Re: Candida Diet...Second Try...Desperately need advice!

Thanks for the post. Low fat to kick candida is very ancient. What's new is the freakish western diet and then this carb cutting insanity to lead everyone into a high fat diet of suffering.

What I suggest is to look at time tested food pyramid ideas about proportions, and take the fat and Sugar cutting to the extreme. Alchoholics get fat guts and fatty liver, Sugar and fat addicts get the same thing..I had to find out the hard way and was never overweight myself...fatty liver kept me from gaining proper muscle and pretty fatigued for years until finally erupting into candida, colitis, fainting, jaundice, hair loss, rashes.

I reversed it completely and have gained muscle mass and muscle tone back with 15 pounds since esentially being extremely low fat since may and then switching, to only the low Sugar fruits (no bananas).

The biggest turnaround from me came from finally after a year of normal liver tests..finally getting unhealthy enzymes and jaundice...from years of carb cutting. There's a lot bad for the liver, but potatoes, lentils, homemade minestrone, zucchini, eggplant, cucumber saved my life as well as ignoring most of the toxic bs carb cutting coconut oil crap on this forum.

So far I've had people contact me that have shrunk down to 100 pounds, had hair come out in chunks, lose jobs, all after starting their oil cleansing regimen. How many lives ruined from what looks like a stupid problem.

While there could me more dimensions to candida/leaky gut control. I find fat cutting to be the most important and least talked about. I feel like my vegan experts might act like it's too much of a quick fix. Yeah it took months because I had cut carbs and jacked up my liver for so long. I have more energy for weightlifting and spinning without eating grains. My liver specialist said this is common. Everyone has their own personal preferences and dietary needs...but cutting carbs to 0 and replacing those calories with fat is horrendous for all livers. Downing excessive amount oils gives any liver the same result.

On supersize me the arab doctor with a bad hairday was so baffled and dumbfounded by the wreckage of the liver that the guy had from high fat diet. He should be less surprised and visit this forum. This is the high fat diet screwed up liver forum. on a pretty much daily basis you can hear about heavy servings of meat, eggs, almond paste and a host of disgusting symptoms. Endless suffering labeled as die off.

80/10/10 is a great place to start. What not to do is follow Bee Wilder's program. 100% the opposite of any mainstream, ayurvedic, okinawa ideas. want to be fit or look good at the beach? too bad. It's for suc***s. Eat some pork fat and buy some antifungals.

So I leave off with a positive. Get on a serious lean diet and do aerobics, candida and liver issues should fade..and you can focus on your professional development. Don't waste months on goofy candida fad diets.
