Candida diet recipes for lunch

By admin on December 12, 2009

Your body needs a healthy lunch. While breakfast may get all of the attention for being the most important meal of the day, lunch is needed to refuel your body and keep things functioning at an optimal level.

Not only is stopping to eat lunch a good way to de-stress and take a break from your day, but it also provides nutrition for your body to ward off afternoon drowsiness and prepares your brain to tackle the next project on your to-do list.

Taking a few minutes out of your day to eat lunch is more than worth it when you consider your body and brain will work much more efficiently when it has the fuel it requires. However, keep in mind your body doesn’t need just any old fuel. Living with candida means that it is especially important for you to take care of your body and feed it, while being careful not to feed the candida.

This means, you will want to avoid sugar and white flour and focus on whole foods that have higher vitamin content and are going to give you the energy-boost you need to finish out your day.

Instead of loading up on junk from the vending machine or whatever the office decided to order-in, plan your meals in advance in order to make sure you always have a candida-friendly alternative.

What Can I Eat?

Check out some of the meal ideas below for candida lunch-on-the-go to help you get started on your grocery list. These simple candida diet lunches will show you that putting together the right kind of lunch is not difficult and the results are rather appealing!

Tuna Salad on Yeast and Sugar-Free Bread

Make a tuna salad out of canned tuna in olive oil, hard-boiled eggs, and a splash of red wine vinegar. Spread the tuna mixture on a slice or two of the bread. Add lettuce or other vegetables to complete the sandwich if desired.

Turkey and Cheese Roll-Ups

Roll turkey and swiss or cheddar cheese and secure with toothpicks. Serve with vegetable crudites, cup of chicken broth, and an apple. Dip the roll-ups in mustard if desired.

Bacon and Eggs

Yep, that’s right—for LUNCH! Take hard-boiled eggs, wrap in bacon, and secure with a toothpick. Serve with a piece of yeast-free, sugar-free toast and an orange.

Candida diet recipes for breakfast

By admin on December 12, 2009

Breakfast is known for being the most important meal of the day, yet studies show that many people skip it due to lack of time while others reach for sugar-laden breakfast items that could more easily pass as desserts.

For people who are living with problems resulting from a candida overgrowth, breakfast can play an especially important role in starting the day right by preparing the body to cleanse itself of bacteria and reducing annoying candida symptoms. Additionally, it can be easier to stay on plan the rest of the day when you begin it with a nutritionally sound and candida-friendly breakfast.

While it is difficult to pinpoint exactly when high-sugar foods like donuts and sugar puffs became staples of many people’s breakfast menus, it is easy to see the results, such as higher sugar consumption throughout the day, lower energy levels and larger waistlines. This type of eating is unhealthy for all people, and it can be very problematic for people living with candida.

No Sugary Cereal? What CAN You Eat?

Sugary cereal may be out, but there are many great foods you can incorporate to make healthy and satisfying meals—the kind of meal that fuels your body and sticks with you for hours.

Below you will find few sample breakfast meal ideas to help you learn what to eat to jumpstart your Candida diet each morning.

For the toast-fan try:

Sprouted Grain Bread with Nut Butter

Toast one or two slices of sprouted grain bread, containing no yeast or sugar (Ezekiel 4:9 Bread is a great option.) Spread a generous layer of sugar-free, all natural nut butter like almond, cashew or peanut butter.

For the hot cereal fan try:

Breakfast Rice Pudding

Combine cooked brown rice and milk and heat until warm on stove-top or in microwave. Top with cinnamon to taste.

For the eggs fan try:

Vegetable Omelets

Chop up your favorite veggies and saute them in olive oil. Then add beaten eggs and cook until firm. Top with a little cheese if desired, but avoid any moldy cheese, like blue cheese or feta.

Even if your idea of breakfast is a donut from the neighborhood coffee shop, by trying different recipes and foods you are likely to find some candida-friendly combinations that will make you feel a lot better than any pastry can. You can retrain your taste buds to enjoy natural, whole foods, and your body will thank you for it.

Candida diet recipes for your snacks

By admin on December 12, 2009

Snacking is a huge part of American culture. While snacking can be a positive thing, too many people use it as a way to ingest large amounts of sugar and processed carbs. Not only does this type of snacking deplete energy levels (after an initial and brief sugar high), it can wreak havoc on a candida condition, worsening symptoms significantly.

For people following a candida diet, the key to snacking is to create delicious and healthy snacks using candida-friendly ingredients. See the Foods to Avoid page to learn more about what types of foods can contribute to candida overgrowth.

Candida diet recipes for dessert

By admin on December 11, 2009

Eliminating candida overgrowth from one’s body requires eliminating processed foods, sugar and white flour from your diet, but it is still possible to enjoy something sweet to end a meal or to enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea.

Restricting one’s diet in such a way that there is no allowance for desserts may mean that it is easier to fall off the wagon and go back to old ways of eating, which can be detrimental to a candida condition. Instead of only depending on your will power to overcome sweet cravings, choose candida-friendly dessert recipes that are big on taste and low on candida symptom triggers.

Once you have removed the sugar-laden foods from your diet, you may find that your taste buds change and the slightly sweet desserts that wouldn’t have cut it for you in the past will be more than satisfying as you live out your new healthy candida diet lifestyle.

Sugar’s Out, So What’s In?

While you may not be able to snack on candy bars and traditional cakes, this is actually a good thing, because this type of eating not only promotes candida overgrowth but it also causes weight gain, blood sugar spikes, and mood swings and can even lead to greater health problems such as high cholesterol, diabetes and heart disease.

Instead of these enemies of a healthy lifestyle, you can satisfy your sweet tooth with fresh fruits, which will taste even sweeter when the junk is out of your diet, as well as creamy dairy products and foods sweetened with Stevia.

Unlike other artificial sweeteners that have been known to cause health problems, Stevia is a plant-derived extract that is 300 times more sweet than sugar, so it only takes a little to achieve the sweetness you desire.

Below you will find a few candida dessert ideas designed to keep your body on track as you fight candida overgrowth:

For the cheesecake lover, try:

Cheesecake Pudding

Combine softened cream cheese with a little bit of whipped heavy whipping cream. Add Stevia and a splash of vanilla, or sugar-free flavored syrups to taste. DaVinci offers a line of excellent sugar-free syrups in a variety of flavors. Chill the pudding until ready to serve.

For the peanut butter lover, try:

Peanut Butter Smoothie

Blend together a couple of tablespoons of sugar-free natural peanut butter, 1 cup of whole milk sugar-free, plain yogurt, a few tablespoons of heavy whipping cream, a few ice cubes and Stevia or sugar-free flavored syrup. If you enjoy the peanut butter chocolate combination, you can blend in a couple of teaspoons of unsweetened cocoa powder. Serve immediately or freeze until slightly slushy to enjoy an ice cream-like treat.

For the fruit lover, try:

Strawberries and Cream

Pour heavy whipping cream over frozen or fresh strawberries and sprinkle with Stevia if you prefer your fruit a little sweeter.

The combinations and possible creations are endless, so spend some time in the kitchen with candida-friendly ingredients to concoct delicious desserts you can enjoy while sticking to your candida diet. You may even have to fight off non-candida diet friends and family from eating your new desserts.
