Re: below my weight

Sounds like you need to read the Maintenace part and find your carb level to maintain and not lose. If your still losing your not eating enough. Have you gone up the rungs and begun to add things like fruits nuts grains ect????


You have done a fabulous job getting your weight off and you look beautiful ........... just start following the right levels and you should find a comfortable place to stay

Re: below my weight

Hi Heidi I am talking about candida diet.
Thank's for your words.

Re: below my weight

Congrats at getting to goal Mirna!!!

I'm no expert (despite of modding this forum!! Lol) but perhaps if you considerably upped natural fats, like olive oil it might help you maintain. I know fat is your friend on Atkins... but if your fats are high enough, that should halt your loss, as they are calorically dense.
What foods have you found exacerbated your candida? Avoid these, but maybe try others that were ok for you as you went up the OWL rungs.

Anyone else got any suggestions?

Re: below my weight

Thak you sally, I´ll take more fat then, in other pages it says that almonds, carrots, beans and rice are OK, what do you think??

[sallyseachange]

Re: below my weight

Those sound ok, as long as they don't cause you problems... except the rice which rings alarm bells to me (maybe very small amounts of brown rice would be ok, but be careful). I assume you've been through the OWL rungs.
You'd need to experiment.

Hope you get this sorted out. Keep us updated.

Re: below my weight

Thank you very much for your help and guidance Sally, I introduced beans and carrots and it seems to keep me on my weigh, no other reactions.
I tried brown rice, but no, (lot of gas).

My menu today:

Black beans, ground meet
Cinamon tea
Vit C, Vit A


Chicken and vegetable (zuchini, chayote, carrots) soup, more ground meet with tomato sauce
water and Cinamon tea
Vt C, B, Magnesium, Zinc, Chromium

Re: below my weight

Yes... it's trial and error, I imagine. A process of elimination.
Hope you manage to get the candida sorted out soon, so you can begin to re-introduce other foods.

Re: below my weight

That is my hope Sally, I dream with the day I can eat berries again!!

Re: below my weight

Hi Sally,

I am manteining my weight, eating beans, a little rice, carrots, and a bread made of amaranth, olive oil, salt and egg (among my proteins and vegetables)

Starting to feel little better, no way to find carprilic oil here, I´ll have to wait until someone can get it from the States. Tried to eat natural garlic, but my stomach could not stand it. So I will buy a garlic suplement meanwhile.

My allergy still on, like having a permanent cold, and I can not sleep well.

No anxiety, no gas, no stomach burning anymore, thanks God.

Re: below my weight

Glad you're feeling better Mirna. Go easy on the rice (brown is best). What's amaranth bread? Never heard of that here in Italy.

Re: below my weight

Re: below my weight

Tks Mirna... I'd never seen, nor heard of it. Interesting.

Re: below my weight

another question


Is baking soda allowed???

[sallyseachange]

Re: below my weight

Can't answer your question Mirna I'm afraid, as I don't know if baking powder affects candida issues or not... but instinctively, I'd say not.

Anyone else know about this?
