Guest guest Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 > > Hi I just found this support group I am on day 2 of my third week of this program. And I am finding it extremely hard, I have a family and they are all still eatting all the crappy food ( that I desperatly miss)and I seriously want to punch them. So I am dealing with Anger and resentment as well as crying at the drop of a hat and sleep disturbances. > > I stopped drinking coffee over a month ago and and just started walking 30 min a day this week,yet I am still having insomnia as well as when I do finally get to sleep I am waking up over and over again. So its like I am not sleeping anyway. > > Has anyone else walked these symptoms and Do you think I should go get a mild seditive or something because Candida is also affected by stress so what good is changing my eatting patterns if I can not control my stress levels. And even though I have lost 13 pounds (which should make me happy) I have no enthusiasm. > > I have to admit I really hate this food. There is no flavor. I mean I use spices but I miss condiments and variety. You can only eat the same thing for so long. Is all of this really worth it???? > +++Hi Lynn, You just joined this group May 21st, so am I to assume you may have read about my program on another website, or you read about it and started on it before joining? I just posted my revised How to Successfully Overcome Candida on May 13, 2011, so hopefully you've read the correct article: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/intro2.php Also ensure you go on this program slowly, otherwise you will get more healing and detoxifying reactions that are not necessary when you go slow: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/intro1.php Are you completely on this program already, including all supplements? Have you ever had insomnia before in your life? Of course while your body is healing and detoxifying itself you will also get a lot of emotional reactions in addition to retracing all of your past health issues and symptoms, which is explained in this article: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/heal10.php Your body will also be more stressed as you heal and detoxify, particularly if you went on this program too quickly, which is what I think happened with you. The foods are actually quite tasty, but maybe you need to join my recipes group and also explore all of the great recipes on my website: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/recipes/index.php Here's the Recipes Group: Recipes_For_Candida_Healing/ For your convenience here's the Candida Section on my website: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/candida/index.php Healing hugs, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can attest to feeling the way you felt. Even after being on Bee's pgm for 14 months, I still find myself getting niggly about other people being 'able' to eat things i can't (er, CHOOSE not to). But it gets easier the longer you follow and the more healing you recognize... (the latest Taube's book suggests it can take upwards of 12 months for cravings to dissipate in some people!) >>Is all of this really worth it???? *** For me, Lynn, it has been totally worth it. Last year was difficult for me with many people in opposition to me (including my own children for whom I cook). But the more of Bee's articles I read, the more healing I had, the more convinced I was that this is my new way of living. So I encourage you to read, perhaps back off a bit on what you're currently doing, per Bee's guidance and decide for yourself whether the OPTIMAL HEALTH you will receive from feeding your body the proper nutrients will be worth making these changes.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 HOWDY LYNN, You must go to Bee's Recipes!!! I have so much variety, it boggle the brain! I've been making my own MAYO. Modified Bee's recipe a bit by adding garlic powder, onion powder & paprika. I eat it on everything! A hamburger patty, pork, spicy chicken, in Deviled Eggs. I also add some extra Bragg's ACV to make dressing for salads. I make my own sauerkraut, so easy. I make my own ice box dill pickles (PEELED) with Braggs ACV & they satisfy my pickle cravings. Plus they get added into Deviled Eggs, Tuna Salad, Chicken Salad, etc. I'm still not happy with the Catsup recipe, but working on it. I also make my own MIRACLE WHIP with just egg whites, coconut oil, garlic & onion powder, extra lemon juice & some stevia. Kicks it up a notch... You need to make some FAKE CREAM. I pour it on anything that will hold still, hah! For a sweet tooth craving, I made the Spaghetti Squash FAKE PUMPKIN PIE. I added some gelatin & home ground coconut meat. I bake them in Pyrex Custard Cups, then freeze them for later. This is so yummy! I mince raw cauliflower, saute it with onions, bell pepper & celery. Then add some tomatoes, chopped garlic & comino, then add a bit of water & steam for 5-10 minutes to make Fake Spanish Rice. For my TEXAS CHILI, once it is done, I take out 1/3 of the meat & liquid, puree it in a blender, then add it back into the pot as a thickening agent. FABULOUS MEAL. Any leftover Chili gets poured on my fried eggs the next morning! CHICKEN... can't say enough! Baked Lemon Chicken, Sage Baked Chicken, Powdered Red Pepper & Garlic Baked Chicken (Hot & Spicy), Fried in LARD with no coating Chicken. PORK, ahhh pork!!! I slow roast big chunks of it & find myself eating from it for several days. I chop it & add it to salads or scrambled eggs. Or I add red pepper powder, organic tomato sauce, camino, garlic & chili powder for Mexican Style Pork. MEATLOAF, 'nuff said! Addicted... hot or cold. BACON, I dream about it!!! Please search the Group for instructions on to properly soak bacon. I have a STACK of bacon, a small HB patty & everything that I would normally pile onto a Hamburger, plus my own mayo & mustard. Everything but the bun. HEAVENLY. I also add bacon to most of my side dish veggies. Spinach with Bacon & Garlic is awesome. Somewhere here or on the Recipe Site, there's a recipe for PORK RIND PIZZA DOUGH. This is so dang good. And you can pile on your favorite APPROVED toppings. I'm still experimenting on making a sort of English Muffin with Pork Rinds... Please do not get dissuaded. Get CREATIVE. I've lost over 65 pounds in 4 months and I haven't been hungry once. Hope some of my ideas will help you stay on course. You can do this!!! DeBBie in TeXaS -------------------------------------- I have to admit I really hate this food. There is no flavor.

I've given up trying since I end up tossing so much failed mayo. I generally don't eat it but some in the family do and they're not happy with what I'm coming up with (have tried the recipe from Bee's site). Would love for you to share the " how's " of what you're doing over there, too. It's fun to be motivated to make food more exciting. Me, I just eat it. Kids, tho, would like some pizzazz in their eats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Thanks for this message, Debbie. I just started this week and find myself, like Lynn, wondering how long one can surive withouth the variety we used to have. I am having a rough time adjusting to all the fats added to stuff and dealing with no dairy and fruit. Rice, pasta, etc... not too badly craving those. Thank goodness. But your message encouraged me in several ways. It's nice to know that after 4 months you still love the food. It's also nice to know that you have lost a good chunk of weight because I have over 100 pounds to lose. Now, I guess I am interested in EVERYONE'S story. So what's yours? Did you start fast right away or ease into it? How were cravings (or do you still get them)? Did you get bad detox effects or have those been easy to deal with? Did the weight come off fast at first and then slow down or has it been steady? Eh.. I am nosy. lol. Honestly, thanks for the encouragement and the ideas. A cream sauce to pour over stuff sounds really good right now... > HOWDY LYNN, > > You must go to Bee's Recipes!!! I have so much variety, it boggle the brain!

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 HOWDY ALL! I completely forgot the FISH! I buy frozen Talapia fillets. Since I am now alone, it's easier to pluck out one fillet at a time. After it's thawed, I squeeze a 1/2 lemon on it, some sea salt & pepper, then pan fried in ghee (butter if you can tolerate it). Talapia is a mild tasting perch & it takes on any flavor you'd like. The BEST part is my Tartar Sauce. Standard Mayo recipe with extra lemon juice & extremely tiny minced onion, dried or fresh Parsley, chopped Homemade Dill Pickles, a bit of Stevia & chopped Capers. I dump the liquid from the bottled capers & refill with filtered water & sea salt. Rinse before adding to the Tartar Sauce. I serve the fish with all the butter from the skillet. It is wonderful to slather on disgustingly delicious Tartar Sauce. Mexican Ceviche... if you've never tried this, I highly recommend it. THE STUFF: Several RAW Talapia Fillets - diced into 1/2 " cubes 1 Large lime or lemon JUICE 1 medium diced fresh tomato 1/2 small white onion, finely minced 1/2 small green bell pepper, minced 1/2 jalapeño pepper, de-seeded & minced 1/4 bunch of fresh chopped cilantro * *(not dried, completely different taste) 1/4 to 1/2 Cup Organic Tomato Sauce 1 tablespoon of olive oil sea salt & pepper to taste (at the end) lettuce leaves avocado slices In a big bowl, GENTLY toss fish with lemon juice & refrigerate for a couple of hours or until fish is no longer transparent. In another bowl, mix everything else, but not the Avocado & lettuce. When fish is opaque, mix both bowls together. Serve now or refrigerate until mealtime. Serve on lettuce with avocado laid on top. I never thought I'd like this, but it is surprisingly FRESH & tangy tasting & a perfect Summertime dish. YES, Deb loves her food!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Hi Deb, What kind/brand of pork rinds do you use for the pork rind pizza dough? Or do you make your own?

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Howdy , There's two kinds on the shelf here in Texas. The fluffy ones, what I get because they break down easier in the food processor. And Chicharones, which are darker, harder, smaller, greasier... but tastier for snacking! I get the store brand, H.E.B. Voted #1 Grocer in Texas. Wish I could find a Salt-Free brand.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Howdy , My story is a book! I'm unbelievably busy right now. Today is my #55 birthday. Two granddaughters are arriving in the morning. Getting the house ready. All precious items must be moved higher than 5 ft. REALLY!!! I will answer after the weekend, if that's OK? I've posted several stories here. In the search bar, you can type in " Debbie in Texas " and see most of my comings & goings. Have a blessed weekend!

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Thanks Deb. If they do have salt in them though are these okay to eat? Bee, would this be considered a cheat if I ate these if it's just pork skins and salt on the ingredients? I tried making my own but they just didn't turn out very good and smoked up my whole house...lol. Bad idea. Anyway, if I ate the packaged pork rinds once a month or something so not very often is the small amount of salt okay to consume?

Whether they are a cheat or not depends upon how many you consume at any one time. I don't know how much is in a package, but a handful once a week wouldn't be a problem.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Hi Bee, Why would pork rinds be considered a cheat? I thought regular salt was not ideal but we shouldn't be too concerned with it. Even the organic butter I have available is made with regular salt. Thanks, > > > > Thanks Deb.
