Hi there,

A great program I have done to jump start healthy eating is Standard process purification program. It's 21 days.
You will lose weight on this program, but the purification of the body is the key. No dairy, no bread. Veggies ok, fruit, protein shakes,
Says no eggs, but I eat them. Because if you are working out during the cleanse you need the protein. Also says to add meat on day 10. I eat it from day one, because I get to weak if not.
It is an amazing cleanse, done it several times over the years
Would be great for clearing yeast.
Really helps with sugar cravings.
If you google it, you can read about it.
I don't sell it, but think you can find online.

Heck that sounds like my daily diet. High protein, the only carbs I get are from veggies and an occasional orange, and the only dairy I get is kefir with an occasional bit of cheese (maybe 3 times a month).

Andrew ate like nothing but raw veggies and meat, fish, chicken - I did basic chicken soup, he was MISERABLE and I put him on CANDEX - still have him on 2 pills morning and night, empty stomach. Also bumped probiotic 50billion midday and 100 billion at night.

He cleaned up in like a week - it was fast, I was shocked and let him back on the miserable lyme diet... he had no idea how great that would be until he had to do the candida diet!!!!!!!!

LOL!! I know that feeling!!! My elimination diet was super strict - there was very little I could eat, and then I came off if it and thought it was wonderful to be on this diet!! LOL!! And I'm doing very well on this diet too, so that helps.

Chapelle, eating is very interesting on the sugar free, gluten free, dairy free diet especially because I have to avoid eggs and various veggies and fruit due to food allergies. There are many sites out there that offer recipes and meal suggestions. I eat a lot of fruit, veggies, lean meats, rice, salads, nuts etc. All organic if possible. I do cheat and have a little half and half in my coffee, but it doesn't seem to bother me. A few times I've been somewhere for dinner and the host will assure me the food is safe for me, and then when I'm itching in the corner they'll confess that they put an egg or a dash of bread crumb or flour etc. My body is so cleaned out that the least little cheat thing sets it off. It's an interesting way to eat, but I feel the best I have in years so I'm happy to do it! I agree about the antibiotics. I wouldn't take them if you didn't have to. My daughter went off abx for Lyme to give her immune system a chance to bounce back. She had to go back on them for a severe sinus infection and what a setback it was for her immune system. Back to square one.

Calilyme and Dtav - thank you! I have two problems - I have kids who love cookies and icecream, and I am not going to deprive them of it, so I buy it - but then I can't resist!!! AHHHHH. It is SO HARD

Secondly, I am ready to have lots of willpower, but I barely even have time to cook up some dinner - its a time factor thing. It takes a lot of work to go on a special diet and plan out your meals. I just barely make it planning my kids lunches for school - that is hard enough!

I will figure something out, I may have to just bite the bullet and try the 21 day cleanse thing. Dtav - I am sure you must feel so great with that diet. It is my goal but it wont be easily reached. I cheated when I was treating lyme too. I was super thin because I lost so much weight, and although I was careful, I wasn't an angel, and it didn't seem to make much of a difference.

In the meantime, this is what my Dr wrote as a response -

I agree that Candida or a type of yeast could be an issue, particularly because you have a hard time staying away from dairy and sugar, the cravings are strong. We can try nystatin, that's not a problem, but you will have to plan to stay off sugar/dairy for at least a week. Once you are off it for a week, then the yeast calms down and the cravings go away! I wouldn't take the nystatin if you are still eating this foods.

With regards to the herx like reactions when taking nutritionals - There are a couple of options: either you are not detoxifying well and any additional supplement causes more toxicity. Or you are on a "fight or flight' adrenal response and reacting in general to any extra nutrient. This second scenario would also cause inability to lose weight, due to excessive cortisol. I agree with your trainer that too much exercise can cause excessive stress in your system, and more cortisol production, hence no weight loss and sore muscles.

she referred me to a chiropractor for my shoulder - nah, I am going to wait it out. since I "broke in" my muscles from exercise, it has been feeling better. I think I just have to work my way thru it!!

so thats that for now! I will keep you guys posted!

Hey calilyme - quick question. I took a look at the standard process program and it looks awesome. Just wondering - how important would you say the supplements are? I'm just very sensitive to lots of products so I would be a bit weary of trying all these new things although they look great. What do you think? I was doing great with exercise but I had a setback bc I got the flu. I lost 2.5 weeks of doing any exercise at all smh. I want to go ahead full force next week with the diet and exercise together. Would appreciate your opinion. Thx!
