The Candida Diet

Go here to find out everything about the Candida Diet. I have listed all of my links. Enjoy and Happy Candida Free Dieting!

This hub will be dedicated to a diet to help battle Candida overgrowth. Candida is now and epidemic growing out of control. Candida can lead to many issues of your health. Doctors are a great contributor to this epidemc by filling us with antobiotics for everything. Antibiotics kill all bacteria in our bodies, good and bad, causing Candida to grow out of control. So I am going to post recipes that are allowed on a Candida diet plus a list of foods that are allowed on the diet. So keep checking back and see what is new.

6 large egg yolks

2 cups pure, cold-pressed safflower oil

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

1/4 cup of water (purified)

1 teaspoon fo sea salr (optional)

1 teaspoon of dry mustart

Beat egg yolks for 2 minutes in a food processor or with and electric mixer. Pour 1 cup of the oil into a measuring cup. Very slowly drizzle a thin stream of oil from the cup into the yolks, while beating at high speed, until all has been used; mixture should become thick. Drizzle remaining cup, stil beating on high speed. Add lemon juice, water, salt, and mustard; mix. The mayonnaise is ready! Keep in a container with a tight fitting lid and refrigerate until ready to use.

You must use clarified butter on a Candida diet. By clarifiying the butter you are getting rid of all of the milk sugars in the butter.

Microwave Method

1 pound of unsalted butter

Cut butter into 1/4 inch squares;place in micro-wave safe container. Heat on medium high just enough to melt butter and completely separates. Skim of the white residue from the top and discard. Pour the clear yellow liquid into a storage container. Discard the residue on the bottom of container. When cool, cover and store with a tight lid and refrigerate.
