| The
Candida Diet is one of the hardest ones to follow but absolutely
the most rewarding if you follow it closely. This is the
diet that needs to be followed strictly, as if you do it
well you can relieve your candida symptoms (along with your
supplement program). However, if you consume sugar (in any
form) the yeast can multiply rapidly and the symptoms can
come back in a very short time, often as little as an hour.
Think of it this way, if you have 4 thumbtacks in your foot
but remove only 3 you still have pain. So do your best and
try hard. If you have a ‘moment,’ remember it’s
only a moment and do your best to get past it. Chew a piece
of gum, drink water, do a couple pushups, something to alter
the situation and help you get past that moment. The foods
listed under the green section are ok anytime, the foods
under the orange section should be limited to a few times
a week, and the foods under the red section should be avoided
completely. Good luck!

Additional comments:
Mold grows in leftover food unless it is properly refrigerated.
Use well sealed glass containers appropriately sized and
don’t keep for more than one extra day. Freezing leftovers
is best.
Avoid hidden sugars in foods. Read Labels! Often, there
are hidden sugars in: baking mixes, ketchup, salad dressings,
pickles, luncheon meats, breads, dips, peanut butter, prepared
seafood, frozen vegetables, crackers, tartar sauce, soups
and sweetened yogurt. Ingredients that end in the letters
“ose” are typically sugars. Soaking and sprouting,
seeds, grains and beans make them easier to digest.
