Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 So my cheating seems to happen the same time every night, and I can not figure out why. Other than some coffee drinking with a spot of cream or goat milk, I can follow the diet perfectly every day and almost every day I do! I can go to business lunches and just have a piece of meat, some vegies and or salid and for dinner I am fine. Then around 10 or 11 I go to sleep and then at like Midnight or 1am I get up like a zombie and go into my kitchen and eat like crap, in every since of that phraze. Mostly Dairy like a whole quart of whipping cream or 1/2 gallon of ice cream, or a box of gram crackers and then I the Zombie go back to bed. The only time I do not do this is if I am in a hotel where I am fine! I did do this diet for like 12 weeks and felt great, but I can not seem to get back on it! Help? What is up with me? Also my second question is am I wasting my time on diet if I am cheating at night? Is all the good I have done undone? To ask that question another way, I have cut and pasted someone elses question that seems to not have been answsered::: So what happened? Did that splurge increase the candida levels in my >body that much? Did I completely ruin any progress I had made up until >then? Thanks, Bob. --------------------------------- Never miss a thing.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Yes, i have read the file and I think my last post that pointed out that I live with up to 8 people most of whom will have nothing to do with this diet explains why I can stay on this with no problem when I am on the road! I am also fine with a kitchen full of cakes, breads and cooked rice dishes and by the way, my 30 year old son has been a chef in 4 star restaurants and he cooks all day. For dinner every night I eat a program meal, small steak, wild salmon add coconut oil and all organic vegies, hcl and perhaps some cod liver oil and I eat sourkrut with everymeal. Truth is I am good from 6am till 1AM. Then after I have been sleeping most nights from 1 to 2 hours, I get up and it is almost like sleep walking and go into kitchen and go crazy. Hey one night it was 3 bottle of baby formula and it is mostly dairy related from ice cream, to one night 2 quarts of whipping cream. A homupathic nuturpath friend of mine seems to think that there is something that is not on the diet that I crave that I may need and my subconsciaus is forcing me to eat??? I just do not know! jeccajay <jeccajay@...> wrote: Hi Bob, Bee has a some great info on cheating and cravings, have you read it yet? http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/help3.php I must say though, I agree with Doug's advice, if you remove the temptation, out of sight, out of mind, right? Well, at least more out of mind than if its right there on hand. Removing those bad foods might make things easier on you. Also, I was wondering, when do you eat in the evening, and what do you eat? If you wake up that hungry in the middle of the night, maybe a bigger meal (with much more fat to sustain you through the night) closer to bed time would help eliviate the hunger you feel when you wake up. And are you following the ratios and taking all the supplements? The ratios, especially the fat, help make up for the lack of energy from carbs, so if you are not eating enough fat, by the middle of the night, your body would be starving. As for the supplements, hunger sometimes is a response to being low on certain nutrients and vitamins. Your body can push you to eat, until it gets the nutrients it needs. So if you are eating foods low in those nutrients, your desire to eat may continue for prolonged periods of time until the need for those nutrients is satiated. That said, I hope you are not too hard on yourself for cheating. In my mind, its not a lack of will power, as much as a lack of proper balanced nutrition in the foods being consumed. Solve that issue, and I think you will find those cravings more manageable. In my experience, my urges to cheat usually came from the fact that my body was trying to figure out a way to tell me it needed something. When I make an increased effort to eat nutritiously and listen to my body's HEALTHY cravings (like for more salt, or egg yolks, or magnesium) I have less cravings for food that can be problematic. I also have noticed that when I first was on the diet, eating no no foods, made it more likely that I had cravings for other problematic foods. So getting on the diet, 100% may be helpful for you too. Having goat milk or a spot of cream, only sets you up to crave other foods that can more problematic. Its a slippery slope. In the morning you may have just a spot of cream, for lunch a glass of goats milk, and then all of a sudden you are eating a gallon of ice cream at night. Sometimes, even though daily cheats don't seem problematic, they have insidious side effects, that sabotage even the best efforts. That said, I hope you find some relief. It sounds exhausting to get up and eat that much each night. I can't imagine how frustrating that must be.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 By by your saying " get rid of ice cream and other cheats " in my house to you mean my roommate, 30 year old son and wife an 4 step kids all of whom I am enabling by allowing them to stay off the diet when I buy all their food? Except for the roommate who is the best of all of them, even if he will not take the time ro read this diet! Not sure if I would kick them out, but it is an interesting idea! --------------------------------- Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Search.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Bob, have you tried taking more magnesium citrate before going to bed? Years ago I used to wake up around 1 or 2 AM and would go in the kitchen and dig in. I didn't have much " bad " food but enough to make me feel bad. Now that I take 1,000 mg of magnesium citrate at night in addition to the cal-mag, I go to sleep and next thing I know it's time to get up. a >If it was that easy, I have a 30 year old son, a roommate and at times a wife and 4 step kids that live with me! >Bob >O <mike225optusnet (DOT) <mailto:mike225%40optusnet.com.au> com.au> wrote: >Yes welll I havnt had any ice cream in my house or any sweet of any kind for close on 10 years now .... & I dont miss sweets in the slightest.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 I second that. Or an epsom salts bath before bed helps my sugar cravings.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 So I think the mystery is solved. 1st, I had to read all the post about not having the food in house to realize how hard it is from me with all the saboteurs in my home and then we I see the power of that, I can fight it off. Then I think I was craving vit C, largely due to no fruit and what brought that home in addition to the email is how of all things I also craved bell peppers and hot peppers too! I am back on track for 3 days now!

I just do not know! ==>Bob, if you are taking " all " of the supplements and sticking to the diet there is nothing else your body needs in order to heal. Sometimes cravings are caused by a lack of certain nutrients, but on this program nothing is lacking, if it is followed. No supplements should be left out, and other supplements are not necessary. The only way to cure candida is by building up your immune system with nutrients, which includes eliminating toxins, foods that damage the body, and foods that feed candida, etc. It is also well-known that sugars and high carbs feed cancer too. I don't want to scare you, but if candida is not handled the next step is cancer. See these articles: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/menu2_1_2.php You are the lucky one. You " know " you have candida and you have a program which will cure it, while many other people wake up one morning and they have cancer but they are helpless to do anything about it. You know the drill Bob! I encourage and support you completely with sticking to your gut feelings about this program. Please bite the bullet and do it.

Take 2,000 mg with water and be determined to go back to bed. If that doesn't help in 15 minutes take another 2,000 vitamin C, and so on.
