Off, now truly ON

[Guest guest]

For a while now, I have been of this list because I did fall off -

eating the foods that my parents have brought me up on and that they

and my fiance are always eating - cooked, mostly well-done. My

friends, too, eat this way but most are on this Atkins diet where

fruit and yummy vegis are restricted, but you can eat all the meat

you want -YUCK. For the past year or so, I have been getting

signals from my body and emotions telling me to eat more friuts and

vegis - but after a couple of days, the cravings get me - especially

for sugar. And I lose - finding the pop-tarts for the grandkids in

the cupboard and the soda pop, ughg.

 

Though I haven't done any " real " tests for candida, I can tell it is

probably an issue because I have spend the past 8 years or so

binging on sugar product between the weeks of poor fave-diets.

So, I have read some about treating candida - giving up anything

sugar, even telling me to give up fruits until all is better, I'm

guessing that means no cravings. I also do not want to eat meats,

eggs, milk, cheese anymore either. It is a lot to give up at once,

but I feel it is necessary to start fresh and new.

 

The only thing to do is get through the cravings. But, also, to

figure out what I can eat and stick to it until the craving for

sugar are gone and I can start to eat fruit. So, that leaves me

with, vegetables... nuts... beans... hmm...

 

Any suggestions or comments, please let me know. Breakfast is a

major issue - but I am seeing chickpeas and hummus as a filler for

now.

 

Thanks.
