Cleared up yeast and bloating and losing weight!!!!

Re: Cleared up yeast and bloating and losing weight!!!!

i'm doing the yeast cleanse right now, and found that it's not difficult at all to do the "no dairy". all I miss is bacon and ranch dressing, but i've learned to substitute for that and I feel much better. Let me know what diet you decide to stick to, i'm curious to see how it is working.

How do you substitute for bacon and ranch dressing? I love both!

I'm reconsidering doing this slow. I might not enjoy those first few days/weeks, but I'll live and hopefully the yeast won't - and that's what counts, right?

Re: Cleared up yeast and bloating and losing weight!!!!

Instead of ranch, i use an olive oil/ vinegar ( the legal kind we are supposed to taking daily) 1/2 and 1/2 mix, with some herbs (fresh oregeno, thyme, rosemary, and basil) and fine diced oinion and garlic. I'ts not ranch, but it's good salad dressing, and everyone i work with has fallen in love with it, and now uses it themselves and they are not on the diet. as for bacon, i just use regular meat sliced thin and grilled with legal spices....of course it's not bacon, but it is meat in the morning, which i can not do without.

Missy I would love to hear about the liver cleanse. I was supposed to have my gallbladder taken out over 5 months ago but am skeptical. I had pretty frequent attacks (none so far since atkins but only on it for 2 weeks now).

I feel EXACTLY the same especially after clearing up my husbands gallbladder from being removed with a liver cleanse!!! Heck, tyhe doctors make $10,000 and operation to remove the gallbladder and they are whipping out 4-5 a day.....GEEZ!!! :nono (almost buying a Hummer a day...LOL) Doctor couldn't believe what we accomplished. That gallbladder attack was a blessing in disquise as it got us to be aware of this candida....I don't even miss dairy....both of us feel SO much better!!! it is WAY underdiagnosed....Doctors just keep pumping us with drugs to mask the problem and everyone keeps getting more and more symtoms....it's sad. :sadblinky I'll do natural healing and cleansing anyday to prevent disease.

I too have yeast I also take a RX for it, but where I can I find more out about what to do in this case ? I have the DR ATKINS NEW DIET REVOLUTION, I had the other book as well but someone borrowed and never returned.

That's great! Congratulations! I do have one question though. Are you taking the oil of oregano in dry capsule form or drops? I attempted using the drops per Atkins' suggestion, but I can't stomach them. It just burns me all the way through my system, and makes me terribly sick for a good 12-15 hours afterwards. Let me know what you are using. Thanks.

Re: Cleared up yeast and bloating and losing weight!!!!

Just curious can this slow weight loss?

I've been on this diet twice in the past (this time I plan on sticking with it), so I have a very good idea of how my body works on this diet and all. In the past it was always about 1-1.5 pounds I'd lose every day, so obviously I have a low metabolic resistance. However this time around, I'd be lucky to lose .5 a pound a day, and somedays I wouldn't lose a thing. It's very weird because this never happened the two times I was on this before, sure once in a while I might have a day where I lose little, but never to the degree I have it right now.

I did try the "spit" test, and saw "legs" from my spit flowing to settle at the bottom, and the "bubbles" from my spit stay at the top. So I assuming I have this yeast deal? I'm curious as if its also causing the mysterious weight deal going on lately. It seems I may have to get some ACV and oil of oregano?

Re: Cleared up yeast and bloating and losing weight!!!!

Pibbman - unfortunately, your body complains each time you go off the WOE. It punishes you for your follies, by making it more difficult - each time - to lose weight. Going on/ coming off the diet will affect your metabolic resistance. So will age. Make sure you're following induction to the letter, to help kick start your ketosis.

Good luck!

Re: Cleared up yeast and bloating and losing weight!!!!

Hey missy90 ,I am interested in your post a/b candida. I did the spit test. I was positive. Did you have specific symptoms ie., itching, intestinal distress? How much Oil of Oregano did ypu use daily? Oil or capsule? How much apple cider vinegar? Did you take it straight or as a topping for salad? I need to figure out why I haven't lost weight. This is day 25 of Induction Help!

This is a very old thread and the OP hasn't posted for a couple of years. You could try pming her, but it looks like she's no longer around.
