Let it also be noted that getting rid of sugars in all forms
(starches, sugars, dairy, anything refined really, etc) will help you
kick the candida albicans out of your body. And yeah, you guessed it
- that is what causes yeast infections. I did that diet for about 2
months and dropped weight, felt so much energy and rid myself of yeast
issues. Yeast overgrowth causes not only yeast infections but also is
thought to cause of infections dealing with mucous like sinusitis,
etc. Sorry if I grossed out any men/or women in the forum. Oh and
this affects men too, but in different ways.

: OH, yeah, if you get rid of just sugar and wheat the energy increase
: is amazing. AND I quit craving carbs in about two weeks. I eat NO
: beef (I think mad cow is VERY previlant, and I have to say "No thank
: you" to the beef), I do drink one or two cups of coffee, my only real
: vice, since I don't drink and don't smoke, and since I gave up sugar,
: I do still have one or two cups of coffe daily, just in the morning.
: I didn't give up pasta though, I make my own using Spelt, which is a
: very ancient old grain, related to wheat, but different, it's not been
: genetically altered or screwed with, so it's pretty much the same way
: it's been for thousands of years, and it has the most wonderful taste!
: So I make my own pasta with that, I buy organic baking spelt at Wild
: Oats here where I live, and it's wonderful!! And I do eat anything
: else, and have NO problems what so ever, just getting rid of the sugar
: and wheat (I do eat potatoes occasionally, since they are not
: processed). Oh, and I also do not EVER eat hydrogenated oils, VERY
: bad stuff. I use mostly olive oil, and butter, and occasionally soy
: bean or peanut oil from reliable sources. But I've dropped 90 pounds
: in one year, and that is without ANY excercise because I've been wheel
: chair bound for a year. I only recently got my knee replaced, and
: will be having surgery on my foot this spring sometime, then,
: HOPEFULLY, I will be able to walk normally again. But I am proof
: positive, sugar and wheat are BAD for you! :) Glad you're having
: success with the life changes, as they say "you are what you eat"!!

: Peace,

: : Just for fun, and for no other particular reason, I've been
: : following a very strict new way of eating (new to me) and I've been
: : feeling a tremendous amount of energy and general overall good
