What is the Candida Diet and What Can You Eat While on It?

We all want to be healthier. That's why health goals are among the most common New Years Resolutions every year. But deciding exactly how to tackle that goal can vary greatly from person to person. 

The candida diet is one potential avenue. But what is the candida diet?

It's a diet that works to help reduce the presence of candida, a common fungus, in the body. Candida is quite common and is often found in the mouth, skin, digestive tract, or vagina. 

The candida fungus is usually harmless. But a build-up of candida can eventually lead to infection or other health problems. As such, the candida diet can help to reduce the presence of the fungus in the body and alleviate such health concerns or issues. 

Read on to learn more about this exciting new diet. 


What Does A Candida Infection Look Like? 

This may be the first time you're hearing about the candida fungus in your body. These fungus species actually help to aid digestion and absorption from food. A little bit of candida can be helpful, but a lot can be dangerous. 

A candida infection can cause a number of painful or irritating symptoms. Common symptoms include nausea, bloating, or even chronic fatigue. The risk of developing skin issues or urinary tract infections both increase with a higher presence of candida. 

Such an infection can even have an effect on mental health, causing mood swings or the onset of depression. Not all forms of candida can provoke these symptoms. In fact, of the many varieties, there are only 15 species of candida that have the potential for infection. 

The most common troublemaker is Candida albicans, which is a variety that causes more than half of the known cases of infection. 


What Is The Candida Diet? 

Good question. If you're trying to avoid the above symptoms, it's helpful to limit the amount of fungus in your body. 

The candida diet creates a meal plan that excludes sugar, gluten, alcohol, and certain dairy products. These kinds of foods can actually help to increase or even grow fungus in your body. Instead of these substances, the candida diet encourages replacement with natural-sugar fruits, green vegetables, and foods that are gluten-free. 

That might sound pretty simple. But you're also probably curious to why certain foods are good or bad when it comes to candida overgrowth. 


What's The Benefit of Gluten Free? 

Studies on the effects of gluten in the body are still ongoing. But there are many claims that gluten can contribute to damage of the intestinal linings. Many people with stomach problems agree that symptoms recede after cutting gluten out of their diet. 

Intestinal damage can put you at risk for higher odds of candida based infection. As such, the candida diet removes gluten-based foods from your diet. You can refer to a candida diet guide if you need help determining which foods are okay to eat. 

Removing Sugar From Your Diet 

It's a good idea to remove sugar from your diet even if you aren't trying to prevent candida infection. Sugar has a number of negative benefits on the health of your body, teeth, and mind. Very high sugar intake increases the odds of candida infection, especially in those with less than stellar immune systems. 

Cutting out coffee with milk and sugar may seem like a difficult sacrifice, but it can be one of the best ways to help bring candida levels down. 

No More Dairy In Your Day to Day 

Speaking of milk, why is it important to avoid dairy products? Most dairy products contain lactose, which is a form of milk sugar. More than any other entity, lactose is to blame for increasing the production of candida in the body. 

Lactose also increases acidity in the body and helps foster an ideal environment for candida growth. Cutting lactose based products out of your daily eating cycle can help to significantly limit candida growth.


Cleansing Before Dieting 

Many who advocate from the candida diet also recommend performing a cleanse before beginning the dieting process. If you're not familiar with cleansing, it's a form of short-term dieting that serves to remove all toxins and negative influences from your body. 

The most common way to perform a cleanse is to drink only fluids for 48 hours. This serves to 'wash out' or 'clean out' your body of other things. Drinking water, juice, or broth is common while cleansing. 

Some people can't go that long without eating solid food. In this case, many cleanses are done by only eating vegetables for a given period of time. The most important aspect of a cleanse is the release of all negative influences on the body. You want to flush them out. 

You must be careful when performing a cleanse. While it can be good for your digestive system, some people feel fatigued, headaches, or irritability due to low caloric intake. Ensure that you're still providing your body with proper nutrients during your cleanse period. 


Living Healthier With A Candida Diet 

No one wants to experience the negative repercussions of a candida infection. These problems can range from irritating to seriously damaging, depending on the severity.

What is the candida diet, then? A way to help protect the health of your body and mind. It's essential that you understand the steps you can take to limit candida levels.

Gluten Free Flour Recipe For Cakes, Breads, Pizza, & More!

There are more people with Celiac every year and even more people going gluten-free by choice for nutritional purposes. It's easier to find gluten-free alternatives these days than in previous years, but it is still challenging for some baked goods. Here is a great recipe for gluten free flour that you can use in cakes, breads, pizza, and many other food items. And it won't break your budget either! 

Gluten-Free Flour Mixture 

Yield: 3 cups 

This mix can be used as a one-to-one cup substitution for wheat in most recipes. Gluten-free flour, mix the following ingredients. 

Ingredients

- 2 cups white rice flour 

- 2/3 cup potato starch* 

- 1/3 cup tapioca starch 

All of the above items can be found at most local supermarkets. Whole Foods carries all of these products for instance. These items can be found at less cost at various international food markets. If you do not want to mix your own gluten free flour mixture, most supermarkets carry ready-made gluten free mixtures. 

Binding Agent 

All gluten-free recipes require a binding agent to make up for the lack of gluten. For each cup of gluten-free flour (or flour mix) use an appropriate amount of xanthan or guar gum (found in local markets): 1 tsp for cakes 2 tsps for breads or pizza. 1 tsp works fine for most cookies.

Now enjoy that dough and use the energy to make dough!

Vegan Gluten-Free Thai Som Tum Recipe

This is a popular Thai dish, called Som Tum (spicy papaya salad or papaya kimchi), that my mom used to make for us when we were kids and since we always begged for more, she would end up making an asinine amount. For just a week or two our fridge would be stuffed to the brim with this spicy deliciousness. But only for a week or two at most, this stuff never lasted very long at our house. So here’s what you need to make this tasty and healthy side that will clear your sinuses and make you cry for more. Enjoy this vegan and gluten-free delicious frugal feast!

Ingredients 

1 tablespoon sugar
1 lime
1 lemon
2 cups green papaya, shredded
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon vegan fish sauce alternative
3 thai chili peppers
3 tomatoes cut unto medium sized chunks
Handful of cilantro, chopped

Directions

Place the garlic cloves and the chilies in a high quality food processor and process until crushed into chunks. Set aside. Peel papayas until the whites show and then shred into long pieces using a mandolin. Squeeze juice of lemon and lime over papaya. Mix with sugar, vegan fish sauce, garlic, chili peppers, cilantro and tomatoes.

And that’s it! It’s such an easy dish and one that’s so nutritious for you too. It’s best when served cold and is so refreshing with the sweetness of the papaya, the saltiness from the citrus, and the sourness from the fish sauce. And you know that I’m loving all over that spicy kick from the thai peppers.

Make this dish, and then eat it as a side for whatever your eating, or top it on a fish or another protein as a garnish, or maybe even stuff your face with this stuff for breakfast. OK I am just kidding about the breakfast part. Enjoy the gluten-free vegan frugal feast!

Supplement Review: Vega Sport Performance Protein Powder

VEGA BABY! The best tasting and mixing protein might be the best for you!

Vega has probably the strongest reputation in the world for vegan, natural plant-based protein powders. This is with good reason. It has got to be the best tasting and mixing plant-based protein powder out there, and extremely healthy to boot! This product, and Vega in general, is a wonderful response to a supplement industry that is dominated by whey / casein / soy proteins (I take them as well but I admit they are all highly processed and many of us get in enough soy as it is), artificial sweeteners, and chemical preservatives. It was created by professional Ironman triathlete, vegan, and best-selling health author Brendan Brazier.

Creator of Vega Brendan Brazier

First off it is comprised of several excellent plant protein sources such as yellow pea, SaviSeed, brown rice, hemp, and alfalfa proteins. That's right, no soy protein in this bad boy. It's also dairy and gluten free as well. It also adds in extra Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's) and Glutamine for extra muscle benefits. A digestive enzyme blend is included as well to aid in the breakdown of the protein powder for improved ease of use by your body. The only other ingredients are natural flavors, stevia extract (probably the healthiest low/no calorie sweetener), and salt! Only .6 grams of fat per serving per 25 grams of protein serving size!!! Sign me up!

Honestly, after using Vega for just a few weeks now, I am seriously considering going vegetarian or even going vegan in the near or not too distant future. I've always loved my protein powder but been afraid of giving up my whey and casein, and depending too strongly on soy everything. With Vega, I know it is very feasible to make a huge improvement in your health and diversify your protein intake. It's not always the most frugal price, but you get ever penny's worth with Vega protein powder! Try it out, I know you'll love it!

Frugal Healthy Recipe: Fro-Yo Frozen Yogurt

By Marissa Bognanno, The Frugal Diet contributing Chef, Zumba Instructor, & Author of "The Boot" Blog

I'm always trying to recreate American goodies that I can't find here in Italy; jambalaya, fried rice, chili, muffins...sadly not everything turns out exactly the same. Frozen yogurt is one of those things on my list of Things I Have To Eat As Soon As I Return To America, and I had the most intense craving for it recently that it had to be made. Stat! Truly Yogurt in Wellesley, MA (been there anybody?) has the best frozen yogurt everrrr! There's even a photo of Zo and I on the wall! (This doesn't get you free yogurt apparently. Fail.) Anyway, as I was blending my yogurt and fresh fruits I kept thinking about how mine was going to be exactly the same as Truly's, and that I was going to set up a little stand outside and people would come for miles around to taste this American yogurt thing and I would be rich! Rich I tell you!

Alas.

It was gross. Well, no, not gross, but just yogurty. It literally was like, "Wow, I'm eating yogurt that's frozen. Not Frozen Yogurt." But if you want a healthy snack on a hot day, it's not that bad. 

Frozen Yogurt

(pretty sure I got it from Real Simple, but I can't find the link)

Blend until smooth one container of plain yogurt with 1/4 cup fresh berries or banana. Add 1 teaspoon sugar (or honey) or more to taste. Freeze for at least 1 hour or until semi-firm. 

I mean it looks good doesn't it? I guess I just had Truly on the brain. Oreo and coffee frozen yogurt twist? I'm sorry, it just doesn't get much better than that! I'll forgo my Bikini Blast any day for that!

Roasted Salty Sweet Chickpeas Vegan Gluten-Free Recipe

What could be better than a snack item that is actually good for you? (Don’t answer that. Because though fibrous and healthy things are delightful, what I really want are Cheez-Its. But pretend I didn’t say that.) Chickpeas, people, aka garbanzo beans! They’re the new thing! Roast these vegan and gluten-free treats up and they get all crispy and crunchy. You can put them on salad, eat them with friends over beers, snack on them while you watch period films - the possibilities are so tempting! 

Roasted Salty Sweet Chick Peas

1 can pre-cooked chick peas 
1 tbs olive oil
1 tbs agave nectar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp red or black pepper
1/4 tsp salt
sprinkling granulated stevia 

Give the chick peas a good rinse and put in a bowl. Spoon the oil on top and then the honey (Use the same tablespoon and the agave nectar just slides right off - a cooking tip that I love!) Sprinkle on the rest of the spices and pour onto a baking sheet covered with wax paper. (It helps them crunch up more). Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until shriveled looking. 

Modifications: 

Maybe you're not a salty-sweet kind of person? Substitute the sugar and honey for a tad more salt and spice. Or if you want all sweet, omit the salt and add more cinnamon and sugar to take things to the next level! You'll love them.

Enjoy the frugal fitness gluten-free vegan recipe!
