I certainly appreciate the input, but that kind of eating would NEVER work for me. Right now while I’m pregnant, my blood sugar is not as easily controlled as I’d like it to be, and if I have even one serving of something that I don’t normally eat (like a bit of pineapple or some grapes, for instance), my fasting blood sugars are higher for about 24 hours.

Since I’m not only eating the way I do to try and deal with Candida but also to ward off diabetes, control my blood pressure, and deal with food addiction, I’ve learned that higher-sugar fruit, grain, starchy veggies and legumes just do NOT work for me.

There aren’t any nutrients in grain, legumes, and starchy veggies that I can’t get from other foods that work better for me. I feel a TINY bit differently about fruit, but I don’t NEED fruit to be healthy, and I certainly can’t tolerate much (if any) while trying to address the Candida issue. Heck, even too many cooked onions give me issues. *sigh*

I wish this wasn’t true for me. I wish I could eat whatever I wanted and be healthy. I wish I didn’t have to limit my diet the way I know I have to in order to get healthy. That’s a “head” issue that I still have to work on though — accepting the fact that I’m probably never going to be able to eat certain foods and stay healthy.
