+++ Hi Caroline - yes, that is right, but you really don't need to worry about

number of calories. Just keep your carbs low (under 56 grams), protein moderate

(70 grams or more) and fats high (175+).

I try to follow the candida diet. I calculated how much Fat, protein and carbs I

am supposed to eat. My question is, how do I know how much fat is in my meat or

how much carbs are in veggies?

I feel kind of lost.

+++Hi Caroline,

Please do not believe anything the Perfect Health Diet website wrote about the

Optimal Diet that was discussed on this group. They were inaccurate as to how

the Optimal Diet calculates ratios, and so many other things!!

Calculate your ratios by clicking on Use This Simple Calculator which is

highlighted at the beginning of my article on how to calculate your ratios:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/foods8.php

Next, follow the instructions on how to enter your foods into www.fitday.com to

determine the quantities of each kind of food you need to consume:

+++Hi ,

It is easy to become lost since there is so much read and learn.

Here's the article you need to first calculate your fat, protein and carb

ratios:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/foods8.php

Next, follow instructions in this article for entering your foods on

www.fitday.com so you can determine how much to consume of each kind of food,

i.e. quantity of foods. Include coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil, and cod

liver oil intake too.

It will split the protein and fat ratios in meats and eggs you eat, and also the

carb grams in vegetables you eat, but follow instructions carefully:

All the best, Bee

Hello Bee,

Thank you, that is what I've been doing, I used the simple calculator on your

site and I've been using a nutritional calculator that is similat to fitday but

works better for me, it's called " myfitnesspal.com " , and I o input everything I

eat, along with all my recipes and it breaks down the nutritional content per

serving, and that's how I'm staying on track.

Thanks!

Caroline

Hi Bee,

I am questioning fats/oils i.e. coconut oil, ghee butter, olive oil, are

bothering me causing cramps, gas, bloating etc. In fact I am questioning all

food I eat. I did not eat anything today until afternoon when I had cooked green

beans, a little green onion, cilantro with coconut oil. Prior to eating I had

not had any food for about 20hrs. I had a little gas, however, after eating,

had more gas, abdominal pain, cramps, and the gurgling rumbling etc.

Could these fats/oils be causing some of my symptoms, and if so what can I do

about it? I have been cooking and pureeing my food.

After this little experiment today, I am thinking that they may be the problem.

Thank you

Elaine

*** Hi Elaine

How long have you been following Bee's program?

I'm just rereading the very first article on Successfully Overcoming Candida

(always good to freshen my knowledge) and I just read where Bee states that

meats and fats are the easiest foods to digest. Everything you ate (except the

coconut oil) would put stress on your digestive system.

In it, she also addresses fat, esp coconut oil:

" Coconut oil is a very healing foods which will cause healing and detoxifying

reactions. The most common healing reactions are stomach upsets and diarrhea,

which are way the body gets rid of toxins. Other healing reactions may include

increased mucus in the intestines, throat, nose, sinuses, lungs, etc. "

<http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/intro2.php#s19>

Pureeing your foods is a great idea. Have you looked at Bee's liquid program?

To your health

++That's good Caroline. I was concerned that you were going by the Perfect

Health Diet information on the Optimal Diet because you wrote this:

" I've been reading the posts about the optimal diet and how many calories are

supposed to be consumed from carbs + protein, and I just want to make sure that

I got this right. The calculator on the site says I need 70 grams of protein and

56 grams of carbs, so here I've got 126 x 4 = 504, correct? "

All the best, Bee

+++Hi Elaine,

None of the foods on my diet, including the fats you listed, directly cause any

kinds of symptoms or reactions.

What actually happens is that the nutrients in good healing foods help your body

become more able to heal and detoxify, so your body creates those symptoms and

reactions. Those symptoms and reactions are how the body heals itself, which

are the same symptoms and reactions the body creates as it becomes more and more

unhealthy - see this article:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/heal14.php

IF anything on my program (foods or supplements) " caused " health issues then no

one could get healthy on it, and also the Human race could not have survived -

see Food Selection for Humans:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/price1.php

Also read The Function of Foods:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/foods40.php

In fact ALL disease processes are exactly the same as healing and detoxifying

processes created by the body itself in an effort to maintain its health, in

spite of poor nutrition, toxins, etc.

As Taubes writes in his book Good Calories, Bad Calories, p. 142:

" . . .the fundamental feature of all living organisms is the interdependence of

the parts of the body to the whole . . . "

" . . .all physiological systems [body processes] have to work together to assure

survival. "

" . . all of the vital mechanisms [processes], however varied they may be, have

only one object, that of preserving constant the conditions of life in the

internal environment. "

However, the medical industry labels each and every " sign " of poor health as

separate dis-eases, illnesses, symptoms, syndromes, etc. which are actually

normal body reactions and processes. In other words, they are simply " signs " the

body is attempting to restore its own balance.

As Florence Nightengale, the famous nurse, says: " There are no specific

diseases; there are [only] specific disease conditions. "

People on this healthy program are giving their bodies what they need to become

healthy, so they are now able to progress towards health rather than become more

and more unhealthy, or dis-eased.

You cannot avoid healing, detoxifying and retracing symptoms and reactions in

order to get healthy.

All the best, Bee
