I think you should have some protein with this - no wonder you are exhausted -

you are trying to feel

good and get healthy on very little food, way below normal. And getting healthy

takes a lot of energy.

Also, cooked pears are a good choice as apparently, according to Dr. McCandless,

yeast

don't like them. And given all that pred. you are taking, you are bound to have

some

yeast issues.

meat/eggs and only carrots (which I think I have issues digesting) with farmer

cheese as the intro I did it for 5 days straight and was so drained of energy,

plus seeing wavy lines and other weird stuff, plus die off symptoms/feverish,

etc.

days, maybe that will help too.

Do you have a juicer?If you do, you can take the carrots you are cooking and juice them instead. I read recently somewhere that when you cook carrots it doubles their glycemic index? Not sure what this means to you, but raw carrot juice also kills pathogens.. specifically yeast.I started juicing about 5 carrots (organic) and put a clove of garlic and juiced that with them. You can add or take away the garlic to your taste, but after a few days I got used to it and could use 2 or 3 cloves! I won't go any higher than that cause it gets REALLY spicy. carrot/garlic juice is good to kill yeast. plus loaded with good sugar for you I assume.-UC - 1+ yearsSCD - 7 months 100% strict and 4 months restricted diet.Asacol - 5 pills a dayTo: BTVC-SCD From: evenstrangerquark@...Date: Sun, 14 Mar 2010 20:59:37 +0000Subject: Re: Avoiding supplements and what to do when going back into flair?
