Re: Re: candida diet might be low-carb but isn't low-calorie -- was Does lowering your carbs also lower your energy?

[Guest guest]

One

of the things to remember when dealing with a candida overgrowth is that you

may need to cut back on the high-carb foods, but you eat more of the lower and

medium carb foods to compensate. And add more fats, if possible.

You still want and need the calories to supply energy for your body. You

just choose different foods and eat a lot of them.

A

candida elimination diet could be considered low-carb, but it isn’t

low-calorie. You have to eat a lot more of those foods that are low to

medium carb, and you need to increase the “good” fats, in

order to maintain the calorie count that your body requires. You also

might need to eat more frequently in order to maintain the day’s calorie

count.

I

don't know a lot about candida, but I thought that it was more important to

eliminate certain types of carbs than carb totals, though I could be wrong, and

I'm sure you don't want to go overboard on your carb intake. How many carbs

were you having before?
