Researchers continue to look at what we eat and how it impacts our risk of developing diseases like cancer.  The following is a general list of suggestions that will help deal with Candida and other symptoms...

Suggested Foods:

Fresh Fish from the meat counter at your local store.

Fresh chicken with nothing added to preserve

Fresh turkey that pulls apart in strings like real meat

All fresh seafood from the meat counter of your local store, including: Salmon, Tuna 

Fresh Lamb

Fresh Veal

Steamed vegetables including: Broccoli, Cabbage, Kale, Green Beans, Egg Plant, Asparagus

Lots of Romaine Lettuce, Leaf Lettuce (Iceberg has no nutrients)

Onions, garlic, sautéed in a little butter or safflower oil or baked with vegetables.

Food Ideas

High Nutrient Filling Meal Drink: Goat Milk 4 oz, water 1oz, Scooper of pure Whey Protein, Heaping tablespoon of Healthy Green Mix, 1/2 small banana - 30 seconds in a blender and you have a filling, high nutrient breakfast drink with only a small amount of fruit sugar. This is a lot less sugar than 99% of the boxed cereals on your grocer's shelf.

Vegetable Omelet: Use real butter if you’re going to use any butter or olive oil, eggs, broccoli, squash, and onions

Salmon baked with a little butter and lemon on top

Any meat baked with lots of garlic cloves wedged into it.

Chicken grilled with lots of onions and cabbage. Top it off with almond cheese.

Seasonings: Extra Virgin-Cold Pressed Olive oil, garlic - Lots of garlic (roast it, bake it, have fun with it), lemon juice from real lemon, onions - Lots of onions, sautéed vegetables with eggs, or a vegetable

·          Almond Cheese - grated on top of turkey chili, used in salads, and snacks

·          Vegetable Soup - add some chicken, broccoli, celery, and onions - warming and good!

·          Salads seasoned with safflower oil and a little fresh lemon juice.

·          Gazpacho, tomato-based fish chowder

·          Vegetable sticks with guacamole dip (avocado, fresh tomatoes, onions, lemon juice and a little salt

·          Cashew butter spread on celery

·          Some almonds

Shop in the veggie and fresh meat sections of the grocery store. Your shopping trip will take 10 minutes or less.  This is a general list that I would suggest. For drinking: Drink lots of Water and only water, if possible.  In general: Eat: green, yellow, or red vegetables.  Focus on eating for health, not entertainment, until you are feeling good.

Because of advertising in America and the high sugar, high fat American diet, many of the following foods may have become staples in your home but they will feed Candida so it's time to part from old ways that made us sick. Stay away from Boxed and Packaged Foods!

Foods to Avoid:

·          Sugar in all forms (some honey is OK), pure maple syrup (except occasional whole fresh fruit like an apple or banana)

·          Most B vitamins (unless label states yeast free).

·          Most breads and commercial baked goods - We're killing Candida so Don't eat more of it!

·          All alcoholic beverages - One glass of wine or beer will feed a boat load of Candida.

·          Pasta - Don't feed Candida with Carbohydrates

·          Vinegar and all foods containing vinegar, including Balsamic salad dressing, sauerkraut, green olives, pickled vegetables, and relishes.
