The Candida Diet

What You Can Eat

• All vegetables (for the first 2 weeks potatoes are not advised and watch the carrots – high in sugar)
• Salads (no dressing w/vinegar and/or sugar – use lemon & oil w/fresh herbs)
• There are vinegar free dressings made by Annie’s and available at most health food stores
• Meats/Animal Proteins: Eggs, fish, turkey, tuna, chicken, and beef. Not fried and not with any breading, baked or broiled is best. No pork.
• Whole grains such as amaranth, quinoa, millet and brown rice
• 1 Green apple per day (only fruit allowed)
• 1/2 cup RAW almonds, sunflower or pumpkin seeds per day
• Drink copious amounts of water

Home Made Dressing
Here is my favorite 1/4 Olive Oil, 1 fresh squeezed lemon or lime, 2/3 water, fresh roasted garlic, fresh parsley, salt, pepper, scallion or onion to taste, 1/2 avocado and blend well.  I use my magic bullet and it works great and I store it all week long and use it on sandwiches, as a dip or on salads. Note: You could also use fresh dill, oregano, basil, thyme, peppers etc.

 TIPS:

• Read all labels as you will find yeast, evaporated cane sugar, various sugars, vinegar and more in most foods.
• Shoot for fresh foods and you really can’t go wrong, you will know what is in it
• Get to know/become familiar with your local health food stores
• There are many supplements to take when doing this diet to clear yeast from your body – just ask at any health food store.  The diet takes care of most of it.
