How To Cure Candida Experiment - The Candida Diet

OK, so now we've downloaded the basic version of How To Cure Candida and it looks really good.

Well laid out and in easy to read language.

There is the 5 step protocol that they talk about in the sales page, but there are also earlier chapters dedicated to Candida, the good, the bad and the ugly.

There are chapters dedicated to different treatment options for Candida, cleansing and detoxing.

We start with the Candida Diet.

I guess the idea is to hit the fungus hard by starving it of all the stuff that it usually gets for free from our diet.

We have a couple of rules of our own before we begin the candida diet;

• It has to be practical
• It has to fit in our budget
• It has to be done in moderation - eg we will not make ourselves sick by not eating enough to keep up with our energy requirements.
• It has to taste OK - life is too short to hate the food you eat!
• Under no circumstance am I giving up at least one cup of white coffee a day!

For the record, our current diet is usually pretty healthy, mostly meat, salad sensible carbo's. Sandwiches for lunch blah blah blah. So I thought that this should be a breeze.

Uh Uh.

It is easier to point out what we are allowed rather than say what we aren't allowed.

For the first two - four weeks on the Candida diet we are allowed; (I think that I've got this right...)

• Green stuff - lettuce, kale, broccoli, peppers, silverbeet, spinach, cabbage, cauliflower. (I'm sure there are more, but we are being practical here).
• Onions,
  
• Garlic, Ginger, most other herbs, some spices.
• Eggs - in moderation
  
• Nuts and seeds - straight from the supermarket or health store. Raw nuts and seeds break the 'practical' rule. We don't have peanuts as per the Candida diet.
• Unsweetened natural yogurt complete with live cultures,
• Chicken and fish.

Coffee will be knocked back to two mugs a day. After that we will have white tea.

Here we go......
