snacks

[Guest guest]

Thanks Irene. I tried pork craclings from an Asian market a while

back. YUCK is all my daughter and I could say. Maybe it was the

brand? I will have to see if I can handle the crispy nuts. I've had

challanges digesting nuts before but handle them blended in a

smoothie. When I first made crispy nuts (it's been a while) I was

suprised that I could eat them. However, if I remember correctly that

didn't last long. I plan on trying them again to see. Also, I buy

shelton hot dogs which are nitrate/nitrite free and all natural.

Would that put them on the OK list? Their turkey sausage is that way

too. Although at my local Cost U less I have found sausages

which also come with out the nitrates etc. That was a REAL suprise?

Thanks much. Hugs, Carol B

What does everyone snack on?

Reply:

- crispy almonds and walnuts (soaked and dried)

- pork crackling

- duck skin crackling

- sausage (nitrate-free)

- a very large cup of some type of tea (takes a long time to drink, by

the time you finished all hunger is gone)

- if in real desperation - a slice of buckwheat bread, toasted, with

tonnes of butter

- if that fails, make love to your husband (the endorphins will kill

hunger)

I'm sure there is more, just can't think at the moment...

happy snacking

Store-bought crackling is highly suspect (high chance of rancidity,

moulds, MSG, blah, blah...). If you can make it yourself by getting some

pork skin from a reputable butcher (some will give it to you free, as

everyone is still fat-phobic), and cook in the oven, the taste is just

divine!

Some people, especially those with IBS or Diverticulitis should not

consume unground nuts, as large chucks can get lodged in the diverticula

and cause havoc.

Also be careful with sausages, even though they are nitrate free, they

can contain significant amounts of MSG and other undesirable salts.

Always check ingredients with the manufacturer.

Thanks Irene, you've confirmed my suspicions. :-)

There ARE no snack on the Candida diet. I've rummaged

around those files and have come up with nothing

really interesting. (Well, maybe your last option...)

This is how I handle the snacking impulse. I balance

my food intake according to the Zone diet. That means

roughly 1/3 of each meal consists of protein, 2/3

consists of vegetable, and then there's dash of

coconut oil or some other good fat. I make sure that I

get three balance meals, meaning 20-25 grams of

protein, and two " snacks " of the same proportions,

with the protein allotment being 10 grams. When you

balance your food intake like this, you rarely get

hungry, and the snacking impulse doesn't come up much.

I only get into trouble when I don't eat when I

should.

Basically food is the most important medicine that we

have available to us, and it regulates our hormonal

balance, especially insulin. There's a lot of useful

information on Dr. Sear's Zone diet web site. It take

a bit of getting used to to wake up a breakfast of

protein and vegetables, but it is WELL worth it.

Eating this way has allowed me to be more even going,

have more engergy, and eliminate many of the brain fog

problems that I had earlier -- and it all has to do

with balancing insulin levels. I am also rarely

hungry, and I maintain a natural weight.

Obviously you have to adapt the Zone diet to the

Candida diet, but it's very easy to do.

I didn't mean to go on like this. I works for me so

well that I got excited. Sorry...

Saludos,

Jeanne Marie

Carrots are very high in sugar and it is best not to have them, but

if you do have them only in moderation.

Since most nut butters do not prepare the nuts properly and they

often use roasted one (loaded with bad fats) it is best to grind your

own. A safer alternative are nut butters made from " raw " nuts.

Celery is good - it fills you and contributes zero to candida; add

good sea salt to increase stomach acids. You can try the snacks in

our recipe file although we have so few listed at the moment. There

is a non-dairy cheese snack you can make. You can always snack on

regular foods (horrible thought eh?), i.e. those tiny sardines,

oysters, eggs, salad, etc. Those nut and egg milk drinks are great

for snacks. Drinking teas instead of snacking is a great idea. Pau

D'arco tea between meals is great.

You can make a great mayonnaise from our recipe files (I think it

calls for mustard, and it may be too much; cut back on it or don't

add any) which is great for a veggie dip. The lemon in it also

increases acids for better digestion. Homemade fermented veggies are

also good.

When you crave something sweet or grains take extra vitamin C to curb

the craving. Sometimes when you don't know what to snack on just

have some lemon juice and salt in good water. Sometime we can be

thirsty and not realize it, thinking we need a snack instead.

Hi Carol,

Scroll down in the Files alphabetically and you will find a file

called Recipes. Open that and there will be recipes grouped into

different categories.

I like to drink a bit of homemade soup/stock/broth. Rich in fat, glucosumen.and

calcium, it warms the tummy and feeds the need.

Hello Lelita,

I do not know how long you have been on Bee's program, but there is a

tool Bee suggests using to help keep your fat, protien and carb

ratio's in balance for your needs as you are healing.

The tool is called fitday.com and it is a free for everyone to use on

the internet. You just log in what you eat daily and it helps you

keep track of what you eat to see where you need to add or subtract

fats, protiens and carbs.

Bee has information called " Calculate Ratios " found in the folder

called " Candida Diet & Shopping Lists & All About Foods " . Check it

out, there are other files in there that with great information in

there that will help you. :-)

By the way, once I brought my fat, protien and carb ration into

balance, my body was happily satisfied and I find I do just fine on

two meals a day as long as I have met my quota and kept everything in

balance.

By the way....Bee's egg drink is a real plus, and I drink it twice

each day to help keep my fat intake high.

Another file that may help you is " Candida Symptoms, Help For " .

Just remember it is very important to follow Bee's plan to a " T " . I

have found if I forget to take any supplements, miss an Egg drink, or

even forget to drink the electrolyte drink, I REALLY notice something

is amiss. Once I retrace my steps to see what I have missed, and

correct it, everything balances out again. :-)

Hang on Lelita, keep asking questions. Bee and her moderators will do

all they can to help keep you stay on course and achieve the very

best of health in the process.

Hope this helps.:-)

I understand that the diet requires us to only eat three meals a day.

But I am finding that sometimes I and staving in between meals....are

there any suggestions for things that I can eat between meals?

Also I am finding keeping my protein levels down difficult...I am

meant to be having 65g a day...how can that be well divided over

three meals?

Thanks for your help...I am struggling at the moment because my

sympotms have been worse...lots of bloating and discomfort and head

Thanks again,

Hi Lelita,

Bee recommends three meals per day to give your digestive tract a chance to

rest. With that being said I have been eating three small meals a day and it

works for me. She does not recommend snacking in between meals for the same

reason, most people with candida have digestive problems and need to heal

this. She does recommend a tsp or tbsp of coconut oil in between meals when

necessary to stave off hunger. Your body will adjust to this so the

discomfort is only temporary. Hang in there, eventually everything will get

better but natural healing takes time.

I try not to snack too much so my digestion can rest, when I really need a

snack I usually eat a can of olives.

Juli, My grown son and I are both on this plan and in general don't

get hungry between meals due to the high fat content. One thing I do

enjoy in the evenings though is putting about 1/2 cup of fake cream

into a shallow bowl and freezing it for about 30-40 minutes. You end

up with a treat that has a cold creamy center with a nice icey crust

on top and sides. I use only 1 T. of the gelatin and also add a small

piece (about 1 inch) of real vanilla bean when making the fake cream.

This is like my " icecream and I really look forward to it.

Hi

Kale comes in quite a few different varieties... I buy mine from my

Certified Organic wholefoods store as well as an online home delivery

service. My guess is its from the spinach family as one variety (the

bigger one) does look similar to a bunch of spinach. I really prefer

the purple kale as opposed to the green as it is less bitter. I also

have made crispy kale just by brushing it with olive oil & baking in

the oven for about 10-15mins until they turn bright green. It is so

crunchy & really yummy broken up over the top of any meal for

something different. Or just eat on its own seasoned with celtic sea

salt, pepper & dried herbs. Maybe slice up a clove of garlic & make

some crispy garlic to eat with it.

Kale is a cruciferous vegetable very similar to cabbage. There's some

info at Wikipedia:

Hi ,

Fake cream is in Bee's recipe files. It's a great alternative for

cream - I use it in my Swiss-processed decaf coffee. You can adjust the

amounts of gelatin, ice or butter to get the consistency you like. If

you tolerate stevia you can add a pinch - I can't which is why I add a

little vanilla bean. And no, plain gelatin has no sugars in it. Bee

recommends the Bernard Jensen brand - I used the google search to find

out where to purchase mine.

Hope this helps,

Anita T.

Hi ,

Kale is a dark leafy-green, and I believe part of the cabbage family. It

does come in purple & green, and also a beautiful purple/white. People use

it for landscaping a lot in the winter, and it tastes best when it's grown

in the cold weather. I imagine you could do the same recipe with spinach,

chard, or collard greens.

When it goes to flower, it's called " kale rabe " or " kohl rabe. " Perhaps

you've heard of that? At that point, it is no longer very leafy, but the

stem is budded out and becomes similar to a broccolini or asparagus.

hth!

Does it really taste like cream or ice cream when you freeze it?

+++Hi there. What is your name please? The best snack, which is quick to make,

is Bee's Egg Drink: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/recipes/recipe167.php

The reason it's so good is because the good fats are the best energy source for

the body as opposed to carbs/glucose.

You could also have boiled eggs on hand for snacking.

Put it in a thermos and take it to go! However, if you are sick and/or have

candida you shouldn't work out too strenuously since it takes energy away from

healing. Instead do the milder forms of exercise I recommend, i.e. dry skin

brushing, walking, tai chi, rebounding on a mini trampoline.

The best in health, Bee

Hi ,

Bee generally does not recommend snacking since we should be eating enough at

each meal to last to the next and it taxes the digestive tract to be constantly

asked to work, but I understand that daily life does not always fall into the

rules we need to follow!

The best place to find the snack recipes is on Bee's website, under the section

called Recipes/Cooking.

Hi Ed,

I just wanted to let you know that the files here on the forum are old and are

no longer being updated, so it's much better to refer people to Bee's website

because it has more up to date information.
