Tips for Candida Diet Success
General Guidelines
- Stay hydrated with plenty of filtered water (add lemon for flavor and detox benefits)
- Limit carbohydrates to 60g or less per day
- Focus on non-starchy vegetables, healthy fats, and quality proteins

Implementation Strategy
- Start with a 2-4 week cleanse phase with the strictest adherence
- Gradually reintroduce limited low-sugar fruits after initial cleanse

- Monitor your symptoms and adjust your diet accordingly
- Be aware of die-off symptoms during the initial phase (fatigue, brain fog, digestive upset)
Remember:
The Candida diet is not just about avoiding certain foods, but also about healing your gut and rebuilding a healthy microbiome. Consistency is key, and results may take time. Always consult with a healthcare provider before making significant dietary changes.
