Honestly, it could be worse. But it could also be much better, as all of that stuff that I loved to eat, especially some nice treatments in between, is not allowed anymore. But I keep telling myself it will be worth it. At least the weight is going down already. Anyway, the detox with the herbal medicine Costat is now on full strength. I have a little but constant headache and feel pretty exhausted, but that might be due to the changed nutrition as well.
My practitioner answered me an email and cut down on some last resorts for nice stuff:
Yes sour cream is dairy so NO you cannot have it! Wedges are fine if you bake them and dont use any oil. Not sure what you will dip them in? your nuts should be raw, not roasted or salted…as for the pizza just make sure theres no cheese…Im not sure if you misunderstood me but the anti-candida diet is minimum 4 weeks!
sorry the gods leave the building during anti-candida diets
Oh no! I was in the god section to my nutrition god for some mercy. But no, nothing on the spiritual front. Now i know I will have to stick the Corn chips, which are not exactly good, but I got allowance from Winona to cheat a tiny little bit. I believe it will now become better anyway, as the first five days is the time to adjust to changes and see all the no-nos everywhere. Now I actually only look for the good stuff and still manage to get something nice to eat during the day. Yesterday was a good example:
Breakfast: Omelette of two eggs, with fresh tomato slices
Lunch: Did not really exist as I was in the town. But not really hungry
Dinner: Plenty here though. Oven baked chicken breast (just some pepper, salt and garlic on top), oven baked potato wedges (no oil, no salt) along with some pumpkin and Peppers. Pretty nice, leftovers will be my lunch today.
Luckily I finished adding about 7000 foods to my personal nutrition tool web site. I also started tagging the foods I can have during my candida diet, so it will be easier to find good combinations and keep track and plan. I guess I will be able to upload it to www.ntandme.com in the next week for alpha testing.
The current stats:
weight: 83.8 (down 700g in 5 days)

The most common foods for detox diets are foods like fish, fruit (juiced), vegetables (both solid and juiced), plenty of water, herbal teas such as green tea. Banned foods include caffine based drinks (coffee, etc), alcohol, red meats, fried foods, etc. Basically, all foods on the detox diet range mostly between fruit and vegetables and plenty of water.
