A low fat diet is the worse thing you can do for yourself. Calorie counting is useless. The key is to return to the diet that the human body is supposed to have, which is high in animal protein and non-starchy vegetables, a small amount of nuts, seeds and fruit, and a healthy intake of fat. The Paleolithic diet is the diet I recommend.

Any resources out there for vegetarians wanting a low carb, high protein diet? I do eat eggs (have my own pet chickens!)

Any tips on some more stodgy-type foods to make me feel full and of energy? (I do eat potatoes, but try to avoid not eating them everyday) I assume quorn is not ok to eat because it is made of mushroom protein. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks, Alex Hi Cynthia,

It has no impact on Candida, insulin or blood sugar. Agave does feed Candida, but in my experience it is less offensive than sugar or honey. I reserve agave for special occasions.

Meat should be the largest portion of the meal. Eggs are good too. However, eggs shouldn't be eaten every day or you may develop a food sensitivity to them. You can eat chicken breast, turkey, buffalo, beef etc. with steamed vegetables for breakfast. Each meal should consist of meat and vegetables. A small amount of fruit, nuts and seeds are acceptable, if tolerated. You can read this page for more on <strong><a href="http://www.holistichelp.net/blog/what-do-i-eat-for-breakfast-on-the-candida-diet/" rel="nofollow">Candida breakfast foods.</a></strong> Soy should not be part of the diet, it has naturally occurring substances that are destructive to the pancreas, GI tract, and thyroid. It disrupts digestion and inhibits absorption of nutrients. It's also high in phytoestrogens which upsets the level of estrogen in the body, leading to or aggravating estrogen dominance. Grains should not be part of the diet, or at least very restricted. Especially wheat and others with gluten. They destroy the GI tract and feed Candida. However a little brown rice now and then is not too bad. But it shouldn't be eaten every day. If tuna weren't contaminated with mercury it would be healthy. However, most fish, including tuna have very high levels of mercury.<strong> <a href="http://www.holistichelp.net/blog/mercury-poisoning-and-candida-overgrowth/" rel="nofollow">Mercury</a> </strong>in the body aggravates the Candida condition.
