What to eat?

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone

I just want to ask a quick question which I'm afraid might be really

stupid but anyway it's confusing me!

I don't seem to have the gallbladder attacks that I hear a lot of you

talk about. I just seem to have too little energy, bad digestion and

seem to be pretty toxic - although how I don't know as I'm eating a

raw food diet and have been for a long time.

What does happen for me is that when I eat too many fats I get this

headache on the top of my head and get really nauseous and am pretty

out of it for a few days.

My question is should I be eating fat at all? The only fats I eat are

avocado, nuts, Udo's oil or flax oil, so they should be pretty

healthy.

For years when I got involved in the raw food thing first, I got a

bit carried away and ate only fruit for a long time so there was no

fat in my diet at all and I guess I wonder am I all clogged up with

bile now because of that?

I'm having a little trouble working it all out so any help will most

welcome

If you consider you're losing too much weight you should know that

whey is indicated in the PDR drug version (as Immunocal) as an anti-

wasting food. Of course, the body builders have been doing up to

around 160 grams daily for decades, but the reason undenatured whey is

in the doctors drug book is that is creates the master antioxidant,

which destroys toxin load and free radicals, makes the immune system

more robust, reduces inflammation, that kind of thing, and creates the

energy in the cells. I make it a part of my protocol because everyone

in illness has very low levels of this important enzyme, low levels

are connected to most diseases, and elevated levels tend to make them

disappear.

The diet rules are really pretty simple. They fall under these

categories;

1 - Don't eat foods that feed the yeast

---------------------------------------

Avoid sugars and high-carb foods. Avoid most fruit and

starchy vegetables. What remains are red meat, poultry, fish,

some nuts, low-carb vegetables, and most dairy. You can find

a lot of variety here. If you must eat carbs, make them healthy

carbs like whole grains or foods with low glycemic index. Avoid

highly processed food like white flour, white rice, etc. which

have high glycemic index.

2 - Don't eat food you're sensitive to

--------------------------------------

Many people with yeast problems are sensitive to yeast in food.

Others are allergic to nuts, dairy, wheat, fermented foods, etc.

Some people are sensitive to arachidonic acid from red meat.

That's why many recommend avoiding things like wine, vinegar,

bread, mustard, beer, and so on. This will vary from person to

person, so no one can set a rule for you.

3 - Eat food that kills or weakens the yeast

--------------------------------------------

Yogurt (with no added sugar), sauerkraut, coconut oil, and garlic

are anti-fungal. Plus there are a number of supplements that

are effective against yeast: Biotin and oleic acid (olive oil)

keep yeast from changing into the invasive form. Caprylic acid,

undecylenic acid, oregano oil, grapefruit seed extract, pau d'arco

tea, and tea tree oil are yeast killers.

4 - Take supplements to build up beneficial bacteria

----------------------------------------------------

Yogurt, sauerkraut, probiotics (acidophilus, bifidus, etc.),

inulin, etc.

5 - Take supplements to strengthen your immune system

-----------------------------------------------------

Selenium, whey, omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamin C,

trace minerals, etc.

These are not complete lists. You can find a lot of good info

in " The Yeast Connection " and on the web. For info on low-carb

diets look in " Protein Power " , which will help you understand

how you feel during the first few weeks on the diet.

I would also add a suggestion from " The Omega Diet " : Avoid oils

high in omega-6 fatty acids and low in omega-3 fatty acids like

corn oil, safflower oil, peanut oil, and sunflower oil.

I eat lots of turkey, salmon, broccoli, spinach, flax meal,

whole grain bread, whey, selenium, inulin, probiotics, oregano

oil, caprylic acid, grapefruit seed extract, undecylenic acid,

and enough supplements to choke a horse. Most of the time I

feel pretty good. I probably eat more bread than I need, but

I need more than minimum carbs to keep from bonking when I

ride my bike to/from work.

I have had problems with all alcohol in the U.S. I was able to drink wine in

Europe. The difference I was told was, that the European wines do not have

preservatives that are required in the U .S. wines.

Nicely put, Mike, a few carbs to keep from bonking on your bike ride

to work -- I hope you didn't find out the hard way

Seriously I bet it's tough for the more active people to find a

balance between low and adequate carbs without aggravating the

candida too much. If I can help there, I've found out that as you

increase and finally optimize the inulin for awhile it should be

easier to cheat on the carbs.

The Atkins diet allows lots of protein, and you won't lose weight if

you use undenatured whey protein, which happens to be specifically

indicated in the doctor's drug book (the PDR for prescription drugs)

as a weight enhancer to reduce wasting. Whey has been used as a

gainer by body builders for aboput 20 years.

I'm really active too; into backpacking and all day hiking, etc. AND I'm

breastfeeding. I find

that as long as I eat LOTS of good fat, my energy levels are consistently

excellent; in fact,

they are better than before I started the anti-candida diet. The only carbs I

get are from

green veggies. Don't be fooled into thinking you NEED carbs for energy. Fat is a

very

efficient fuel.

[Guest guest]

What are you eating...what types of fats and in what foods? I have just started

walking/running and am feeling better. I have been using carbs for energy and

just living with the candida for a good 6-8 weeks now and would like to cut

back.

I personally am eating plenty of chicken, beef,

consuming some virgin coconut oil, lots of vegetables (cucumbers,

celery, parsley), and occasionally having some rice. That's what

I've been doing so far. I did hear that you can just as easily use

fat for energy. It's tough to go without bread for a long while,

because we eat bread all the time. How do people make sprouted

bread? I heard that is safe. Does anyone have a clue? I'd make it

myself, since I can't buy the stuff here.

I've had the same issue, but since moving to San Francisco where lots

of people I know make their own wines, not so much. Drinking a

friend's homemade wines and absinthe causes no problems whatsoever.

The absinthe even seems to clear up some parasitic issues due to its

being made with organic wormwood.

A friend from Germany developed milk allergies shortly after moving to

the US--it seems everything in the US is based on longer shelf life,

thus more processing and preservatives--and this is no doubt part of

the reason so many people here are chronically ill with digestive

issues. Add in the propensity of US doctors to overprescribe

antibiotics and other drugs and basically you have the perfect storm.

I've never had any problems with food while living in Europe or

Australia (where it is far less adulterated), so here in the US I

really go out of my way to get unadulterated foods (organic farmer's

markets are great for this) and/or spend the time making stuff myself.

" What are you eating...what types of fats and in what foods? "

Here's my normal daily food intake (on an " average " day, when I hike about three

miles,

with decent hills, carrying my 20lb baby on my back. On a big day, say

backpacking many

miles with a heavy pack, all the portions would just be increased and/or meals

would be

added, but I'd still be eating the same types of foods.

Breakfast: 3-4 free range eggs lightly cooked in 2tbls butter and 2tbs VCO, with

garlic,

onion, and a big pile of veggies. At the end I drink a whey shake with inulin.

OR I'll just

make a shake with the eggs, whey, butter, VCO, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, stevia.

YUM!

Lunch: Giant salad with 4tbls olive oil and ACV, topped with 3tbls kelp granules

and a high

quality, free range fatty meat (either sheep, goat, or chicken usually;

sometimes fish).

THEN I'll drink another whey shake with 2tbls butter and 2tbls VCO.

Dinner: Usually light, like soup, made from my leftover bones which I boil into

stock. I add

lots of green veggies and good spices, and have a big bowl late at night. If I

don't eat close

to bedtime I wake up ravenous, and the soup is light enough that it doesn't

bother my

sleep (although it does have a good bit of fat and I do eat a BIG bowl of it.

Sometimes I'll eat other stuff like meat with a big pile of veggies, etc. But

ALL of my meals

are loaded with high quality fats. I used to have real trouble with

hypoglycemia, especially

when I was exercising alot. But now that I'm burning fat instead of carbs, I

literally NEVER

get low blood sugar, even when I fasted for a full 24hrs during my last liver

flush! I feel

much better eating this way, and I no longer have any food cravings.

Best to all of you,
