It is important to understand that sugar is what feeds and grows Candida albicans. By starving the candida of sugar, we are killing it and gaining control of our gut balance which is crucial for healing! This will take some discipline and self-control especially in the 1st Phase as you body (your candida) is demanding its sugar! PRAY, TRUST GOD, ASK HIM TO BIND YOUR FLESH. HE WILL GIVE YOU THE STRENGTH YOU NEED FOR THIS! REMEMBER… The more disciplined you are with avoiding sugars the sooner your body will heal and the sooner you will be allowed low-glycemic foods (sugar) like berries, RAW honey, and dates! Believe me… those will be the sweetest berries you’ve ever tasted! It is so worth it! PHASE 1 (SEARCH “DESSERT” IN THE SEARCH BOX) Here are some favorites, just remember that if there is honey or dates…substitute with Stevia (powdered or liquid), Xylitol, Truvia, or Swerve (Swerve seems to work best for baking).
