New Diet... Maybe


So, I am so sad and so confused about what to start eating tomorrow when my cleanse is "over." Basically I am in just as much pain as I was for the few years before the cleanse. And then tonight when I was telling Tim about my new diet, I realized the new diet is exactly what I was eating when I starting having stomach pain to begin with. That diet was mostly grains, legumes, brown rice, normal amounts of dairy and green veggies. I was so sick all the time, but I did lose a lot of weight.

So, I would like to start a vegan diet, but if my problem is actually Candida, then a should try the Candida diet. The diets are basically opposite.

For now I plan to start solid foods in phases:
Phase 1 -- veggies (mostly cooked), salad, sweet potatoes fries (just because I like them), carrots and avocado, hummus with celery, veggie broth

Phase 2 -- Rice, slop (beans, tomatoes, rice, green peppers), nuts and seeds, yogurt, veggie and beans curries.

Phase 3 -- Eggs, a little honey, organic chicken, more beans, apples, veggie egg rolls, marinara sauce on rice, gnocchi or pasta (small amounts), lemon, lots of apple cider vinegar for flavor.

NO: No bread, no milk, no cheese. no fruit, no salt, no peanuts, no "lots of other things like sugar and catchup"

  1. Do try a vegan diet if you suffer from candida! It is going to help, it is proven. :)
