Are you making these 3 big Candida diet mistakes when addressing your Candida overgrowth?
Most people do … and I was when I was following a traditional anti-Candida diet.
So in my video and blog today, I’m going to be diving into the 3 biggest Candida diet mistakes that you want to avoid.
3 Big Candida Diet Mistakes
The first Candida diet mistake that people make is following a traditional anti-Candida diet where you have to exclude, or dramatically restrict your carbs.
This means focusing on eating lots of protein and fat in your diet, instead of carbohydrates.
So people will then typically start excluding processed carbs from their diet like white bread, cookies, pizza and cakes and this is a good thing to do.
But this is a big Candida diet mistake. It also causes people to remove healthy carbohydrates from their diet, such as fruits, which are actually super healthy for you.
And when you remove these from your diet you are missing out on all the great nutrition that they give you, including very importantly the fiber, which you must have for a healthy balanced gut.
I have worked with hundreds of people to help them balance their overall health and gut properly and having plenty of healthy whole foods plant fiber in your diet is a must.
Yes, exclude the carbs that are damaging to the body so we are talking about highly processed carbs here, but do go heavy on the carbs that are amazing for your body like fruits and also lower the fat percentage in your diet.
The second Candida diet mistake people make is that they think supplements alone will heal their Candida overgrowth.
In truth, they will need to go deeper because a Candida overgrowth will have a root cause.
This can include gut dysbiosis, hormonal imbalances, contraceptive pills, weak immune system, viruses and pathogens, parasites and bad bacteria, which can all be causing your candida to multiply and go out of balance.
So in order to avoid this Candida diet mistake, you need to take a holistic approach to your health.
The third Candida diet mistake people make is thinking that diet alone can restore their Candida issues.
Now from what I have seen from working with a lot of people over the years and some who are already eating a very healthy diet, including raw foodists, is that they think the diet alone will heal their Candida overgrowth and are surprised when it doesn’t work for them.
So what about your own health? Are you making any of these Candida diet mistakes yourself, and if so what are you going to do to correct them?

How do you overcome blood sugar issues despite eating only fruit?
We also eat vegetables as well as fruit. Going low fat is very important for healthy blood sugar levels.
You forgot about the worst thing. Dont mix fruits with fats!
The one thing that has stopped me from using your program is that I have food sensitivities to many fruits, such as bananas, peaches, apples and oranges, lemons and limes, cherries, mangoes etc. Would those foods sensitivities go away if I just started eating a raw food diet high in fruit? Or would I be restricted and what I was eating to you too my sensitivities?
Sensitivities are usually caused by gut issues, we’ve worked with hundreds of clients over the years will all kinds of sensitivities and they were able to put this plan into practice.
I have a question. How long should I stick to the diet if I have Candida? I’ve been on the diet for a week I feel great but I would like to have a nice meal every once in awhile. How long should I stick to the diet to clear my Candida and when can I start adding normal foods again?
I have been eating fruit based raw and overt fat free for months (aside from eating fat twice) and I still had a yeast infection until I cut out spices a week and a half ago!!!
That’s very interesting! Thank you for sharing your experience.
