Is it harder to stick with your restricted diet if you happen to really (really, REALLY) love food? Being told that you have to cut out most (or all) of your favorite foods because of a health condition can be truly devastating. Besides the fact that you might not know about other foods and new, […]
The Most Important Thing You Need for Success on the Anti Candida Diet
July 8, 2018 by Leave a Comment
I’ve heard it over and over from so many of my clients. They start out really well on an anti-candida diet and really stick with it. Over time, they begin to feel better (yay!). They’re determined to be clear of candida forever. Over time, their symptoms improve, or maybe disappear entirely. And they really do […]
How I Squashed My Cravings and Learned to Eat Healthier
June 7, 2018 by 1 Comment
One scenario I hear from readers and clients all the time is what I call the story of the “recidivist eater.” If it sounds really familiar, it’s because so many of us (myself included) have been through this series of events: First, you’re either diagnosed with a condition that requires a change to your diet, […]
Candida Diet Myths #3: Starchy Vegetables
April 12, 2018 by Leave a Comment
Recently, while I was going through a 10-day detox (I’ll post about it here anon), I shared some of my meals on instagram. When I posted one of my meals that contained sweet potatoes, almost immediately, I was met with a comment: “You can’t eat sweet potatoes on an anti-candida diet. They’re too high in […]
Candida Diet Myths #2: How Long Will It Take?
March 17, 2018 by Leave a Comment
One of the first things I’m asked when someone signs up for a program or coaching is, “How long will I have to stay on the diet?” What they’re really asking (I know this because it’s exactly what I asked, too) is, “How long will I have to stay on the diet before I’m completely […]
Anti Candida Diet Myths #1: Weight Loss
February 8, 2018 by Leave a Comment
For many of us (like me) on an anti-candida diet, losing weight can be a welcome change. After all, if you developed candida after years of over-indulging in certain foods or after eating too much sugar over time, it’s quite possible that excess weight came along with the excess candida. And when you first begin […]
Candida and Cravings: The Common Links and What to do About Them
January 6, 2018 by Leave a Comment
Today’s video covers a topic close to my heart (and stomach): candida and cravings. Why do we crave what we crave? Even those of us who don’t suffer from candida related complex are likely to know the power of food cravings and how they can sabotage even our best intentions. If you’ve ever found yourself […]
Two Weeks with NO Added Sweeteners: Update
December 14, 2017 by 4 Comments
We all know that too much sugar is bad for us. In fact, I haven’t eaten sugar since 2009. But why would someone who eats only low glycemic sweeteners cut those out, too? As someone who follows a modified anti-candida diet and has no plans to change that any time soon, I’m already eating a […]
Two Weeks with NO Added Sweeteners (!)
November 28, 2017 by 2 Comments
For many of us on sugar-free diets, the reason we got here in the first place is a love of sweets. I’ve made no secret that I consider myself a sugar addict. If I’m honest, I still have issues around most sweet things, even those sweetened with stevia, xylitol or other low- and no-glycemic sweeteners. […]
Why Can Some People Cheat on Their Anti-Candida Diet, While Others Can’t?
November 18, 2017 by Leave a Comment
It happens every holiday season: I hear from dozens of my coaching clients, people in the Candida Kick-Start program or Sweet Life Club, worried about whether or not they’ll fall off the wagon during the holidays this year. I can totally understand how they’re feeling, too: for most of my life, I dieted like a […]
