Thanks. I followed the Zone Diet by Barry Sears before I even knew

I had a mold problem and besides losing weight I noticed I FELT

better than ever, calmer, went off my sleeping medicine etc so I

think I already had mold problem but was at lower level and didn't

know it. I went from 145 to 132 and was pleased but went off diet

when I was under stress and had trouble sleeping again due to

stress. My doctor put me on some medicine/antidepressant to help me

sleep. It dried out my mouth and throat and later realized it

suppressed my immune system so got sicker than ever. Now dieting

isn't enough. I feel better than if I don't diet but I still am

sick and (had cancer found this past fall, very early stage ovarian

accidentally found for surgery of something of benign source, an

ovarian cyst I had for years that started to get too large), so no

chemo or radiation but also tested positive to high number of EBV

and now doctor found I had staph infection in nose. In short due to

immune system depression of medicine I am beset with health

problems/infections of a various sorts. If I go off diet and eat

something with sugar, I don't gain weight, I feel sick and have

terrible body aches and pains, even going back to eating bread for a

few days did that. Also now I have trouble with being too thin,

went from 132 to 109 now since last summer. Now I'm trying to put

weight/ well actually muscle back on without much energy or strength

to exercise. I think immune suppressing medicine just was the 'last

straw' affect for me. Anyway, I am fan of Zone Diet. I felt better

on it than Atkins. I felt better having 'some fruit' at end of meal

as dessert. I think you need the nutrition. His theory if it is

after a meal, digestion slowed by protein and fat in meals prevents

spikes in blood sugar that you would get from eating the fruit by

itself, etc. Of course followers of his can also have sugary desert

this way but would be too much for Candida or fungal sufferer.
