Diet

My diet initially consisted of no sugar, no alcohol and only gluten free grains.  However, I found after several months that I would have to remove all grains/carbs.  I also removed soy from my diet and began incorporating in unsweetened coconut milk, which is supposed to have caprylic acid.  I still eat nuts including: almonds, pecans, and walnuts however; I avoid peanuts.  Also, I eat pumpkin seeds.  I am pretty much on the Atkins diet.  The other item I’ve not been able to give up is coffee… With my chronic fatigue like symptoms, I desperately need the caffeine.  I’ve read that one cup of coffee a day will not hinder your candida progress (but then again, I’ve also read coffee/caffeine is evil) but I’m going with the first opinion for now.  I do not eat any fruit… with the exception of lemons, limes and blueberries.

Typical Breakfast: Avocado or Bacon and Eggs with unsweetened coconut milk

Typical Lunch: Leftovers from dinner the night before

Typical Dinner – Chicken/Fish/Turkey and a green vegetable

Typical Snack – Pumpkin Seeds or a small imitation cereal (mixed crushed almonds, walnuts, and pecans with about a dozen fresh blueberries and unsweetened coconut milk).
