Candida Diet

When I first found out I had candida I was overweight and sick. Most of my life I had been thin and I'm sure it was the yeast that made me blow up. Then, over the next couple of years, as I followed the candida diet, my weight went down to that of high school days when I was very thin. I didn't mind that so much, but it took away all my muscle tone and my shoulders especially looked like someone from a concentration camp! I don't follow the diet as strictly as I once did (but I should to feel better), and have gained a little weight back, but I still don't feel like I have gained back any muscle. I have added a little around the waist and stomach, but basically nowhere else. Those are typical place for a middle age woman, but not welcome!

I really believe my basic body type is thin and maybe yours is too. I just don't like not being ever to expose my shoulders, and my upper arms and upper thighs are just flab. I'm up to about 120 and am 5'6 but would like to have some muscle tone. I know candida can cause muscle wasting from dysbiosis.


I have also lost in my shoulder area. In fact, I like to wear pull over t-shirts and I now have to buy them in the boys section, usually a size 16-18. If I buy in the adult section I look like a kid wearing his dad's big shirt. The hard part is finding any that don't have skateboards or something like that on them. I'm 47 so kinda too old for that stuff, I'm from Okla, so end up wearing a lot of OU shirts even though I don't give a flip about sports.


I've lost alot of weight in my shoulder area also. I wonder why that is? I actually weigh 10 pounds less than in high school and I don't like that at all.


I didn't intentionally go on the candida diet, i was reacting to everything so awfully that it was imposed on me, i ended up on this meat and veg diet only for the last 19 months.

Like her my thinest part is my shoulders, my bones protrude, my upper arms are the same as my lower arms, i can almost span them. Upper half is def worst and at that i wear size 6 jeans. Now winter is coming again it is easier to disguise top half with layers of clothes. Before all this started i weighed around 8st 4lb at 5ft 4in so could have done without all this weight loss.


Wierd!! That's where I look the thinest also, in the shoulders. There must be something to it.
