Hi, Lovelies. As I explained in my last video
*bing!*
Um, I am going on the Candida diet
in an attempt to
hopefully cure my
digestive issues and also my
chronic fatigue which I would very much like gone
Currently, I would say that my energy
levels are maybe a three or four
Also I can't put any starches into my stomach so fingers crossed by the New Year, I would be maybe
Eight or nine.
I'm not ,sort of, expecting to be a Paralympian, but I'm planning on one day
being a mother and I
need energy for that
How can I do that with just three good hours of energy a day? I mean I can't
so
What is the Candida diet?
it's a way of fighting back a
Candida overgrowth, what is candidate?
Another excellent question! It's a yeast that lives inside your guts. There's a balance of good
bacteria and then the bad bacteria
but
various different things
can
stop the good Bacteria which allows the bad ones to *whaaa*
Also bad Bacteria is there for a reason
It does help with your digestion and breaking stuff down
Picture a T-Rex
Something like Mr.. Burns
Also, when my arms didn't work for that year and a half and they were all completely paralysed I had to hold them like this. No, picture something else
scary hey, yeah, okay the student loans company come back and they want all of
In one go you gotta pay it all back right now.
On to the diet!
So week one *bell* that means
four days of just vegetable broth and then three days of some lovely steamed vegetables. Only.
Steamed.Vegetables.
And the one thing you can drink is water. That's it.
Slight issue, since I currently live on diet coke
Haah.Hah.Heh.HUH.
Don't judge me. I know it is quite awful. It's awful. I hated
fizzy drinks
when I was child
But then I got ill and my doctor told me that it was quite a good way to get some energy
and keep going. Also, diet Coke is amazing at stopping you from feeling sick it just works
wonders on Nausea, so I have drunk a lot of it. (in my life)
I should have bought shirts (?). Also I don't really absorb my food
Due to
Candida. So I don't get that kind of energy boost so we then start
Reintroducing other foods that are allowed on diet
There are a lot of things that are not left most of these things I can't currently eat anyway, so
That's fine. I'm pretty happy with that
I'm sure that other people would find that really really hard. Please, if you're kind of finding this really interesting like oh
Maybe I've got that please go and see your doctor
Don't just listen to me. I have a film degree. Not a medical one. Alright, I could tell you anything you like about old films but...
Not about your own body. So things to avoid: Sugars
Now,that's the kind of refined powdered kind - maybe
agave honey molasses chocolate sweets fruit juices
Oh, alcohol! No alcohol.
No,no,no.But I can't drink anyway so...
Grains and glutenus foods:
Bread,pasta, Oats, rice, corn,spealt,buckwheat
I'm just doing the same grain thing here because I don't know what
Buckwheat or why--oh, Popcorn!
Next thing root vegetables. If it grows into the ground it's a no on the counter to diet peas
Beans anything that kind of falls into those categories when it comes to meat. It's the kind of processed
Pork you're not allowed any pork. Drinks:That's tea, or coffee
sweet soft drinks
fizzy drinks
Energy drinks, there's no dairy.No cheese
No cream no whey products
fruit
dried fruit canned fruit fresh fruit. In terms of fruit I
Currently can't eat fresh stuff the sweet stuff, but I do love berries
But the foods that I currently do eat
But won't be able to on this special new diet include fish.
All. FIsh.
with the exceptions of
Wild Salmon and Sardines, but everything including shellfish
How am I supposed to live without prawns? Absolute madness other things not allowed on the counter diet that I currently eat
includes soy products also no chickpeas cuz I love when you go to an Indian restaurant and
Make if you have an onion Bhaji I can't eat loads of them, but that is the only
Buttered fried product I can currently eat three months
I mean--No diet coke?
I mean I might just like
Could evem die without diet coke which probably is a slight indication of how addicted I am
also
Nuts Cashews peanuts and pistachios, but other types of nuts
Mushrooms I love mushrooms. I mean I can eat mushrooms. Maybe three times a day
No condiments, so that's no
Vinegars even
Except the Apple Cider vinegar. What the hell am I going to eat?
Genuinely what am I going to eat?
Join me on this journey and and tune in next time to see if what I have in fact worked out what I can eat
Because there's got to be something.
