Go MerryMash!!! 45 mins!
Damn that freshamn 15!! Mine was like pre-freshman 30!! That's okay, cuz it's melting off us now! No more late night junk food sessions!
I've been following the Candida Diet. I kept getting yeast infections and I felt really crappy.
No matter what I did they wouldn't go away. After I did some research I found out I had Candida (which is an overgrowth of the natural candida yeast in our intestines) Gross huh? Imagine how I feel!! lol
It can be caused by a lot of things and it's very common although most people aren't aware they have it. Some causes are eating too much sugar/ carbs (we're safe now
) and eating too much cheese, nuts and fermented foods, and taking steriods, antibiotics (big cause) and birth control pills (which also raise your estrogen levels making it hard to lose weight) When I started doing Lc all I ate was cheese!!!
Cheese +cheese+ cheese+ cheese+pistachios+nuts+cashews+creamcheese=NO WEIGHT LOSS AND A CANDIDA PROBLEM!!!
So the diet is
very healthy . Basically just eggs, meat, lots of veggies (with olive oil mmm..) and Plain, whole fat, whole milk yogurt (this type of yougrt only has 4 carbs per cup instead of 16 carbs because the milk sugars are eaten up by the yogurt making process) I add Benefibeer to the yogurt. Fibers really good for you and it's hard to get enough.
I don't have ANY sauces or anything! Basically I eat like a cavewoman that has olive oil, a stove and yogurt!!
After eating this way my yeast problem is almost gone {I also took supplements, if you think you might have Canddia ask me about them, they're important) and I lost
20 pounds last month!!!!!
Isn't that crazy!!! A lot of it was water weight, I was on my period and had just cheated when I started the month. So I probably lost about 12 pounds of fat!! I still can't beleive it! I have kept my calories at about 1600. I think, I dont remember exactly. Now I keeping them at 1200-1400. If you've been stalled or you are close to goal you might have to start counting calories.
Um....what else...OH I don't take Metabolife anymore. I had to stop because of the Candida diet, it's very strict.
I have never heard of the caffeine stalling anyone. If you go to the
General Exercise Forum , there is a sticky that talks all about ECA stacks, It's HUGE! I wouldn't recommend them unless you're really cloe to goal and haven't been able to make any progress in a long time. They make me tired after a few hours. basically they help by cutting down your appetite (%75 of weight loss) and heating up your body (metabolism boost) (%25 of weight loss)
I take a yeast free multi vitamin.
EVERYTHING is yeast free now. lol
Okay, I'm off to do my Super Sculpting The Firm video
Good luck everyone!!!! We can do this!!!
