Not sure what happened as these threads don't get full any more. May have been a temporary glitch.

IAC, I did mention Schwarzbein Principle in the other thread. She focuses on balanced nutrition, real food, plenty of protein and cutting carbs. Her program is very easy to follow. Basically it's eat the protein you need, eat the fat you want and eat only the carbs you need to maintain an ideal weight. Mix the carbs you eat with nonstarchy vegetables or other high fiber foods to minimize sugar shock. Eat 5-6 times a day to keep blood sugar levels stable. Her program also includes exercise and stress reduction.

Threads don't get full anymore. Posts used to be limited to 150 comments, but not anymore. Not sure why you were having trouble posting on the other thread; I tried and it took mine, which I deleted.

Not only carbs, but a very thorough author on nutrition is Dr. Joel Fuhrman. The most comprehensive is Eat to Live.

Barb: You might want to post your msg. to Compumom on your other thread.

First Barb, let me say that I am not a devotee of the "yeast" theory of health and nutrition. I'm a biologist, and a lot of it is bunk. However, I have been interested for some time in anti-inflammatory diets and diets that strengthen the immune system, and I have found that following a moderate anti-yeast diet is very helpful. I'm not giving up totally on carbs because I have found that sticky ones, like squash, pumpkin, oatmeal and barley, cooked root vegetables, etc. are quite helpful when I get flare up of irritable bowel syndrome and for me, keeping my guts healthy would include lots of healthy fiber, like from beans, etc. But that's just me. Anyway, I really like this web site, I've used a lot of the recipes and they are good. But you will need to pick ones that suit your diet needs.Candida recipes

The 3 Biggest Mistakes People Make When Going Low-Carb

Ditching carbs to lose weight really sucks, but it works, which is why so many people have joined the low-carb craze. If you're cutting carbs to lose a few, just be careful not to make these three mistakes.
Going Completely Carb-Free

Think of your body as a car and its fuel is carbs. A car won't run without gas, and your body can't function without carbs. Your brain runs on glucose, which comes from carbs, so without it you'll feel tired, foggy-headed, slow-moving, and cranky. Plus, ditching carbs altogether will only make your cravings that much stronger, so when faced with a delivery of office pizza, who could blame you for devouring four slices in a row?

Eating mostly protein and going completely carb-free just isn't a diet you can sustain. Certified dietitian Leslie Langevin, MS, RD, CD, of Whole Health Nutrition says you want to make sure you're eating at least 120 to 130 grams of carbs a day - about 30 to 40 percent of your diet.Not Eating the Right Carbs

Not all carbs are created equal, so you don't want to slurp down a soda with your Instagram-worthy salad and grab a chocolate chip cookie afterward. Skip the refined and overly processed carbs like white bread, pasta, bagels, and sugary beverages and baked goods, and fuel up on carbs that are also high in fiber - they'll add to the fullness factor.

Leslie recommends one-half to one cup of whole grains like quinoa or oatmeal and one to two pieces of fruit each day. That will keep your carbs low enough to lose weight and allow your body to have the energy to function. Plus, they also offer valuable vitamins and minerals your body needs to have a strong immune system.Not Watching Portions

Low-carb doesn't automatically mean low-calorie, and just because you're not eating spaghetti, rolls, or rice doesn't mean you're not overeating other foods! Watching your portion sizes is still very important when it comes to weight loss, so be sure to monitor how many calories your meals and snacks add up to."
