Most probably anyone who ever tried to adopt a Candida diet, already knows, that the first step in relieving yeast infection symptoms is to eliminate refined carbohydrates, i.
e.
sugars, and artificial sweeteners from theirs daily meals.
It is also known for a long time that Candida is fed by sugars and once you restrict or even eliminate sugars from your diet, this is made in order to starve the yeast.
The biggest problem at this point is sugar cravings, which can be very strong.
Sugar cravings can be as strong as a desire to smoke for a smoker or thirst for an alcoholic.
Sugar cravings are the result of dieting habits and Candida overgrowth.
When the yeast is defeated, cravings are gone.
To defeat severe cravings the tactic chosen by some of smoking quitters can be used: you should eat something else but sugar.
The whole food is the best for this purpose as well as for your new Candida diet.
In case if you just can not eliminate sugars at once, try the slow way: gradually eliminate anything that ends in -ose, such as glucose, maltose, dextrose, etc.
It can take you a week or even two weeks, but it is a lot easier.
Another remedy to help the process is stevia.
Stevia is a tropical plant, which can add some sweetness to your tea or coffee.
And it relieves the cravings.
Stevia can be used for tea making, which is a sweet, delicious and refreshing drink.
It does not taste like sugar, but is adding some sweetness to any drink it is added to.
Processed stevia, which can be found on the internet in liquid or powdered form is easier to use as it is coming in a more comfortable package.
The only thing you should remember, using stevia is that it is only a transition remedy, do not use it all the time.
It can be used only in transition period and when you are craving for something sweet.
Another side of quitting sugars is to eliminate sweet bakery.
Forget donuts, take some fruits instead.
Do not drink sodas, make some lemonade - it has less or no sugar and an acidic pH.
