successfully Overcome Candida and 2) Curing Candida, How to Get Started:

Thank you Bee. My heart sinks at the thought that this just may be a life time

change as I have been suffering the various problems since I was a child.

My doctor sent me to a Dietician some years ago who put me on an exclusion diet

and found that I was intolerant of wheat, milk, fructose, glucose, etc. I have

been taking antihistamines for the last 12 years to stop irresistible itches

that cause sores and continue to take them. I am told there are no side

affects. I used to get occasional hives as a child also had them a few times as

an adult. I never know what causes them.

I am happy to follow the new regime to get some relief for sure. The problem is

I find it difficult to know what to do in regards to eating when I am not at

home and how to answer people, usually relatives are the worst about why I am

not eating normally. I feel cornered because if you do say something, then they

all suddenly become Doctors and you are left to feel you are following a quack,

which in my heart I know is not true, yet I do not want to be the centre of

attention over it all.

So if any members can share how they answer critics or say why they are not

eating the same, I would be happy to hear it. Also ideas for snacks? I know

you say to only eat 3 times a day, (the BodyTrim system which is high protein

says 6 times a day, 3 mains and 3 snacks. I usually missed the snacks as the

protein filled me up but sometimes you find you are looking for something to

munch on). I have begun going thru the recipes/resources and will continue to

do so while I am relocating to get myself armed and ready to go.

Thanks for your time,

Sharon

Hi Sharon,

Welcome! Try not to think of this program as something you *have* to do for the

rest of your life. After a while, your taste buds will change and you will

wonder how you ever ate those foods you used to love. I've been on the program

a year now and some of the 'grossest' foods to me are wine and pasta. I can't

imagine going back to eating the stuff I used to eat. Most of it is so

disgusting to me now! You'll see - this will happen to you, too.

If you know you will be away from home at meal time, just remember to prepare

something to bring with you. Let a thermos become your friend!

If people ask you why you are eating this way, you can simply tell them that you

are doing this to feel better and leave it at that. If they continue to pester

you, change the subject. You don't have to answer to anyone! Just do what you

know is the right thing for you.

At this point I feel confident enough to stand my ground with anyone who

criticizes me. But I know in the beginning it is hard. Not everyone will agree

with you, but if it makes you feel better, then they should see that you should

continue with it. If not, I suppose it really doesn't matter. In the end, you

have to make yourself happy.

Bee doesn't generally recommend snacking, because you need to give the body time

to digest your food and then to relax until the next meal. You don't want to

continue asking your body to digest more and more food. In the beginning,

though, you might feel extra hungry and need a little something to get you

through until the next meal.

You could have leftovers from the previous meal, some broth with coconut oil in

it, a poached egg, Bee's Egg Drink, some butter. Just this morning I discovered

a delicious crunchy idea. I fried side-pork until it was crispy. I put a good

amount of sea salt on it, so it was salty (almost like bacon). When it cooled

to room temperature, I slathered it with butter. Talk about yummy! I had this

for breakfast with a egg, but I imagine that this could be something you have as

a snack in the beginning. After that, you really shouldn't snack.

Hope that helps!

+++Hi Sharon. I understand doing this program is a big reality adjustment. As

wrote, over time your taste buds will change and you won't miss those

bad foods.

+++All skin eruptions, including hives, itching, etc. are toxins coming out

through the skin. See this article to understand it:

+++Avoid getting into discussions or details about your diet. I used to say

" sugar (or whatever) doesn't like me. " Since they understand allergies, you can

say you are allergic to such foods. It is best to keep your replies simple and

be very " matter-of-fact " to avoid conflicts. Changing the subject works too.

+++Most relatives good intentions but they are very misinformed about what is

" truly normal " for humans to consume. Sometimes you can stop further

questioning by thanking them for being concerned about you and for caring for

you.

Also ideas for snacks? I know you say to only eat 3 times a day, (the BodyTrim

>Hi Sharon,

I just say, that I know this diet is drastic, but I had to take drastic measures

to feel better. At my age, I had tried other ways of eating, but only this way

helped me. When I tell them the benefits I received, they sometimes ask me for

more info. Hope this helps.

**** Hi - couldn't resist a comment on this - this has always been both

interesting and amusing to me.

Where I work we have a small cafeteria. One afternoon I was in there fixing my

afternoon electrolyte drink. A co-worker came in and watched what I was doing

and said " that looks way too healthy for me " and headed towards a box of donuts

that was left there for people to consume. My response was " so have a donut " -

which she did.

But seriously, my response to people who make comments on what I am eating is

simply - " this is how I want to eat " - end of discussion.

> You have no critics but you..... If you are eating the good stuff who cares

what others think? Are they going to take care of you when you are sick? Pay

your bill? Take care of your home? Tell them thanks for their concern and order

up another good piece of good meat or fat and take another spoonful of VCO.

Check all your supplements. Read and reread Bee's information.

It will work and even though you don't know me, trust me.

Thank you to all for your helpful advice. I do usually do what I want to do,

but there are times when I feel vulnerable and pushed to defend myself.

This is no one's problem but my own. I intend to work on that.

Your support is very much appreciated.

Cheers,

Sharon

****Sharon - just one more comment if you don't mind.

I totally understand your feelings - people can " try " to do that to us.

I think that there are basically two groups of people - those that see you

eating " healthy " foods and know that they are not - and don't want to give up

their sugar and junk food - and want to just criticize how you eat - and those

that are not eating healthy and are curious (like said).

A few years ago when I first was learning about candida and healthy eating I was

really excited about what I was learning (still am) - and I tried to " educate "

everyone who asked about my eating - most of them looked at me like I was from

" outer space " - obviously not interested. There were a few who were interested,

would listen and we could have a good discussion.

What I learned from this was that there is a discernment that needs to take

place - you know who is truly interested and who just wants to be critical to

make themselves feel better about their bad eating habits - and try to make you

feel bad about yours.

So - I would also agree with Neal - " I don't care what others think " - and while

it may be hard when people - especially people who are close to you - give you a

hard time - remember that you are doing what is best for you - you can respond

with - this is how I want to eat, this is what makes me feel good and healthy!
