Guest guest Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Hi Carolyn, In order to get rid of your candida overgrowth, all foods that feed candida (including sugar, honey and potatoes) must be eliminated from your diet. To put it plainly, if you eat any of these things you are simply feeding the candida! If you continue to eat things like cookies (no matter what their ingredients), they will still " feed " your craving for sweets...so yeah, say good-bye to cookies. Even though stevia is allowed as part of Bee's plan, it should only be used in small amounts. The goal is to elminate sweets...and trust me, your taste buds eventually change and your cravings for sweets will dissipate. Start eliminating things slowly, not only will it help ease die-off symptoms but it eases you into the whole program. It doesn't really matter if potoatoes go first or sugar goes first because they both need to go. Some of this is as much of a mental process as a physical one. Our moderator, Debby has some great ideas on how to handle the mental parts of the food elimination if you need support with that. jackie > When I eliminate sugar would leaving potatoes in be likely to cause > sugar cravings, or would it be ideal to remove both sugar and potatoes > at the same time? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used it in small amounts the past and was sure I was getting a candida reaction. Any thoughts? Thanks, Anita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 ==>Hi Carolyn. My you've been with our group since 2005 and you are only now deciding whether to eliminate sugar?? > > I plan on eliminating sugar soon, and I have some questions. I > haven't decided whether I'm going to eliminate honey or not. > When I eliminate sugar would leaving potatoes in be likely to cause > sugar cravings, or would it be ideal to remove both sugar and potatoes at the same time? ==>Please read my article which explains the above quite well (it's in the 1st folder in our group's files). You eliminate all types of sugars as well as potatoes. > > How do you substitute stevia for sugar. For example, I have a cookie recipe that is gluten/dairy/soy/corn free, but calls for 1 cup of white sugar and 1/2 cup of brown sugar. How do you substitute for > these types of sugars or am I'm just going to have to say goodbye to cookies? ==>You do not make or eat cookies at all on this diet. I suggest you get serious about this, if you in fact have candida or you are unhealthy. The next step after candida is cancer - see articles in our Files.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Yes, for some eliminating sugar isn't just about the tough cravings. I have sensory processing disorder and therefore have a limited diet which has made it tough to eliminate sugars. Many may not understand, but for example if just eating one bite of salad can just about make you puke, it's hard to go to a Candida diet. So yes, I'm just now eliminating sugar after I've been doing chelation therapy for a little over a year and have seen quite a bit of decrease in my oral sensory hypersensitivity. > > ==>Hi Carolyn.

It is a lot easier to act ourselves into new thinking than to think ourselves into a new action.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Hi Carolyn, I'm happy to help. In order to give you some ideas, I'll need to know more about what part you are struggling with. What are your triggers for eating off plan? Is it stress, boredom, lack of planning, recipes, hunger or something else?? If you'd like we can take this off list if you'd like it to be more private. But if you share this on the list I'm sure there are others who would be helped by any answers I can provide for you. But to give you an idea, for starters staying on track requires good strategies. You can think of the bad foods as enemies in a war and your strategies are your weapons. The first defense is *always* being prepared. This covers so many problems that this simple thing is just about the one thing that takes care of everything. So what I do is I start my day with preparing all my food for the day, packing it up and taking it with me every where. This way I'm never in a situation where I have nothing appropriate to eat. When hunger strikes, my food is right there so I can get it out of the way quickly. I also eat well before ALL social situations that will have food available, as well as before cooking for my husband. I often cook him tempting things like homemade french fries and fried bananas so being on an even keel is very important for me. So planning takes care of most issues with temptation for me. Having a strong mind set helps as well, because I have a goal to lose a lot of weight. So I have learned to change my thinking about food and see that it is just fuel, and isn't going to entertain me, get rid of my stress or do anything for me other than provide nutrition for my body. I've also learned a slew of things to say to deal with social situations, to have emergency food planned for those really difficult situations, have a routine that is very easy to follow and many other strategies. The strategies that will work for you will depend on what you need, which is why I need to know more on your situation. In the past 2 years I've cheated 4 times, which is pretty good for me considering in the past I cheated much more frequently. Each time I cheated I only cheated with dairy and processed meats which to me aren't as bad as say having sugar or grain and I got right back on plan after the one cheat. I did not use the one screw up to go and have another one and another one. But I don't go out looking for reasons to cheat, like holidays, hard times, etc. Because I know there will be plenty of opportunities for me to screw up without giving myself permission, you know? So I can give you the strategies, and reasons why you would want to do this, and lots of pep talks, but the one thing I can't give anyone is the " want " . You really have to " want " to do this, to be healthy, to lose weight, more than you want any food like chocolate cake. When you truly see how much more you will get from life by being healthy, you will realize you are not deprived and your actions will follow and you'll be able to follow this. Hope that helps...
