Re: Vegetarians / non-harm

[Guest guest]

Hi there,

I went grocery shopping last night. Bought all the veggies I was

allowed to according to the diet. Bought fish and eggs. Am prepared to

eat those. Assaulted my candida yesterday with garlic tea etc (had day

off work yesterday cause of thrush). Had a throbbing headache all day

yesterday. Thrush much better today (it is day 5 anyway) and I had a

chocolate easter egg for breakfast! I will find no sugar INCREDIBLY hard.

I have contacted a well known veg. dietitian here in Australia and she

is positive I can beat candida whilst remaining a vegetarian. I will

have a consultation with her after Easter.

Have done PLENTY of thinking and reading. From my understanding of

candida, the key is a very strong immune system. Am I correct? I have

had in the past a healthy immune system with no meat and I believe I

can regain it with the help of supplements for a while.

I am always interested in food and nutrition and from the few digests

I have read, this is an interesting and dynamic group. I am going to

take certain things on while remaining faithful to my beilefs.

The thing is, practicing non-harm to others is essentially practicing

non-harm to ourselves. It's inter-connected.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to my original post, it has really

stimulated my mind.

Hi ...fish is a great idea. I eat canned albacore. Giving up

sugar wasn't as hard as I'd thought because by the time I found Bee's

diet, my digestion had completly failed. I couldn't eat anything. I'm

so glad you're starting now. All success to you ! Susie

Hi ,

I was a near vegeterian when I started the diet. I understand you. I

had similar arguments. I also don't like the taste of meat and prefer

vegetables. I tried eating beef but now I only eat chicken, fish and

the occasional mutton. I wonder whether you sprout your grains? This

is one way to increase nutritional levels while keeping carbs low as

when seeds or grains are sprouted they change chemically. Bee has also

confirmed that this is allowed. I do it all the time. I sprout rice,

quionoa, buckwheat, lentils, pumpkins seeds, alfalfa, you name it and

it works and is very tasty and fun. We also don't need so much

protein. My quota is 62. You seem to have a sensible approach. For

sugar cravings take vitamin C every two hours or so (until bowel

tolerance). It worked for me. When you get desparate for chocolate go

for 99 per cent dark chocolate (Belgium is the home of chocolate so we

get good ones here)(you could always sprinkle a little Stevia on it

but eventually you will love the dark taste). Ch does not have to

much caffeine and contains magnesium. You will lose the cravings as

you progress in the programme. Please keep us up to date with your

grogress. Good luck!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but my understanding is that dark

chocolate isn't okay on this plan. When I looked up the 99% dark

chocolate it lists 2 gr.of sugar per serving. It would be nice to be

proven wrong on this one...but I'm thinking it's unlikely.

You are correct as far as I know. No chocolate.

==>Hi Anita. Yes it is unlikely. Chocolate is not allowed. Not

only does it contain caffeine but also it is almost impossible to eat

99% chocolate without sugar, and it is also made in such as way that

it contains mycotoxins (fungi-type toxins).
