Fasting is good for you, although not if taken to extremes... but we know that.

What do people know about candida in their bodies? Anti candida diets are really good I find, at shifting weight quickly and making you feel better. Although you may feel groggy for a couple of days at the beginning. You're not allowed gluten, sugar (no fruit at the beginning), alcohol products or dairy. Instead you have lean proteins, healthy fats and non-starchy vegetables.

You can also take a supplement called citricidal, you take 12 or so drops in water in the morning - it tastes unbelievably foul - but helps kills of the candida in your digestive system. I started this a month after Asher was born, so start of November, and I was back to my pre-baby weight before Christmas. The best thing is that, after the first few days, I felt really well and full of energy.
