So I just started a new diet. Not because I want to, but because I have to. I have candida (yeast) on my nipples, and I am breast feeding, so this is an extremely painful experience for me. I found a diet online that has me cut yeast and sugars from my diet (in essence, starving the yeast in my body) and putting more vegetables and proteins in my diets.
My morning started with 3 organic fried eggs and 5 strips of nitrate free all-natural bacon. Not too bad! I could start my day like this every day! But I miss having toast! For snack, I had a small bowl of chopped pecans. Lunch time is here and I'm going to have a grilled chicken breast with some steamed brussel sprouts (this is a first for me, so not sure if I can actually finish these or not!) and dinner will be another piece of grilled chicken and some steamed asparagus.
Now, if you know me personally, you will know that my favorite things on this planet are chocolate and cheese. These are NOT allowed on the candida diet. So that's a bummer. But, I really need to get rid of this infection so I'm going to try as hard as I can to stick with the diet. Once the yeast has cleared up I can try to make some modifications so I can have some of my favorites, but keep the high protein and added vegetables.
