Tips For Yeast Infection Sufferers Following An Anti Candida Diet
Sticking to an anti Candida diet takes focus and will power, partly because there are foods you are giving up but also because of the difficulties it can create in your social life. But taking this important step to get rid of Candida for good does not have to ruin your life so here are some pointers to help you along the way.
Give yourself a chance to succeed: If you have a poor diet that is rich with foods high in sugars an anti Candida diet is going to be harder for you. Going cold turkey is not a good idea as you are more likely to quit the diet. Slowly cut out the foods you need to, until you reach the point where you can start the official week Cut out one type of food at a time each week, for example sugary foods one week, junk foods another, processed another.
Be positive Think about what you can eat rather than what you cannot. There are still a large variety of great foods with great tastes that you can eat.
Be fair to yourself: Everyone slips up when on a diet, but it is not a reason to completely throw in the towel. If a situation comes along where you have little choice, or if you just cave in to a chocolate bar one night that does not mean you get up the next day and revert back to bad habits. Accept the mistake or situation and then get back the focus you need to continue.
Bring Your Own If you are going round a friends take your own snack, they don’t feel awkward offering food you cant have and you don’t feel awkward having to say no. Keep suitable snacks at work and in the car too.
Eat before a party: Finger foods are hard to resist and everyone eats far more of them than we should. Before going out to such an occasion eat a good meal so you are less tempted by all that carbohydrates and sugar.
Be the decider when eating out. If you are going out on a dinner date call ahead to the restaurant to see what options are available. If there isn’t much you can have salads are on most menus today but be careful of the salad dressings!
Letting others know Some people do not like to tell people around them about the diet and others don’t care! If you would rather not explain an anti candida diet just say you are on a detox diet, usually people will just accept that and move on but if they question it just blame your doctor or dietitian!
