After diagnosing my many random symptoms, my holistic practitioner determined that I have candida overgrowth. Essentially yeast taking over my entire body.
Solution? Candida diet: http://www.buzzle.com/articles/candida-diet-food-list.html. What causes an overgrowth of yeast in 80% of the human population is TOO MUCH SUGAR! Natural, unatural, you name it. We eat too much sugar and yeast.
So today was day 2 on my candida diet. I'm going to detox for two weeks and pray the result is a healthy system. I need to cut all starch, all sugars (one fruit a day max), all liquor, coffee (as much as possible), and vinegars or anything fermented.
This will be tough, but I need more energy, i need to glow again and i need to feel like all these workouts are actually making a difference (aka want my old body back).
Below is my food diary and workout diary from today.
