After week #1, you may add the disallowed vegetables in moderate amounts. Fruit - Fresh is best; frozen only if unsweetened. Serving size is indicated. Do not have more than one serving per meal--limit 3 times a day. No dried fruit or fruit juices allowed. Apple - 2 Organic Applesauce, unsweetened - 1/3 cup Apricots - 3 small Avocado - Unlimited okay Banana - 1/3 Blueberries - 2 cup Cantaloupe, cubed - 1 cup Cherries - 7 Grapes - 2 cup Grapefruit - 2 (3 2 " diameter) Honeydew Melon - 2 cup cubed Nectarine - 1/2 Peach - 2 Pear - 2 Pineapple - 2 cup Plum - 1 (2 1/4 " diameter) Raspberries - 2/3 cup Strawberries - 1 cup Tangerine - 1 (2 1/4 " diameter) Watermelon, cubed - 3/4 cup Eggs - Organic and Free Range meat and eggs are allowed except bacon, sausage, ham, hot dogs or luncheon meats (they all have sugar added).

Foods You Cannot Eat (Not Even Once!) (If you break the rules, the 14-21 days start over for the diet & the supplements) Antibiotics: Use natural herbal remedies if you begin to get sick. Antibiotics will cause a massive growth of candida! Coffee & Tea: Regular coffee, instant coffee, decaf coffee. Condiments, Sauces, Fermented Foods, & Vinegar-containing Foods: Mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, salad dressing, Worcestershire, Accent (MSG), Soy sauce, barbecue sauce, chili sauce, pickles, relishes, green olives, sauerkraut, horseradish, tamari. Cheese & Dairy: All cheeses, milk products and foods containing cheese and milk. Sour cream and sour milk products must be avoided. Once a day you may have plain yogurt with live culture and no sugar added to which you add a serving of fresh fruit. Flour, Rice, Corn, Oats, and Products Made from These: Bread, Rice Cakes, Oatmeal, Tortillas, Pastries, Bagels, Cake, Pies and Popcorn all turn to sugar in your system and feed your candida. Malt Products: Malted milk drinks, cereals, and candy. Moldy Foods: Any food that has mold on it such as left-overs or sprouts Packaged & Processed Foods: Canned, bottled, boxes, and other packaged foods usually contain yeast or refined sugar. Vegetables: Potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, winter squash (acorn & butternut), beans (except for green beans), and peas. Sprouts: Often contain molds Sugar & Sugar-containing Foods: Avoid fructose, sucrose, maltose, lactose, honey, molasses, maple syrup, maple sugar, date sugar, and turbinado sugar. Yeasts: Brewer's Yeast (check your vitamins), bakers' yeast How to plan a meal while on the Candida Diet: 1) Choose a protein (meat, chicken, fish, tuna, eggs) 2) Add as many allowed vegetables as you wish with butter & salt for flavoring. To make salad dressing, combine olive or canola oil with fresh lemon juice and desired spices. 3) Add one serving of fruit 4) Add nuts, avocados, and other sources of fat, as desired To break the diet, (no sooner than on the 15th day) add one off-limits food only. Start with the unallowed vegetables. Next add additional fresh, unsweetened fruits. Add only one new item every three days. Three days later add another. By adding slowly, you can determine which foods you must still stay away from (if your symptoms return). Honey, maple syrup, vinegar, and yeast products should be the last items you add.
