Guest guest Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Hello, I have been following the diet for 10 days now -- through and through. Not like I did a few years back, just picking and choosing. During those 10 days, I have been starving and it's making me miserable. I shop for the foods on the list and drink the tea, eat the coconut oil -- I'm still starving. I want to eat and eat and eat. I eat vegetables. Sheesh. I think I'm turning into a protien product and a veggie product. And when I do eat the foods I'm supposed to eat -- I don't feel satisfied. It's really annoying. Thanksgiving I stuck to what I was supposed to eat -- still felt hungry. The next day, I went out to a restaurant to do a small experiment -- I ate whatever- to spare those who are doing very well, I will not write what I ate -- I felt full and satisfied, but the next day felt like crap. I feel as if I am damned if I do and damned if I don't. Yes, I am irritated because I used to take great pleasure in cooking. I used to experiment with different types of foods and had a ball eating what I made. Now, I feel like I live in a society where EVERYTHING is made with gluten products, or wheat, or sugar. I go to the store and can't purchase anything because it contains sugar. I wanted a little wasabi and lo and behold, there is the dreadful sugar. I figured I go look at the kraut -- sugar in it. This is just the tip of the iceberg -- I don't like going to the grocery store anymore. I would like to regain what little enjoyable feeling is left for cooking. I really would. I read Bee's files and see what others are eating. I just want to feel full again. That's all. I even went as far as growing my own garden and my hubby said that we are going to get chickens in the spring. I'm excited. And after that whole restaurant experience -- I learned that omitting sugar is something that I do want to do. The minute I returned home and got the gross feeling to pass. I had an egg drink with 3 tablespoons of coconut oil and felt better. Is this normal to feel irritated and .... irritated? LOL. I know that someone is going to say to increase fats. I already eat what is recommended. I eat up to 6 tablespoons of VCO. I eat meats and vegetables, but don't ever feel satisfied. What do I do? ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Be a better pen pal. Text or chat with friends inside .

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Hi , I get this as well, I think it's the unfortunate part of the healing and die off process. You get to a point where you can eat and eat and eat and not actually feel satisifed or not for long before you go down another meal. I dont know how long it takes for this to settle but I know that yeast is a battle and it's a time of great testing. Youll be tempted to eat almost anything, even some of the healthy foods that you know you cant have because they still feed yeast. Giving in is not worth as youre aware, but going through it is a trial and can definitely make you feel miserable. I think youre doing really well but this maybe something you might have to grin and bear for a while. Im not into cooking myself, but Im still frustrated by not being able to just go fix myself a quick snack or something. Im always having to go cook something up, though I can eat salads which is something. I just think its a battle when yeast is crying out for food which we interpret as " real hunger " when it's not. I dont know what to say other than hang in there and fight the good fight. > > Hello, > > I have been following the diet for 10 days now -- through and through.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 What you are experiencing is very normal. When I did a strict candida diet back in 2001 for 5 months, after one month, everything tasted delicious that in the beginning tasted like crap. Your tastes and your body will adjust to this. I know what you mean... although I'm slowly transitioning into the diet, I was feeling " okay " for a few days, and then on Thanksgiving, I ate a big plate and really felt exhausted, fatigued and horrible for 2 days. YOu're not damned-if-you-do or don't. Stick to the diet, and get better, and then in the future you will be able to cook and enjoy eating again, but you will do it in a healthy and more natural way. I recommend buying a lot of herbs and spices from Mountain Rose to help make the meat and veggies taste better, and experiment with them. > > Hello, > > I have been following the diet for 10 days now -- through and through.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Hi , Sorry to hear you are so hungry, and you are right, someone (me) is suggesting that you eat more fat. Here is why. If all you are eating is 6 tbs of VCO, this is not enough, most likely. Have you calculated your ratios yet? You say you eat what is recommended, does that mean you are eating by the ratios? My ratios, based on my height, recommend that I eat up to the equivalent of 20 tablespoons a fat a day. Granted fat is also in meat and eggs, so I am not eating that much butter and VCO, but it is still a lot more than 6 tbsp. I would recommend you check out your ratios again, and see what it recommends and load up on the fats. Also make sure to do bees electrolyte drink. Our body's need salt especially if we have adrenal fatigue issues and its easy to mistake our bodies need for salt as hunger. Additionally, poor protein digestion will lead to hunger as well. You might want to try adding HCl to help with protein digestion and see if that helps too. As for cooking, I use to LOVE to cook myself. It took me awhile to get over the disappointment of not being able to cook like I use to but now, its fun again. I make my own kimchi, I love making bone broths, and I experiment with spices. Its hard to make the transition, but I am more of a creative cook now then i ever use to be and it has made me love cooking all the more. It is hard at first to see all the stuff we can't use, but after awhile the challenge of it will hopefully inspire your creatively, and you will find yourself enjoying yourself in the kitchen again. At least this was my experience. Additionally, you might want to check out the recipe files. There are some great recipes in there that might spark your interest and get you going again in the kitchen. As for irritability, yes, unfortunately it is a symptom but it gets better as you get further on the diet. But boy it can make the first stage of the diet frustrating. Hang in there though. You can do it, and as many of us can attest to, Bee's diet is well worth the effort.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 > > I've been on the diet for over a year now and I'm always hungry. I can't seem to get enough to eat. I don't crave carbs I crave protein. My protein should be 75 but I eat twice as much sometimes even more. Fats is 188 and I stay within range. carb 37 which I never go over usually it's below 20. Is there anything I can do or is it ok to eat so much. +++Hi Colleen, It is okay to eat that much protein since your fats are high enough.
