The Candida Diet. That was my happy moment today. My CBS core leader has been battling a systemic yeast infection for the past several months and has been following this diet. It comes up now and then, and every time she has talked about it I have known it would be good for me. So with no premeditation, this morning I made the decision to begin. I'm following the food restrictions outlined on the website www.thecandidadiet.com. After only one day, I'm sold. This will be good for me.
I made myself some chicken with tomatoes and onion for breakfast, and it was delicious! I actually ate an entire tomato at lunch, and enjoyed it. And I discovered that nonfat, plain yogurt is edible without gobs of fruit and sweetener added.
I love, and I do mean LOVE carbs in every form...well, except in the form of vegetables, unless said vegetable is deep fried. But I especially love sweets, breads and every other form of uber-refined carb. And once I eat a little, all I want is more. I have beaten myself up for years at my lack of self-control in this. But really, I don't feel well when I eat refined carbs. I love them, but they leave me feeling somehow just generally yucky inside and out.
When I abstain, I feel better and I stop craving them altogether. So, I'm excited! Wish me luck!
