Day 2

Not going to lie, this morning was rough! I woke up at 5 am with lots of sweating, heart a pounding and chills.  After about an hour, I was fine again!  I gave my body lots of good food today! It was surprisingly easy!  Lunch consisted of red onion and green and red bell peppers sliced thinly.  I added some oregano and chicken to it! Yummy! :) Dinner consisted of a roma tomato chopped up, fresh basil, zucchini and chicken.  I also steamed some broccoli. :)  Of course I snacked throughout the day every couple of hours and had a total of 4 shakes for protein and added nutrients.  Leave a comment below to let me know you are following. I also can share recipes if you are interested, just ask. :)

Day 1

After writing for the last 30 minutes, something happened and I lost everything I just spewed. :(

Let me be brief, as it's definetly time to hit the hay...

Day 1 of 90 went very well actually!  The cravings have started but nothing I can't handle...yet. I'm sure you will here me complain more about them in the days to come.  This isn't my first rodeo at cleanses and restorations so I can  tell you that it never fails, every time you put restrictions on the foods you can eat ( or anything for that matter) it only makes you want it MORE! Am I right?

I wanted to make mention, after it was discussed on FB with a friend today.  I need to put a little "disclaimer" out there if you will.  If this Candida diet is something that interests you PLEASE seek the advice of your MD or Chiropractor to see if this is right for you! :)  A great source for information is http://www.thecandidadiet.com/

This is most definetly the shortened version than I just wrote.  Peace to you all!

Blesssings,

Why NO Fruit?

Some people have been wondering why I am not consuming fruit on this "internal restoration".  The whole purpose of this for me is to combat Candida Albicans.  Below is a summary of what Candida Albicans is and why it is so important to treat it.  Scroll down to find the symptoms one could have if they have an issue with Candida Albicans.  It affects so many people, young, old, female, male.  So, dear friends, the purpose of not eating fruit for the 90 days is because fruit contains fructose, a sugar, and sugar feeds the Candida. Please read on for more! I copied this summary from holistichelp.net :




Candida Albicans is a yeast that occurs naturally in the human body. Normally it lives in harmony with a variety of other microorganisms and actually performs a couple important functions.  The problem occurs when something upsets the balance of bacteria in the body and this allows the yeast organism to proliferate and take over all the healthy microorganisms.

It normally resides in the intestinal tract, mouth, throat and genitals, however it can burrow holes in the intestinal tract, enter the blood stream and then make it's way into any organ of the body. To make matters worse it emits over 70 different toxins into the body. Some people may even become allergic to the yeast itself.

Once this hardy organism proliferates in the body, it wrecks havoc in many ways and is the initiator of many common maladies, conditions, syndromes and illnesses in our population.

Some of the most frequent Candida symptoms are:

• abdominal gas and bloating


• headaches


• migraines


• excessive fatigue


• cravings for alcohol


• anxiety


• vaginitis


• rectal itching


• cravings for sweets


• inability to think clearly or concentrate


• hyperactivity


• mood swings


• diarrhea


• constipation


• hyperactivity


• itching


• acne


• eczema


• depression


• sinus inflammation


• pre-menstrual syndrome


• dizziness


• poor memory


• persistent cough


• earaches


• low sex drive


• muscle weakness


• irritability


• learning difficulties


• sensitivity to fragrances and/or other chemicals


• cognitive impairment


• thrush


• athlete's foot


• sore throat


• indigestion


• acid reflux


• chronic pain

Results WILL Happen...

Here's what you can expect if you choose to change your diet for internal restoration:

• Decreased or non-existent inflammation
•  Emotional Stability
• Improved Digestion
• Clearer Complexion
• Improved Elimination
• Increased Energy
• Balanced Hormones
• Decreased Pain in Joints
• Better Nutrient Absorption
