was: Cured People- protein diet long term effects?

October 23, 2002

(snip) However, she did comment on how that strict diet for 3 years

had a negative effect on her gallbladder, liver, kidneys etc.

This is something that concerns me greatly. I know there is a lot of

controversy surrounding high protein/low carb diets and their long-

term effects. Being hypoglycemic, I feel much better on this type of

diet, but am certainly concerned with its possible consequences. Has

anyone followed this diet for a long term (years) without bad

concequences to their liver/kidneys? If you found a good balance of

carbs/proteins, could you please post here?

Besides candida, I also have seb. derm and rosacea, both of which

have been connected to candida. I already do not eat sugar, bread

(tried one slice of spelt yesterday and almost fell asleep), starchy

veggies and milk.

Thank you.

Hi Lana-

I also have a candida problem, and have been low-carbing for over 3

years now.

I wanted to say that I recently purchased the spelt bread, and it's

pretty high in carbs, and it caused cravings, big time, plus put me

into a " carb coma " (aka I couldn't keep my eyes open).

I am at my goal weight, but I will always have to count carbs in

order to maintain. I was very strict low-carbing the entire time I

was losing, which was over 2 years. I've only been doing the anti-

candida diet for about 6 months or so. I feel so much better. If

I've had a yeast problem all along, then it makes sense that eating

low-carb would work for me!

I have never had any problems associated with eating low-carb. Here

Also, if you'd like to talk more, feel free to post on my MSN Atkins
