Eliminating sugar is the most important part of the Candida Program. All fruits, except lemons and limes, are also very high in sugar (fructose) and should not be eaten until you have cured your candida. Some vegetables that are also high in sugar must also be eliminated, i.e. carrots, yams, sweet potatoes, parsnips, beets and others. Even though lemons and limes are allowed on the candida diet, providing many health benefits, they should not be consumed in large amounts because they contain fructose, which will feed candida. Candida also feeds on high carbohydrate foods such as starches and grains, including breads, pasta, pizza, cereals, baked goods, beans, potatoes, peas, lima beans, etc. Some vegetables must also be avoided because they are also high in sugars and/or carbohydrates, i.e. beets, squash, corn, parsnips, sweet potatoes, yams, carrots, etc. These high carb, or starchy, foods store their energy as complex strands of sugar molecules (starch), which acts just like sugar in the body. That is why grains are just as addictive as sugar. After being off all sugar and grains for a few days you will find your craving for both of them will decrease. A high-complex-carbohydrate diet is nothing more than a high-glucose diet or a high-sugar diet. All carbohydrates turn into glucose (blood sugar) in the body, and 58% of protein and 10% of the fat are also converted by the body into glucose. Our bodies can fulfill all of its blood sugar requirements by a diet of proteins and good nature-made fats alone. That is why Eskimos are very healthy on their natural diet of only meats and fats. These are all good reasons why Candida sufferers must eliminate starches and grains, and some high carb vegetables. ==>, I suggest you read my article " How to Successfully Overcome Candida " from which I copied the paragraphs above.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Aren't there other fruits that are low in sugars like limes and lemons? Some diet allows grapefruits and granny smith apples are part of the diet. But Bee's doesn't. Is there other sources that give the sugar breakdown of all fruits? ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Get easy, one-click access to your favorites.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 , I think that if that was true then Bee would have them on her protocol. A person can keep second guessing the protocol and wanting to be able to add foods to satisfy their cravings / desires instead of having to tell their mind / body NO. I think it boils down to following the plan as it is laid out and supplementing exactly as Bee has laid it out and then a person will start getting well. There are numerous testimonies in the archives and files about people doing exactly that - following her protocol exactly and getting excellent results. More than what I can say for other ideas out there regarding eating plans that allow fruits and grains and other such nonsense. I would presume if you want to take your time and need this type of information about fruits ie the *sugar* breakdown of each fruit.. then you can do a search on google.com or some other search engine and discover this information for yourself.

Some people cannot even tolerant lemons and limes, however such small amounts are taken at a time. Grapefruit contains much more sugar than lemons and limes however.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Hey , Check out post #44748, where posted some info on how fructose, the sugar found in fruit can be problematic. I think you might find it an interesting read.

Some diet allows grapefruits and granny smith apples are part of the diet. But Bee's doesn't.

In fact there is more vitamin C in veggies like broccoli or green peppers than in any fruits, except aceola cherries. Vitamin C is also found in meats, but most nutritional programs do not include all of the minerals and vitamins found in meats. The reason this program works so well is because it doesn't allow fruits like others do. Sugar feeds candida, and it also feeds cancer.
