Inadvertent cheats on diet...

[Guest guest]

It's been a great challenge to adhere to the diet. I bought the

organic turkey bacon from Whole Foods(i also bought organic chicken

hot dogs which also lists less than 1gm of cane juice) which didn't

list any sugar grams but did list dehydrated cane juice ....sure

enough i craved more than 2 slices on sunday and much to my

surprise, got fungal symptoms of itching and sleeplessness that

night.. i have to start all over again, this is the 5th time I've

gotten to the 10day mark and then I've eaten some food that causes

me to fall off the diet for a few days. or weeks..

This process is more challenging on an emotional level I think

because it involves such a loss of control to feel the intense die

off symptoms of fatigue and brain fog. Experiencing the

literal " dying " off of all those millions of organisms is really

intense and scary...I think we need to support one another more

through the emotional hell that goes along with this process. YES, i

want to heal my body and this list makes me believe it's possible

and yes we need to wake each other up.....even one bite of something

with sugar or flour can start cravings. The candida is an organism

that is very sneaky & wants to survive. I have to be mindful of all

my eating choices. And that's the gift of this illness, I am

literally FORCED to be mindful of everything I ingest.

Thanks everybody, I send thoughts of healing out to all of you!

Hi,

Just wanted to say you are not alone. I've been

eating low carb for a long time and I'm used to it,

but the modifications I have made for candida were

tough. I had to give up my coffee and cream which I

was highly addicted to, dairy, fruit, salad dressings,

etc.

Even though I've been eating this way for so long I

still make mistakes. The other day I used some ginger

I bought in a gar, thinking it was just ginger. On a

whim I checked the ingredients, and second ingredient

was corn syrup! Grr... those food industry folks are

darn sneaky!

If you stick with fresh (not pre-cooked or processed

in any way) meat, fresh veggies, healthy oils (olive,

coconut, etc.), fresh eggs and fresh herbs, you really

can't go wrong.

Any time you try to eat any food that is packaged in

some way, you run the risk of the stupid food industry

adding sugar or starch or something.

In my case the only foods I eat that are processed are

my oils (expeller pressed) and the pre-chopped garlic

in a jar. Now I have to check the jar carefully when

I purchase garlic (I don't have time to spend all day

chopping garlic).

The ginger was bought on a whim trying to be creative,

and was a bad idea. If you stick to the basics, cook

your foods yourself, it makes it easier. Good luck!
