Guest guest Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Hey Ang! Welcome to the group! I too am new; however, for the past 6 months now I have been stirfrying my veggies in CO and sesame seed oil (for flavor) and yes, it seems a bit oily, but my skin, hair and nails sure have reaped the benefits of it *laughs*. As Bee has stated in her many articles, these are nature-made fats and they are beneficial to our bodies. So enjoy! with Metta, ~Lori~ > > Hi there, just starting out on the diet with some very gradual > changes.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Most of us have been taught over the last years that fat is bad, fiber is good -- it does take some getting use to this change in thinking. I think about the way we had all the fresh vegies from our own garden, milk, butter & cream fresh from our own milk cows, meat & lard from our own livestock. Then we became 'enlightened' & thought all that fat was bad. It makes sense that God would give us to eat what is good for us & yet we sometimes think we know better -- duh!!

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 This is sooooo true. I can not believe for how long I thought I was doing right by my self for always opting for the low fat, unsaturated oils! It wasn't an easy transition either but I am so much wiser in matters of health now.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Thanks to those that replied. I am trying firstly to increase having green vegies with protein at both lunch and dinner. I'm having stevia in my coffee instead of sugar and just trying not to have any sugary/carbohydrate snacks. These are the only changes that I've managed to do so far seeing as I've only been on the diet 2 days. For those of you with experience what could I cut out next, seeing as I'm trying to do this very gradually as I'm worried about die off and also thought that I might manage the transition better if I do it slowly. thanks Ang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Hi Ang, You are wise to gradually ease into this program because if you move too aggressively die-off will be extremely uncomfortable (I know). Our moderator Debby started by eliminating one thing a week with coffee being the last thing to go and she was able to transition very comfortably. So make yourself a plan and stick to it!

It's funny my doc said you cant have dieoff for more than a few days...it must be something else...boy was he wrong.. take our advice from people who hav been there..begin slowly Thanks...

You are starting out very well. Keep up the good work. Please print out " Candida, How to Get Started " which is in the 1st Folder in our Files (left menu), which will help you understand how to go about it, and how to make your own plan correctly.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 For me going slow is very important. It helps you transition mentally and physically. You make this a permanent life style change rather than some spontaneous thing you do on a whim, get really sick from, get discouraged and then stop doing. I spent 4 months gradually pulling things out of my diet, and I was already on a low carb diet before that (Atkins). Once I got all the bad things out of my diet, I didn't start the coconut oil, probiotics, antifungals or raw garlic until 6 months into it. I've never had really bad die-off symptoms at all, just a gradual improvement in how I feel. Mostly just occassional gas and gas pains after taking some foods.
