Sugar Free

I'm not a very good blogger but I do try. Today I've started a sugarless, white flourless diet. Why? Because it's no good for you and it calls to me. Who's calling? Probably Candida in my system that makes me crave only sugar and have no interest in "real" food. So, I'm starving them out. Haha!
Since I've craved sugar for as long as I can remember I suspect I am ridden with Candida and/or their friends. I've had a sort of "thrush" rash on my arm for a long time now and even with remedies that clear up Sam's, mine keeps coming back. This makes me concerned that my body is the perfect place for infection right now. Stress, acute grief, adorable small children that I interact with 24/7...I need rest and cleansing! :)
So although my Facebook says I'm going Sugar/white flour free, the truth is I'm trying to follow an anti-Candida diet. What does the entail? Pretty much reversing everything that I eat. I'd challenge you to think about what foods "call" to you and then carefully consider if they truly nourish your body. Things like white flour, sugars (including all corn syrups), powdered milk and so on have had anything that might have been redeeming blasted out of them. Your body has to take it's own resources to digest them, leaving you worse off then before you ate. They should be called anti-foods or something...
So for the month of April (save once maybe around the 21st) I'm going to stay away from Sugar/white flour, learn to eat things I wouldn't normally and try to follow an anti-Candida diet. If you need to do something similar I'd challenge you to come along side me for the month. We can do it, together. :)
