electrolyte drink

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Drinking 6 of the electrolyte drinks a day means drinking the juice of

3 lemons a day.. Isn't it a bit too much?

I don't understand why it's fine to drink lemon juice but other juices

are forbidden. I mean lemon juice is also made of carbs and also feeds

candida, right?

.

[Guest guest]

Not yet!

Lemons and limes are both low in carbs and contain sulphur which help

to fight candida. That's why they are allowed on the diet.

It's not just carbs per se that Bee's diet restricts, because we actually have

many carb choices

on this diet. Lemons and limes are low in sugar. Bee has designed a diet that

is very low in

sugar (sugar is present in grains, dairy, fruits, etc) and the Candida feeds off

the sugar in

those foods. You are trying to cut down on Candida's food supply, while you

decrease its

number with anti-fungals---- at the same time you are improving your immune

system so

that the Candida that remains can be coerced back into it's benign form...and

then it won't

overgrow again as long as you maintain immune health.

+++,

Some onions are higher in carbs than others, but you wouldn't be

eating a ton of them at any one time. They are usually a small part

of a mixture of foods, and not eaten alone like other vegetables.

Green onions are very low in carbs/sugars.

If you find onions cause problems for you, please do not eat them

until later on.

Like I wrote before all carbs feed candida, but it is impractical to

eliminate them all.

Hi Bee,

How are you going? it has been a while since I have been on this site,

I have just been so busy with studying and exams and life in general.

It is so exhausting trying to juggle everything. I have absolutely cut

out everything that I need to in terms of diet and have been eating my

recommed amount of goods fats and protein (even though I have not

progressed with the coconut oil, I eat only 1/2 teaspoon, since I don't

think that I can handle the die-off symptomes right now and have

cheated only twice.

However I have noticed recently that I am not able to tolerate

avocardos or lemons in the electrolyte drink. If I eat even 1/2 an

avocardo I get a severe brain fog and other mental problems and with

lemons are especially worse if they are more ripe. I noticed that you

wrote that:

> +++Some people are more sensitive than others, so they may need to

>

So should I cut out lemon from my diet completely? Will the negatives

outweight the benefits of eating lemons? If I should cut out the lemons

should I just be drinking the electrolyte drink with just salt? Also

should i cut out avocardos?

If I do cut out thse items I will be getting only about 15g of fat in

my diet per day. Is this ok?

Also, the other day I bought a bottle of extra virgin olive oil with

garlic in it, thinking that a bit of it couldn't hurt (the garlic

content was only 0.01%). However let me tell you I felt like hanging

myself after I ingested even this little bit of garlic!!! It was

unbelievably scary and made me realise that I can't fool around with my

diet and this has fortuntely made me more determined to stick to the

right protocols.

And finally Bee I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart

for all that you have done for me and everyone in this group. I think

that if I hadn't found out about this diet my future would be pretty

bleach!!! So again thanks you and god bless.

love, Nithya

+++Hi Nithya. It's good to hear from you again.

>It is so exhausting trying to juggle everything. I have absolutely

cut out everything that I need to in terms of diet and have been

eating my recommed amount of goods fats and protein (even though I

since I don't think that I can handle the die-off symptomes right now

and have cheated only twice.

+++It must be very hard for you. I commend you for sticking to the

diet. You can try 1/2 teaspoon 2 times a day, and 1 teaspoon once a

day. If the increase is gradual enough it won't necessarily cause

more symptoms - try it on the weekend.

++Yes, I think you should cut out the lemons (they also contain

sulphur which is antifungal), as well as the avocados. Avocados

weren't on the diet initially because I myself found I couldn't

tolerate them when I had candida, even though they aren't high in

carbs.

+++You should be taking cod liver oil, which is added to your fat

intake. Also there's fat in all meats, eggs, and most vegetables, so

you need to use www.fitday.com to calculate the grams in the foods

you eat. You should also be having butter, which works with coconut

oil, and vice versa.

Hi,

there is something I would like to be clarified about... Why can't

people tolerate lemon? Is it because of the killing property --> die-

off; or is it because of the carb content --> more candidas ==> feeling

unwell?

.

(ps: sorry for the summary like aspect.. I've been summarizing one of

my lessons for the past hours )

I'm one of those that can't tolerate much lemon. Even though they are

very low in sugars, I still react (as in feeding the candida) to the

sugars in them when eaten in the quantities suggested on this program

- others have had the same experience. I drink the ocean salt water

without lemon.

Hi . Like Anita wrote, some people cannot tolerate 3 lemons per

day because of: 1) the sugar in it, and 2) it contains sulphur which is

antifungal.

How would I know if I don't tolerate it? I drink my lemon and salt water every

day, could this

be holding me back? I have so many persistant die off symptoms like thrush,

bloating,

diarrhea, nausea etc. Should I cut back on the lemon?

+++, you would " know " if lemons cause you problems, since

everytime you have the drink you'd get nauseated and have other

definite reactions. But most people don't have a problem with

lemons, particularly if they drink it 6 times a day (3 with full

meals) as recommended. In other words, the amount of lemon consumed

at one time is less, than if someone drinks too much at one time.

+++You can try cutting back to 3 six ounce glasses with full meals,

and see if your die-off symptoms lessen - then you'll know whether it

is contributing to your symptoms or not.

I only get bloated and burp a lot when I drink it alone. When I drink it with

food I think

the food itself is causing the die off and bloating.

> +++You can try cutting back to 3 six ounce glasses with full meals,

Good idea. I'll give it a try.

Btw Bee, did you ever dream that you were eating off diet foods during your

healing

period.

+++Hi . That was 1985-87 so I don't recall whether I did or not.

Bee

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I've been following Bee's excellent program ~21 months now, and yes, earlier on

I experienced the very same type dreams; when they occurred, there would always

be an abundance of various formerly eaten foods, but mainly pastries/desserts,

and somehow in the dream I would choose one serving of whichever appealed most

(as if my norm), but I never got to taste or eat it due to circumstances in the

dream, or the dream would abruptly end... I might add that I was raised on

comfort foods containing sugar, grains and dairy; and at 53, those foods are in

my past, at least for now.

For whatever this is worth, know you're not alone in your challenge! With time,

diligence and patience a new me has emerged despite the occasional set-backs --

so, I'm writing to encourage you keep on the course. I think dreams may give us

a vehicle to vent, or perhaps provide a way to 'have our way' in a safe manner.

Happy Healing,

Oh OK, thanks for answering anyway! It's not a big deal, the dreams.

They seem to just remind me to be alert to the inner cravings.

Wouldn't that have sugar

+++Doris, only lemons and limes are allowed on the program since they

are the lowest in sugars of all fruits, and they provide other health

benefits, particularly in Bee's Electrolyte Drink. Lemonade would

contain a lot more lemons. Carrots are very high in sugars so they

aren't on the diet; the same for beets and many other vegetables.

Grapefruit isn't included either.

> He also wonders why there is the hot water in the egg drink. Does

it have to be hot? Why so much water?

++The water needs to be warm enough to melt the butter and coconut

oil, but it doesn't have to be hot or boiling. After blending it can

be cooled down if one perfers to drink it cold - many do, and they

put it in a thermos to take to work.

You can put in as little or as much water as you wish. There is no

set amount - the amount is suggested for the quantity of eggs and

fats in the recipe. Some people like it thick, and others like it

thin. The drink is completely adjustable to personal preferences.

I hope that helps.

Luv, Bee

I guess my body knows what it needs sometimes. This is something that I do

occasionally, especially when I feel nauseous or unwell and have for years -

water with lime and salt. DH said the other day, " I'm actually getting use to

this sea salt and I'm starting to like it. "

Lemons are expensive right now and we're on a tight budget. Could I use organic

lemon or lime juice instead of the 1/2 fresh squeezed lemon in this? I happen

to have some of this on-hand also.

Thanks,

Beth

+++Hi Beth. Juices don't provide the same benefits, and they can

contain mold.
