was so desperate, and seeing as how you're only allowed 2 enemas per

supposedly equiv to 4-5 cloves daily, and vco. Im doing the diet,

but because I seem to be ravenously hungry all the time, Im probably

having too much, so not the correct ratios. I have cooked turnips

and lots of onions, tomatos, brocoli, green beans, eggs, all sorts

==>Kat, lack of enough good fats will cause problems. When you

increase protein/meats you must get plenty of good fats along with

it. That's not just a tablespoon or two of coconut oil. For my

height of 5'6 " the ratios are:

- 64 grams of protein

- 169 grams of good fats (minimum)

- 54 grams of carbs

To calculate your ratios see the Candida Diet Folder, and using

www.fitday.com calculate foods you eat. You can include your cod

liver oil in the calculation of your daily fats. Maybe try having

Bee's Egg Drink which allows you to add a lot of butter. You can

adjust and of the amounts in the recipe and still have a good drink.
