The most important part to overcoming and controlling Candida is what you put into your MOUTH. The two things that drive the Candida growth in the body are; sugar or anything that turns into sugar in the body, and mold or anything containing mold or fungus (dairy, cheese, etc.).
- Meat- (beef, chicken, turkey, fish, etc.)
- Eggs-(organic)
- Protein powder
Fats
- Olive Oil
- Coconut oil
- Almonds
- Be careful with nuts, they can carry lots of mold. (soak em in water over night)
Good Carbohydrates
- Non-starchy carbohydrates; green beans, broccoli, tomatoes, cucumbers, spinach etc.
- Frozen berries (fresh fruit in the store carries molds)
- Lemons, grapefruit (no other fruit)
- Beans (black beans, pinto beans etc.)
Naughty Carbs
- ALL KINDS of sugar
- PROCESSED carbohydrates
- ALL foods containing yeasts
- ALL grains (breads, pastries, etc.)
- ALL starches (potatoes, corn, rice, cooked carrots, baked squash etc.)
Good Sweeteners
- Xylitol- a natural sweetener that helps kill Candida. The best sweetener on the market!
- Stevia- This sweetener is a non-caloric herb and is extremely sweet. It cannot feed yeast.
How long must I stay on this Candida cleansing diet? You ask.
As far as sugar is concerned, you should never resume using it, even sparingly. The other foods can be reintroduced slowly. This reintroduction can start taking place 2 weeks after all your symptoms of Candida are gone.
Many times when you add food back into your diet, you will feel symptoms of bloating, gas, joint pain, indigestion or mucus throat. This is a food allergy. When you eat food that you're intolerant to, you always live in a constant state of mild allergic reaction. But, when you give it up for a period of time, you'll experience an allergic reaction when you add it back into your diet. If this happens stay away from that particular food.

Thank you for your help!
Do you recommend doing a candida cleanse? I have heard about a few that you can do with lemons or apples which consist of a pure liquid diet for a few days.
Thanks again for this awesome website. I love it!
Can you comment on the use of recovery drinks when working out at a fairly high intensity 6 days a week?
It seems to me like the science supports some sort of liquid glucose/protein/electrolyte replacement immediately after exercise, but I'm having a hard time knowing how to achieve this without also taking in a lot of sugar and calories.
Do you think they're valuable and if so, is there something you could recommend?
It seems a little extreme to never eat sugar. It's in everything, bread sauces etc... I don't think I could ever completly eliminate it. But I understand moderation in all things, and eliminating junk food. Do you really eat like this? Or do you have a treat once in a while? Plus having to buy speacial foods from the health food store would cost me a ton!
