candida
when i was 15 i was diagnosed with Candida, which is an overgrowth of yeast in your body which manifests itself as a variety of symptoms like anxiety, eczema, fatigue and the like. So for 6 weeks I lived on the candida diet which is veggies, meat and some low carb grains like brown rice. Not much more, not much less. this diet starves the yeast into a moderate proportion in your life.
since then as i have felt sicker and sicker I've thought about going back on this diet. it may sound easy but its actually very difficult. depriving yourself of any form of sugar can cause your body to go into shock and the yeast is the cause of your cravings.
a friend of mine recently had to go on this diet for allergy and other health issues. and talking with her about these things has convinced me that it is time to go back on this diet until I can get my heath back. problem is, I have no idea how long I will have to pursue this eating plan, could be months, could be years, just depends on how long it takes.
so when I come back from my vacation on August 17th i will be doing this plan. the first thing I have done to prepare is i made two weeks worth of meals so that i wouldn't go hungry.
I will also be getting a food journal, taking some supplements and talking to my friend when I am having a mental breakdown from not having any sugar.

i am so proud of you. the sugar addiction that is rampant in our society is ever growing and so are related illnesses (diabetes, candida, allergies & food intolerances, asthma, arthritis, the list goes on and on). i will be there for you anytime you need support. and, surprisingly, it is easier to incorporate foods once the candida is back to manageable levels. i have been eating yogurt the past two days and potato chips without any reaction. this is a huge improvement from the intensity of food intolerances i was experiencing a mere 6 weeks ago. the candida die-off and sugar detox can be intense but short term pain for long term gain!!! LOVE YOU!!!!!!
