| One of the most popular reasons for doing a cleansing type of diet is weight loss. Its true that some colons contain up to 20 pounds of compacted fecal matter. Yeah I said it “20 Pounds of Shit” … After a cleanse you will feel lighter, fitter and skinnier, even if your body's total fat does not immediately drop. However, if you combine a Colonic Irrigation with a change in your diet, introducing some freshly squeezed juices and Psyllium husks to aid the cleanse, then you will see sustained weight loss. Sustaining that weight is the hardest if you don’t know how…Your newly invigorated body will be more able to metabolize food, and you will also find you have more energy to work that excess weight off! Have you ever suffered from symptoms like headaches, fatigue, mood swings, poor concentration or sweet cravings? If so, and you don't know why, there's a good chance you might have too much of a yeast named Candida Albicans in your gut. To eliminate Candida from your system, you need to do a Candida Cleanse, basically just a colon cleanse but with a strict diet once you have finished your cleanse.... So what is the Candida Diet? How can you treat Candida? Everyone's experience is different, but a basic Candida treatment plan involves these four stages. 1. Detox with a colon cleanse 2. Reduce your Candida population 3. Repopulate your intestine with 'good' yeasts and bacteria 4. Improve your diet There are a wide variety of supplements, herbs and over the counter remedies that can help with your Candida. click here. The first stage in any Candida diet is a colon cleanse. The idea is to clean out the debris from your intestine, flushing out some of the Candida yeast and exposing the rest so that other Candida treatments can kill them. Cleansing is one of the healthiest things you can do for your body. What Causes the Toxic Build-up? We put our colons under a great deal of stress with our modern lifestyle. Years of fast food, cigarettes, prescription drugs and alcohol keep the colon busy. Add Candida to that mixture, and you have a recipe for an unhealthy colon. The colon is the waste pipe of the body. Once the nutrients are taken out and processed, the waste from your food intake is passed through the colon and expelled from your body. What many people don't realise is that this fecal matter, including the Candida yeast, can get backed up and solidified in your colon. Without a regular cleansing programme it can get trapped there for years or decades, slowly releasing toxins into your system. The waste matter hardens, fixing itself to the wall of the colon. Sometimes an unhealthy colon will have attached to it up to 20 pounds of this matter that just won't go away! Ever wondered why you sometimes feel heavy and bloated? This waste material can serve as a breeding ground for Candida, releasing toxins into your bloodstream. They can spread through your body, affecting every part of it. Hence the need to flush out your system with a good cleanse. Cleansing - the best way to clean your liver, lose weight, detox your body and restore your body to perfect health. Cleansing and fasting give you a chance to get in tune with your body and really get back to basics. Basically it forces you to give up the vices that you take for granted, breaking all your bad eating habits and stating from the beginning. It gives you clarity on what your body really needs, not craves. Most importantly though, whether you're trying to lose weight, improve your health or both, remember that a good cleansing diet is like a good holiday - you will feel refreshed, happy and ready for the world again! Beauty and Cleansing There are many surprising ways in which cleansing can make you more beautiful. Some you may have heard of, for example weight loss and improved complexion. But there are several other benefits that you may not have heard of. Stronger Nails & Shinier Hair Your hair and nails need a steady supply of nutrients to grow and remain strong. But if your bloodstream contains toxins, they can make your hair dull and nails soft. Doing a cleanse makes sure that they get only the right nutrients, and will do them far more good than a host of expensive cosmetic products Reduced Body Odor If you suffer from body odor, it is actually possible to tell which cleanse you need, just by the particular smell of that odor. For example, an oily smell means liver problems, while a rotten odor suggests issues with your kidney. Doing the right cleanse will restore the organ to health and get rid of that odor! Cured Halitosis & Bad Breath If you have bad breath, the first thing to check is your oral hygiene. However, some people also suffer from bad breath related to a toxic colon. Reduced Cellulite Cellulite affects more than 90% of adult women. There are several causes, but one of the most important is the level of toxins in your system. The first place that your body stores dietary toxins is in the cells just under your skin. Poisoning these cells with junk food and soda can disrupt this layer of cells, causing the cellulite. Cleansing can reverse this process. Weight Loss A happy side effect of cleansing, and the healthy low fat diet that precedes and follows a cleanse, is usually weight loss. Juices and raw vegetables are healthy foods and great for your diet, so remember when your cleansing that a healthy system is only one of the great results that you can expect! Flat Stomach Have you ever had to put your skinny jeans back in the closet because you feel bloated? Cleansing can help! A healthy, functioning gastro-intestinal system reduces bloating and flattens your stomach, before you even start losing weight. Glowing Complexion Princess Diana was one of the first public advocates of Colonics - she used them three times a week to get her glowing complexion. If you're feeling washed out, tired and looking haggard, chances are that a revitalising cleanse will restore your skin to health. More Beautiful Eyes Your eyes are a map of your body - problems elsewhere are reflected by redness and dark rings around the pupil. A good cleanse will restore your internal systems to health, replace any greyness or redness in your eyes with a sparkling white, and perhaps even lighten up the color of your iris! Foods to Avoid on the Candida Diet Successful Anti-Candida dieters normally report improvements within the first month of the diet. It is a tough lifestyle change at first, with so many food groups excluded. However, when the Candida infection is beaten, all of the foods to avoid can be slowly reintroduced into your diet. Click on each of the food groups below to find out more. Aged cheeses Holistic practitioners recommend that Candida sufferers dramatically reduce their intake of dairy products. This is because Candida prevents the body from processing fat properly. At the very least dieters should eliminate aged cheeses - a small amount of swiss or mozzarella cheese every once in a while should not hurt. Additives & Preservatives If you see something on the list of ingredients that you don't know or can't pronounce, chances are that you should steer clear. One common preservative is Citric Acid, a chemical derived from yeasts and often found in supermarket tomatoes. Non-organic food like meat or eggs can also contain residual levels of antibiotics and steroids that were used during the farming process. These chemicals can disrupt your friendly bacteria and allow the Candida yeast to flourish. Alcohol Alcohol is high in sugar, sugar that can feed the growth of the Candida yeast and put stress on your organs and immune system. Mixing alcohol and Candida is like opening all your windows in a house fire - you don't want to feed the problem. Wine, beer and spirits are all off-limits, but remember these can be reintroduced when the diet starts to work! Caffeine and Other Stimulants That's right, its time to cut out that cup of coffee in the mornings. Not only do the sugar and sweetener kickstart your Candida, the caffeine gives it just as much of a boost as it does to you! Even decaf tea and coffee are to be avoided if possible, as they contain residual levels of caffeine. As for energy drinks like Red Bull, their levels of sugar, caffeine and taurine are so high that no serious Candida dieter should ever go near them. Chocolate Often Candida sufferers have sweet cravings, which makes it doubly important to stay off the chocolate! Its not you that needs the chocolate, its the Candida telling you that its hungry. Put your Candida on a starvation diet - don't eat chocolate. Fruits While fruit is good for you in so many ways, its high sugar content does you no favors when it comes to Candida. Like other foods to avoid on this page, the sugar helps to feed the growth of Candida. Avoid fresh, dried and canned fruit. Especially avoid fruits like melon that may contain mould. You should even cut out your morning glass of orange juice while you're fighting Candida. Glutenous foods Avoid foods containing Gluten - basically anything made with wheat, rye, oats or barley. Cut out foods like wheat bread, rye bread and pasta. Some people are very sensitive to Glutens, if you're not careful your body will spend all of its time combating these glutenous foods instead of attacking the Candida. Mushrooms Mushrooms are fungi, and Candida loves to feed on mould and fungi. Cutting mushrooms out of your diet will help to restrict the infection's growth in your system. Also make sure to avoid truffles, as these are part of the same family. Nuts Any nuts that are high in mould, like peanuts, can promote a Candida outbreak. Nuts that were cracked a long time ago, for example sliced almonds, also have time to develop mould. If you like nuts, stick to freshly cracked or whole ones. Sugars, honeys and syrups That includes any chemical ending in 'ose', like lactose, sucrose, fructose etc. Sugars feed the growth of your Candida infection. This means stay away from the soft drinks too! Many people don't realise that sweeteners can also make your Candida worse, as well as keeping your sweet tooth alive and well. You may think that sugar-free diet cola is a safe option on the Candida diet, but the fact is that it can feed your Candida just as much as a really sugary soft drink. Spices, Curries & Hot foods Even a mild curry can destroy the friendly bacteria in your gut and allow the Candida yeast to flourish. Try to avoid anything that tastes spicy. Vinegar Vinegar is made in a yeast culture, depletes the stomach of acids and can also cause inflammation in your gut. There are reports that one particular vinegar, apple cider vinegar, can be helpful in combating yeast. Other types should be avoided. Candida Recipes So you've figured out that you are suffering from Candida, and you have found the list of foods on this website that can help cure it.
