Started treating yeast and had a woosh!

[Momtofour]

I started treating the yeast with a supplement called Candex,taking probiotics, and following the KISS diet. After just one day of treating the yeast I had a three pound loss. I have been stalled for about 4 weeks, so this was sooo exciting for me. It seemed very hard to give up cheese, but if I continue to lose, then that is what I need to do.

Hello Shaz. Becky Sue is the expert on this board, but she is on vacation right now. I'm sure she can answer your questions better. I didn't have a stall until I was two months into the diet. I had a 26 pound weight loss and stopped. To find out if you have yeast do the spit test that is mentioned in the stickys above. I miss cheese too, but I also want this yeast taken care of. I found Candex at my local health food store, but I have now found it online much cheaper than what I paid. Do a search for Candex yeast management system. I don't know if this is what Becky Sue would reccommend, but so far it is working for me.

WTG Momtofour!
Eating to much cheese can also cause stalls in your weight.
Try to eat the KISS way for at least 4 to 6 weeks and if you wish you can try to re-introduce cheese back into your diet. Just don't overdo it. But remember you can cause your weight loss to slow down or stop by doing this.
I have heard that Candex is a good product, but personally I havne't taken it.
Glad to hear your are having great results.

Welcome Shaz,
If you know that you have a yeast problem often, then I recommend that you don't eat mushrooms and cheese often. you know you already have the problem, these foods will only make it worse. IMHO
Check out the sticky notes on this forum and learn what foods promote yeast overgrowth, then eat them sparingly or not at all. Check out the KISS diet. It is strict and only recommended if you know you have the problem.
If I can help let me know.

I'm still losing pounds (5 since Sunday). I think cutting out cheese was a very positive thing to do. I miss it but I think I will have to always be careful with it in the future. It feels so good to be losing again.

Momtofour,
Thanks for keeping us updated on your progress. I am so happy for you.
Yes, if foods have caused you problems in the past, later when you plan on experimenting, take it slowly and pay close attention to reactions from those foods. You may find that you can eat(example:Cheese) occationally, or may have to not eat it. You are learning and succeeding, that is a good thang!

Re: Started treating yeast and had a woosh!

Well I'm still losing. I have reintroduced a small amount of cheese because I had a hard time not having any with my omlettes. I am still avoiding mushrooms. I really like them, but I can do without. I am getting close to a 40 pound loss. Very, very exciting! I am still testing positive for yeast, but I am feeling much better now.

That's awesome!! I'm glad you're feeling better and that it's working for you!

Re: Started treating yeast and had a woosh!

Just remember if your weight loss stops cut the cheese out of your diet. To make my omlettes interesting I saute onion, bell peppers in olive oil and add eggs. Plus salt and fresh ground pepper. I just love this taste. Add a side of sliced tomatoes to the dish and you have a good meal. colorful too.

Eating the cheese just may not let you get the overgrowth out of your system. So watch real close and see how your body reacts.

I am so happy that you are losing weight again.
