I live mostly off of masquete chicken, tostitos, boiled egg whites, and distilled water. From time to time something else is thrown in though. For some time I was eating brown rice as well.
I stopped taking most supplements a while ago, and then gave up my vitamins even, thinking I've been on the mega dose of vitamin B and E etc for long enough. I did have days where I felt great. Then, probably because of something I ate, I had anxiety yesterday and today. I'm thinking its the cranberry juice, which I knew I shouldn't drink, but my mom went shopping and got the wrong kind and I didn't want it to go to waste. It was juice drink, meaning only 27% cranberry juice, and had things in it which might be bad for candida. Also, its pasterized, which means all the helpful enzymes the body needs to properly digest it, have been killed off. Also I eat oranges and bannannas. That might be a mistake. Hard to tell what it is exactly, since it sometimes doesn't kick in until the next day.
I space food out throughout the day, and make sure I'm well fed, eating even when I'm not that hungry, if convieyant and I remember, because that does help, and I feel rather tired from lack of daily calorie intact also.
I only take Saw Palmetto and garlic twice a day now, and nothing else. Saw palmetto works well for inflated prostate, which is what surely made me wake up all night urinating, because I had no trouble getting it all out after I started taking it. Its one of the most widely used supplements around for that reason. I also take garlic extract I got at Sam's Wholesale Club, because it is said to kill candida, and I already had some from when I tried it a year ago. It didn't work then since I was still a sugar junky. I took Primal Defense for a few weeks, but didn't see much differance in that.
Some say just eat some coconuts and you'll make improvement. Anyway, I'm going to give up oranges, and stop drinking the juice for a time, and see if my anxiety goes away. It is far better than it was when I was having sugar cravings.
Oh, and taking naps and ignoring any possible schedule helps also. I've had some great anxiety free days recently, which are rather rare for me. I read about how someone else was having a problem with their B vitamin supplement, and gave up mine. I don't know... give up sugar and starch, and then fly on my own... not sure what works and what doesn't, and I have tried just about everything.
