I felt pretty fantastic this morning, eating a beautiful, simple breakfast of mixed berries on yogurt. A veggie and chicken wrap for lunch, and I think dinner will be spaghetti bolognese. Minor changes to make these foods Candida Diet friendly: no sweetener in the yogurt, soft cheese instead of aged cheese in the wrap and no mayo or mustard, and the tortilla is made of brown rice, corn-based spaghetti and no mushrooms in the sauce, or parmesan on top.
It's great, enjoyable food though, and I'm feeling so healthy now. Although I wasn't even aiming to improve my headaches, I have only had one headache in the entire month I've been eating this way - awesomely unusual for me. My digestion is now much better and is especially good when I remember to drink lots of water. I'm still getting the odd stomach ache, but when the candida diet is over I'm going to switch out some of the yogurt I've been eating for oatmeal and see if that doesn't help. Among the symptoms I've noticed decreasing are PMS, tiredness, afternoon fatigue and crankiness, cravings, and acne.
I also think my immune system is up because I keep thinking I am coming down with a cold and then fight it off in about a day. I have also, so far, lost 13 pounds in just under 5 weeks - a nice average of 2.5 lbs a week. Whats more, I've met an objective even more important to me - I've gotten rid of the cravings for junk, taught myself how to eat mostly healthy food and enjoy it, and not feel deprived so that I can keep this up, keep losing weight and getting healthier over the winter.
I would recommend this to anyone, with one warning - if you want try this, you must know or be willing to learn how to cook.
