If you're looking for a Candida free diet, please give out a sigh or two before you proceed to read this. I asked you to do such because a Candida free diet is saying goodbye to the food that has been spoiling your lard belly for quite some time now. Nobody wants to go on a diet except of course for movie stars, models and those skinny, weight-conscious people. Nothing beats munching that pepperoni and cheese Italian pizza while watching a kick-ass pay per view event. As they say, all good things always come to an end and today is that day for you, buddy. Candida diet is a healthy and vegetable based diet. This diet aims to starve the system of yeast that promotes to the growth of Candida. An overgrowth of Candida leads to a lot of bad things. Bloating and stomach pains are the most common. Leaving an overgrowth of Candida as it enters the bloodstream can be fatal. This will eventually lead to death.

Don't fret. You have a long way to go if you are diagnosed with an overgrowth of Candida or Candidiasis. A healthy diet and a healthy lifestyle is a must here. What food to eat and indulge in is what this writer attempts to explore. For starters, a vegetable diet is warranted as this will starve the Candida of the sugar and mold that feed it. Vegetables such as Broccoli, Cauliflower, Cabbage, Celery, Eggplant, Onions, Peppers, Radish, Spinach, Tomatoes and Raw garlic are the right food for you. If you fancy gobbling raw garlic is really up to you (I know I don't). Not all vegetables are allowed for your diet though. Starchy vegetables are not part of the menu. If you are a voracious eater and meat is very much part of your diet, this might be a good news for you. Protein is essential in your diet as well and this is almost 100% free of sugar and mold. Beef, chicken, fish and eggs are a go. Don't push your luck too much by asking for some Grilled Herb-Crusted Pork Steaks here.

Yogurt, Nuts, Herbs and spices are a welcome addition here. Yogurts have certain probiotics that help you stay healthy and fit. The good bacteria found I yogurts will crowd the toxins in your stomach, flush them out and restore balance in your system. This will also repopulate some enzymes that will fight Candida and its growth in your system. Nuts are a source of protein as well. Except for peanuts and pistachios, all nuts have a low level of mold in its contents. Herbs and spices contain anti-oxidants and anti-fungal properties and improve over-all circulation in your system. This will improve your digestion as well but the one thing that makes herbs and spices great for your diet is that it adds taste and flavor to you already limited diet. If you do enjoy reading the morning paper with your coffee in tow, those days are numbered as well. Substitute coffee with teas. Green tea has anti-oxidant properties that even fight cancer cells. Heck, if it kills cancer cells, it sure can take care of those pesky Candida problems for you.
