Becky Sue - How's this???

[kpoll19]

Hi,

I did post this in the other thread as well but I wanted to make sure I grabbed your attention so you would see this!! Thanks again for any advice!

Well, this is what I had yesterday:

Breakfast:
coffee with 2 tbsp of light cream and 1 tbsp of Davinci SF syrup
2 eggs
1 slice of flax bread - plain, no butter or cream cheese

Snack - 2 oz sliced grilled chicken

Lunch
2 cups of lettuce with grilled chicken, pepperoni and jalepeno ranch dressing.

Dinner

6oz of salmon with 2 tbsp of mayo/mustard dip
6 jumbo shrimp grilled with oil,red pepper, garlic, oregano, basil and a splash of hot sauce
1 cup of broccoli

Snack: None - I was a good girl.

Water: 96 oz of water

I did have coffee with cream and syrup in the morning. I also had for me, mild amounts of dairy. I could have went with oil and vinegar instead of ranch. Do you think this was a good meal plan for the day to help reduce yeast? The scale did go down 1 pound this morning but I have been up and down with the same 3 pounds for 2.5 weeks so its not a loss I can add to my total. I just want to know if this sounds acceptable.

Keep in mind that normally, I have been having the same plus probably 6 oz of cheese if I am honest a day, more cream, cottage cheese on some days, and probably more mayo too and usually more Splenda or sweeteners. I think I reduced it pretty well yesterday. I am hoping that this will be good

Thanks,

Kelly

I answered this question on your other post. Here's a copy

You can give this a try and see if you get the results you are looking for, but.... if it doesn't work you will need to cut the yeast promoting foods(cream, sweetners, vinegar,ranch dressing( it has vinegar in it and so does mustard, mayo has vinegar too) I know this is not what you are wanting to hear but it may be what you have to do.
I use lemon juice and olive oil for my salad dressing with fresh herbs. Dried herbs have mold in them and this promotes yeast.

Here is what I eat: Example
Breakfast:
2 to 3 eggs( fried, hard boiled, poached)
1 red bell pepper

Lunch:
4 to5 oz. ground beef cooked in my geo forman grill
2 cups toss salad with lemon juice and olive oil for dressing

Snack:
1 small cucumber

Supper:
Tuna salad
(tuna in oil, drained, onion, red bell pepper,celery,mayo(I used to make my own mayo, but now I use store bought) Served on a lettuce leaf.
cherry tomatoes, maybe some cauliflower.
I drink 1 gallon of water daily

I try to eat unprocessed foods mostly. This is what kills the yeast. It has nothing to feed on, so it dies.

Remember if you are hungery do eat a snack, just make it unprocessed legal induction list food. Use www.fitday.com to keep track of your percentages and your calories. Figure your BMR to see if you are eating within the right amount of calories http://www.countcarbs.com/tools/basal_metabolism.htm

The best to you finding what works for you.

Hi Becky,

I am getting there! I have cut out the cheese completely. I only use 1 - 1.5 tbsp of cream for my coffee. Today I bought fresh lemons so I will start using the lemons and oil instead of my ranch I am still trying to learn to eat raw veggies like tomato and peppers. I just learned that with the right ingredients I can actually eat cauliflower which I used to detest. Anyway, I also bought psyllium powder and acidophilus to aid. If that doesn't work, then I go down to the next level I guess!

Question - Certain foods I ate all along and lost weight on such as coffee, cream, bacon, pepperoni and cheese. Is it just too much of a build up of these do you think that can cause the yeast because at one time they did not bother me?

If this works, how soon do you think I would see a difference - couple of days or weeks?

Thanks,
Kelly

I agree! I did the same thing. I ate foods that promoted yeast growth and I look back and think this is exactally what happened to me. Just overdid food like cheese, peperoni, bacon, dill pickles, cream cheese, cream and sweetners. When I cut all these out and ate unprocessed foods I improved and went to losing weight like you wouldn't believe. 15 pounds the first month and in the six months I had lost 30 more pounds, total of 45 pounds in 6 months. So remember cutting all the problem foods can bring you great results and you will be riding yourself of yeast.
