Candida Diet Recipes
Finding candida diet recipes
that offer variety in your menu can be
difficult to find. This is because the best anti-candida diet is
one that is very simple and consists of only a few ingredients.
Your meals should be at least three meals a day or 4 or 5 meals a day
to help keep your blood sugar and hunger under control.
Snacking should be limited. If you do partake, it should be in
the form of veggies or nuts if these are tolerable.
My typical meal consists of three very basic and plain items. I
eat basically the same thing for all three meals of the day. Each
meal consists of meat, vegetables and a small amount of complex
carbohydrate.
This may consist of ground buffalo, ground, turkey, ground beef, beef
patties, chicken patties, chicken breast, chicken thighs, turkey
patties, chicken patties etc.
The largest portion is meat, then vegetable almost equal, then a very
small amount of carbo. Sometimes no carbo.
Steaming is always the preferred method for cooking vegetables because
it retains more nutrients that way. Don't use teflon coated pans.
Glass or stainless steel should be use.
The best candida diet
recipes contain very few ingredients.
6 to 8 ounces of meat
6 to 8 ounces of vegetables
(when you're reducing carbohydrates, this must be replaced with protein
and vegetables or otherwise you'll be starving)
2 or 3 ounces of carbohydrates.
(usually 1 or 2 tablespoons of potatoes or rice, or half piece of spelt
bread, kamut bread or brown rice bread).
Sometimes I allow myself a couple ounces of fruit and half cup of
yogurt.
Once a week or on holidays and special occasions I will indulge in a
special dessert.
However I do try and add a little flavor sometimes. Here are some
of the candida diet recipes that I eat regularly.
