Guest guest Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 HI Debby, Yes, I know what you mean by die off. Last summer it got so that I couldn't eat any sugar. After i did i would feel like i was going to collapse, so for two or three weeks I ate nothing but meat and veggies (not the high sugar kind) and I remember feeling just horrible, shaking, etc ( but I didn't have the horrible fatigue that came with sugar). I lost 17 pounds, then all of a sudden could tolerate sugar again. Candida is bad, I am surprised it has remained a silent epidemic for so long. I am going to try harder ) Last summer I believe I had "a bit" of adrenal gland failure. I know to begin with baby steps, everything in moderation, etc. To love myself I have to learn self-discipline, etc. It can't be that Debby and I are the only ones with weight issues here. I am surprised that out of a hundred members, no one has written in for support. Debby, I'm honored to have you here, because you really are capable of helping people make lasting and wonderful changes in their lives. Take care, Kel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Hi Kelly, Your experience is why we suggest going really slow with switching diet, for both emotional and physical reasons. The reason why candida overgrowth isn't really talked about is because it is naturally in the body. It's not like other diseases where you can do a test for it.. it's always there so the test will always be positive . So we all have candida, but when people say I have candida, they are usually referring to an overgrowth. Doctors do know that there can be an overgrowth of candida, but many don't really acknowledge it for the average person, only for those terminally ill where it is so apparent you can't ignore it. It also often keeps us from losing weight because it robs us of nutrients. Our bodies are getting plenty of foods, but we aren't absorbing them so our body cries out to feed it more because of the lack of nutrients. The main piece of self discipline I use is to make my food from scratch every day (which only takes 15 minutes since I've done it so much my process is streamlined) and to eat only the food I have cooked for myself. These are non-negotiables and have saved me many times. I do hope that I am able to help people and thank you for having me here. The more I learn, the more I have to give to others.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Well Debby is here to help anyone who needs it. She lost 147 pounds without surgery. The type of weight loss in which the weight won't come back because she changed her ways of eating. 100% of her physical problems are gone because she changed her diet. She has a curing candida group on and this website http://www.naturall ythriving. com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Thanks Kelly. I did want to say that the weight will come back and I am not " cured " of anything. Really I am just managing it as a life long process which has behavioral and physical components. I have definitely changed my relationship with food.. I no longer look at it as something to use, but just something to fuel my body. That was hard and took me a long time. I was actually offered a completely covered gastric bypass surgery when I was at my highest by my doctor but I declined. I know enough about health to know that it is not the answer, physically or emotionally. I have a friend who had the surgery who is now really emotionally messed up (but thin) and still struggling to eat right and struggling with alcoholism (transfer addiction). Many people gain the weight back, never lose all their weight, and struggle with many complications. The success stories you hear are typically people who are only a few years out. Check the stats on how many people have complications including death, or gain the weight back, especially going more than 3 years out, and you might reconsider the surgery.
