Yes, the “I’m Gonna Eat It” girl is dieting. No, I’m not crazy. I’m tired of feeling tired and I want to have
a healthy 2015. I am going on a yeast
free, sugar free, gluten free, also known as candida free diet. I’ using The Yeast Connection and the Candida
Free Living books for guidance.
There is a long list of food to avoid including refined
sugar, fruit, yeast, wheat, processed meats like lunch meat and sausage,
vegetables that are high in starch content like potatoes and carrots, dairy
products, beans and legumes, and caffeinated beverages. (I have decided that I
can’t do without caffeine. I tested it
for one day and after a terrible headache and falling asleep on the couch at
7:30 pm, I decided that some sacrifices are not worth the outcome. It’s bad enough that I have to give up my
morning banana and peanut butter!)
Don’t worry! I’m still gonna eat! While there is a long list of foods to avoid,
there is an equally long list of food to enjoy. This includes most green leafy
vegetables like lettuce and kale, some grains like quinoa, buckwheat, eggs, most
meats except for pork, and coconut. The
challenge comes in preparing meals – it is going to take time as everything has
to be made from scratch and carefully prepared.
There are no shortcuts and no pre-made dishes. This will be especially hard for lunches when
going to work.
I’ve done a variation of this diet before and I survived, so
I’m confident I will again. The cleanse
is only for two weeks and then I can start reintroducing food. This will help determine what foods bother
me.
They say that if you tell people about the diet you're going on there is more a likely a chance that you will actually follow it. with that said, I'm going to blog about the new foods that I'm trying.
