Guest guest Posted April 29, 2001 Report Share Posted April 29, 2001 If you are hungry then eat. Don't give in to the craving for carbs! That is the candida making you crave what is bad for you. It is not YOU who wants the carbs it is them and they are the enemy. Take something from the anti-candida diet that you like and eat more of it. I have had salads for dessert at times. I keep fresh nuts on hand for nibbling. I will eat vegetables till I am blue in the face. I am a former carbohydrate addict and former compulsive over eater. I still weigh over 300 pounds but the weight is dropping off me like butter melting. I know it seems hard in the beginning to stick with this but you can do it! Just get over that initial hump. You are stronger than the candida! You can win! -adele > I have noticed since I started this eating plan that I am hungry about 20 > minutes after I eat. I mean...STARVING !!

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 It's been my experience that hunger is a good thing. It tells me when it's time to eat. I no longer obey the societal schedules for eating. I have just three steadfast rules for eating. 1) I eat ONLY when I'm hungry. 2) I only eat sit-down meals--I no longer "snack." 3) I stop eating when I'm 2/3 full. These three rules of conduct have enabled me to get a handle on my hunger so that it's part of my life without being a chronic problem. I also use Satietrol. Probably because I'm so active, I'm likely to be not just hungry but utterly ravenous when it's time to eat. The Satietrol calms me down so that I am able to make wise food selections and to stop eating before I'm overfed. Lina, it sounds like you're already doing a lot right. Have you read Walford's books? Two suggestions that have been often talked about here. You might be a good candidate for Satietrol. There's quite a bit about it in the message archives. Also, several of us make a low-calorie pudding based on guar gum that can be a great solution for the hungries. I use it for dessert if I'm not 2/3 full after finishing a regular meal. You'll see recipes for guar pudding that in the files. Both guar and Satietrol extend the length of time before your appetite returns. It would also be a good idea to experiment for awhile with a good basic nutrition software such as DWIDP to ascertain your nutritional status. The "ON" part of "CRON" might be a good focal point for you, since you are not willing to lose more weight. Your BMI is 18, which is excellent. You can considered yourself somewhat "CR'd", but not necessarily "ON'd". The software might be quite eye-opening, if you've never used it. DWIDP is great. Some of us use Diet Power, which is free for 30 days. There's a file about software on our page. Hugs Suz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 You can do your whole body with 1-2 tablespoons. .. . . It goes a long way. The only objectionable thing is that it feels oily at first . .. so wipe off any that isn't absorbed, if any, after about 15 minutes. Or you'll feel like a greased pig! It washes out of towels, clothing readily. What's interesting is that you'll find some oiliness coming through the bowel - after putting it on your skin. ...

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 One thing I want to add about coconut oil, if you have liver or gallbladder problems, coconut oil could be a problem for you. After my pancreatitis/gallbladder attack three years ago, coconut oil is not well absorbed by my body at all, it makes me sick. Also, as with any fat, if you are trying to lose weight, you need to adjust for the intake of extra calories in your diet. Simply adding coconut oil to your daily intake of foods will cause you to gain more weight.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Thanks Kenda . . . good reminder! When coconut oil is used, it's to replace another source of fat . . . The only difference is that it has health benefits when compared to other fats. Olive oil is good too - but not to be used to cook at high temperatures. For Nan, who's losing weight and having a hard time getting enough calories without eating junk, it could be a way of adding calories in a healthy way. The gall bladder helps break down the fats we eat . . . If it's absent, or not functioning correctly, any fat could cause distress.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Rogene, would it be better to eat the fresh coconut, rather than take the oil? I have the picture of you and Sue on the wall here in our little study. Sue looks so sweet, and I am sad that she is still having problems.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Ironically enough, coconut oil, with a teaspoon or two of apple cider vinegar(mixed together or not) are supposed to help assist the fat process. I take this. Also, Weight Watchers was wonderful for me. I have lost 30 lbs and counting. It is not a diet...just a better lifestyle. Incorporate that with "The Makers Diet" and I think it's a pretty good mix and healthy lifestyle. Rogene S <saxony01@...> wrote: Thanks Kenda . . . good reminder!

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Lea, Fresh coconut is great . . . It's just such a pain to get to it though! . . . And it is high in calories. . . . If you can find places to use coconut oil instead of oils you are already using, you shouldn't experience any weight gain. . . It cooks really well . . .However, I don't like coconut flavor in everything, so I cook with expressed coconut oil. . . . it's not as good for you though.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Gretchen, Yes, when I first got sick, I was ravenous. I couldn't figure out why I was so hungry all the time, but I think something in my hormones (metabolism) and/or brain chemicals (the one that goes with satiation?) got totally screwed up. I just ate, and got full, but was always feeling like something wasn't satisfied. Like I needed carbs or something. I remember going on a eating spree with homemade peanut butter cookies. I couldn't get enough of them. I pretty much had most of the same symptoms as you. I remember that heavy feeling...horrible. I believe that your problems are more associated with a hormonal screw up as a result of exposure to the chemicals in the silicone than anything else. It may be biotoxins also, but I think your problem goes much deeper into a systemic whack out that is going to take some time to rebalance. I know mine took years....over 4 years to be exact. I ended up with a thyroid disorder that is autoimmune in nature. So, something affected my endocrine system in a big way, and I had chronic inflammation to go along with all of that. Last week I experienced something that made this seem true all over again for me. I had terrible, and I mean TERRIBLE brain fog last week. It really upset me. Here's what I did differently last week....and which solidifies for me that this is related to hormones: I started seriously taking all of my supplements again after a long break. I took iodine daily, my Garden of Life multiple vitamin, my Arabinogalactan/Manapol powder mix, my thyroid meds, other Garden of Life products--RM-10, Omegazyme, Radical Fruits, Perfect Food, Vitamin C, Evening primrose Oil. I was consistent. Within a day or two, my period started...without warning, without symptoms, nothing. I have not had a period in over 100 days. So, did it start due to my supplements? I have to wonder, as I have not had a regular period in the past year. But it always seemed to start when I got on my supplements. Along with my period came bad brain fog. I couldn't really relate it to any food. Now that my period is gone, my brain fog is gone. My head is clearing up again. I am going to try some experimenting with my supplements at this point to see if any of them bring on the brain fog if I step up their dosing. I will do this one at a time to see what the heck is going on. I don't know if that helps, but I believe alot of your troubles at this point can be hormone related and are going to be swinging for awhile until your body is able to calm down.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Bee's candida site has a recipe for a great hot drink that provides all the coconut oil you need for the day, and for those on a candida diet. I tried it, and it is not too bad, almost like sipping tea. I think it can be addictive in time! and yes, it has lots of fat...but that's part of the candida diet. I am not afraid of raw egg either...Dr. Mercola says that if your eggs are organic, the chances of salmonella are greatly reduced. Here's the recipe: Contains: 19 grams of protein, 65 grams of fat and 4 grams of carbs. 3 raw large whole eggs (or 4 medium), preferably "certified organic" free-range 2 tablespoons coconut oil 2 tablespoons butter (organic or certified organic cultured & unsalted is best) 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, or to taste 1 pinch of stevia sweetener, or to taste 2 — 2 ½ cups of boiled filtered water Put the first 6 ingredients in a blender and add boiled water last. Close the cover well, and blend. Some people like this drink hot, while others prefer it cold. All ingredients can be adjusted to suit individual needs. For example if you are just starting on coconut oil add 1 teaspoon and gradually increase the amount over time (every 4-5 days) to minimize die-off reactions. The number of eggs can be increased or decreased, along with any other ingredients. Rogene S <saxony01@...> wrote: Check www.tropicaltraditions.com for coconut info . . .
