Why the Candida Diet?

I guess it's my turn to explain my reasons for trying the Candida Diet with Mélodie. Truth is, I made the decision spontaneously. I had just returned from two weeks of vacation and I was feeling pretty gross. After reading Mélodie's post on facebook about the diet I read a bit more about it online. Soon, I realized that I had many of the symptoms described.

They are, in no particular order:

• mood swings
• skin problems (acne, eczema, unexplained rashes, itching, etc)
• difficulty sleeping
• anxiety
• digestive problems which have actually affected my sex life (to be completely honest!)

It didn't take any convincing for me to decide to embark on this incredibly challenging journey.

It's been nearly a week now, and I've already realized a few things. First of all, I have a sugar addiction. I used to eat a lot of candy as a kid, and although I rarely eat candy these days, I consume a lot of sugar in other forms. Often hidden in fruit, flavoured beverages, yogurt, etc. 

It's the end of day 6 tonight and I have to say that I already feel much better than I did last week. My digestive problems are nearly gone and I feel a lot more in my body (and not so much in my head). The cravings are intense but I've been able to keep myself going by cooking yummy food and staying active.

I look forward to sharing my experience with anyone who's inclined to read our blog. Thanks for witnessing this incredible experience!
