Proven
Natural Candida Diet and Herbal Treatment for Candida,
Candidiasis, and Chronic Yeast Infections.
What is the Candida Diet and how can it
help me?
There are various
versions of the Candida diet available, but all follow the
same basic formula.
Native Remedies
has made it easier for you by
creating an easy to follow list of what you should and what
you shouldn't eat to beat Candida.
Will the Candida Diet help me to lose
weight?
The Candida Diet is not
intended for weight loss, but is
specifically designed to combat Candida, Candidiasis and
yeast infections. However, if you are
overweight, you will almost certainly lose weight if you
follow the Candida Diet!
Overgrowth of Candida
causes intense cravings for sugar and starch, which
is why many people cannot follow a weight loss diet.
Controlling
levels of Candida in your digestive
tract will help you to stick to your weight
loss plan, while eliminating sugar and refined
carbohydrates will help you lose weight.
Some
Important Points
When following the Candida
diet, you must make sure that your blood sugar levels are
kept at an acceptable level by eating a substantial
breakfast, lunch and supper. If you find that your energy
level is low or you are experiencing dizziness while on the
diet, it is probably due to low blood sugar. If this
happens, simply add a mid-morning and mid afternoon snack.
Please remember to drink lots of water in order to assist
the elimination of toxins from your body. After a few days
of detoxing, some of your symptoms may become worse and you
could also experience headaches. This is quite normal and
part of the detoxification process. It will improve after a
few days and you will begin to feel healthier than you have
felt for years! The Candida diet should be followed for 4
weeks, followed by a maintenance program as outlined.
You may not use sugar in any
form – this includes sucrose (cane sugar), gluscose and
fructose (fruit sugar). Lactose (milk sugar) to be kept to a
minimum.
