Now after my body eliminated a lot of toxins, I had to think on Diet Plan suitable for me to mentain healthy living.
I am not a big dieting person myself. Meaning I cannot avoid eating some products strictly, life for example they suggest in Candida Diet. It would be impossible for me to do. I also studied Atkins Diet – but found it gross to get all my nutrition from mainly animal protein sources, and I do not believe that eliminating Carbohydrates will do any good. On the other side I was truly believing in whole-grains and “Good” carbs properly described in Yogic Books and supported by Food’s Glycemic Index studies. So many options – so many diets. But – on the other hand a lot of sources guiding you to go Gluten Free and eliminate whole grains and wheat.
Candida Die advises to start with very strict diet and eliminate all the foods which possibly causes allergies and intolerances. I omitted this step and did Food Intolerance tests – just to make sure that are the possible foods to avoid completely and which ones are tolerable.
My Food Intolerance List contained following allergic reactions:
Number 1 and 2 Allergy to: gluten (oats, barley, wheat etc.) , chicken egg, spirulina algae, cocoa beans
Number 3 Allergy (stronger intolerance): kiwi fruit, sunflower seeds, peanuts
Foods to avoid: milk (cow) products, eggs, yeast, glutten
So I had to opt for gluten free after all…
It was time for me to identify best for myself. I made a rough idea about the Goals I wanted to achieve:
1. To lower blood sugar (Dec’2010 – 5.08)
2. To eliminate Yeast from my diet
3. Limit Antibiotics intake (even the ones from non-organic red meat and chicken)
4. Limit and avoid as much as I can gluten
5. To have cow milk/products not more often than once a week
6. To consume foods law in GI Index
7. Opt for more organic products
It was it. Then seeing this Goals was easy to make a Food list, which helps me do my grocery shopping and even orders in restaurants:
