That is so awesome about how you are getting so much

better! I've been anti-candida for four months now.

I've been doing low carb without a cheat for 16 months

but I still ate dairy, low carb chocolates, coffee

with cream, fake salad dressings, mayo and low carb

ice cream which really caused a problem for me.

During those first 12 months I only lost 20 pounds and

then stalled (I have more than 200 to lose so this is

not good).

After 8 months I decided I needed to do anti-candida

too, but it took me four months to slowly wean myself

off of all the foods. First I dropped all dairy

except my daily coffee, then mayo, salad dressings,

low carb chocolates, etc.

The last and hardest thing to drop from my diet was my

coffee. It took me 2 whole months to wean myself off

of the coffee.

When I finally dropped the coffee the scale began to

move again, and I am now down another 36 pounds in

four months, for a total of 56 pounds.

When I first started this I could barely walk, and now

I can do 20 minutes on the elliptical and run. My

arthritic knees are so much better, my psoriasis is

90% improved, I have more energy, my skin is clearer,

etc.

I love Bee's diet!

two days brewed in a two quart pot. I have more energy!

Surprising! Since we're taught to think caffeine gives us energy.

Another lie taught us since childhood. hrm

Yes, please do. In a few years (since I have so much

to lose) I hope you can post some really good before

and after pictures of me at goal with a long list of

It's wonderful the improvements you have accomplished!

> Hubby is getting the benefits from being on the diet too and says he

notices now how tired he is when he cheats with peanutbutter, fruit or

chocolate. He's thrown out all the bread last month and hasn't eaten

pasta for 3 months now.

How do you get your dh to follow the diet? Even with the improvements

that I have personnally seen, I can't pry the bread, pasta, or

caffeine from his diet.

Suggestions would be helpful!

TIA!

You are very welcome Cory! I have to say it was very hard to get

started and stay with it. I just kept telling myself I could regain my

health if I stuck with it! My program is for 24 months. I have 14

more to go.
