by Ricki Heller 4 Comments

Perfect candida diet and still not better

You started an anti-candida diet prepared to stick to it 100%. You did all the prep, bought all the special ingredients, cleared out your pantry and scoured the internet for “candida friendly” recipes. You started off full of energy and motivations that this time would be the one. And you plowed through the failed recipes, […]

What We Learned About Food and Why We Must Unlearn It

by Ricki Heller Leave a Comment

upset over the things we learn about food

We’ve all had these kinds of slip-ups: maybe an argument, or a problem at work, or even something fabulous, like your kid just got engaged. And then. . . We eat.  Whether we’re angry, or stressed, or bored, or even happy, so many of us eat when we have strong emotions that are tough to […]

Why “What Am I Doing Wrong?” Isn’t a Helpful Question (What To Think Instead)

by Ricki Heller Leave a Comment

ricki advised not to dwell on what you are doing wrong with candida

When things don’t work out as we wish, it’s natural to ask, “what am I doing wrong?” For most of my life as a teen and through adulthood, that was the question that first occurred to me any time I didn’t see the results I was hoping for in my life.  If I wasn’t promoted […]

Ricki saying she doesn't want any of your stinkin food!

It’s no fun when you start a new dietary regimen and you feel as if the people around you don’t “get it,” or worse, they deliberately try to sabotage your eating by pushing foods you shouldn’t eat right at you. Last time, I talked about why other people might feel compelled to offer you cakes, […]

When People Try to Sabotage Your Candida Diet, Part 1: Why This Happens

by Ricki Heller Leave a Comment

Ricki upset that people try to sabotage her diet

It’s happened to all of us on a restricted (or any!) diet. You start to eat a new, healthier way. Maybe you’re following an anti-candida diet, like I am. Maybe you’re just trying to cut out sugars. Or maybe you need to radically change the way you eat because of other health issues. You tell […]

Showing you a key to represent your success with candida

Last week, I went to the hardware store to have a new key made. Now, a trip to the hardware store by yours truly is, in itself, a rare occurrence, so I admit I’m not entirely familiar with the general store protocol. But what I encountered truly surprised me. In today’s video, I talk about […]

Ricki talks about how cars can help you with your candida diet

When temptations are all around you, how do you stick with your candida diet? When it’s summertime, as it is now in the Toronto area, there’s a wealth of fresh produce all over, enticing you with its beautiful colors and textures.

Learn the language of your candida diet to thrive eating candida-free

Do you feel as if your candida diet has caused you to lose your love of food? Do you miss all your favorites and feel as if you’ll never be able to eat them again? That’s how I felt when I started the diet again in 2009. The problem was that I didn’t feel totally […]
