Where you tracking how many calories you were averaging during 811? All the people I see complaining that diet wasn't working were all under-eating on it. Doesn't mean that's always the case. It's just what I observed.
Saying that diet gave you bad candida further makes me think you just weren't eating enough on it because a lot of people say that diet healed them quickly from what they thought was bad candida and the real interesting part about that for me is I personally don't think that bad candida diagnosis is real, but in fact a misdiagnosis of malnutrition/under-eating:
Under-eating also not only causes stress, but makes it harder to handle stress.
I'm just saying double check just in case your problems are as simple as not eating enough for your busy and athletic lifestyle.
It's also harder to eat enough on these high-carb/low-fat diets when you have a busy lifestyle because since they are lower in calories, you have to eat quite a bit more in volume to make up the difference. I personally follow the Raw Till 4 diet.
