Candida Diet Meal Plan

If you're on the Candida Diet, good luck to you - it is no easy task, and to be honest, I didn't last very long.  But I was always on the hunt to find new recipe ideas.  I did find some things that worked for us for the short time we were on the diet, so I thought I'd share in the hopes that someone might find some benefit.  Good luck to you.

A few notes about our version of the diet - we found that soy sauce wasn't an issue for us, so we used a little soy sauce on the fried rice.  I have actual recipes for these meals that I'd be happy to share - just comment with which recipes you'd like and I'll pass them along.  I know some versions of the diet don't allow things like sweet potatoes and popcorn, but ours did and they were a huge lifesaver!  We ate them often.  I was ALWAYS snacking on pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, almonds, and cashews between meals to try to not lose weight.  I didn't lose any, but I ate a TON.  I made double and triple these recipes so that we'd have leftovers, and I ate 5 meals a day, plus snacks.  It was a very expensive diet for us.  :(

Finally, we allowed ourselves one "splurge" per week, usually on Friday night.  In the week below it was the baked apples with cinnamon.  I used green apples and simply cut them up and baked them with a bunch of cinnamon on them.  They were delicious!
