Re: losing weight fast and i eat lots of meat and fat - help please
Well, you're going to have to fix your digestion somehow.
Fruit technically feeds Candida but several people on the board used fruit diets to beat Candida. The Barefoot fruit fast would also allow you to eat each day (1 big meal).
Regarding the water only fast. I've heard objections like yours before and the people who tried it, it always helped. It would have to be supervised and "oked" by someone with experience though, but don't take your doctor's word for it.
You might be able to fix your digestion (partially) with other methods:
1) You can use a digestive liver tonic (read Dr Charlie forum) before meals with meat/protein.
2) You can try digestive enzymes (any health food store).
3) I'd also eat a LOT more organic, lots of salads and lentils (and beans / legumes in general).
The fruit and water-only fast is the best and only permanent way to fix your indigestion. The water-only fast(s) will have to be done eventually if you want optimal health.
