still tired

I'm so sick of being tired, foggy and half alive.
I've been lurching from one addiction to the next to get me through the day and it's killing me.

From caffeine to Ritalin to over the counter stimulants to get me through my day... to sugary sweet things (even fruit) to feed the gaping open fish mouths of the candida living in my gut.
I don't feel like my life is my own.
I feel like I'm living to feed my gut full of parasites and candida.

I've been up for only a few hours.
I've done some good, productive things though not too strenuous and I'm already dizzy, foggy and ready for a nap.

Time for a change in diet.

I'll tell you one thing I won't be doing to fix this: counting calories.

How much evidence do we need before we see the truth?
Diets are unhealthy.

"...lost weight, of course, but in addition their hair started to fall out, small cuts took longer to heal, their metabolism slowed down so they rarely moved when they didn't have to, they felt cold all the time, they had slower reflexes, they felt weak, their normal interests in the world around them narrowed, they suffered from depression, irritability and food obsessions..."
- Low Calorie Diet Myths

Between the yo yo dieting,
the stimulant abuse,
the low fat NONSENSE,
a gut full of yeast from too many grains
over too many years,
and relentless self-blaming,
I've put myself in this state of lurching illness.

It's a beautiful, sunny, magnificent day and all I can think about is finishing this blog post so I can lie down.
Not good.

But I'll fix it.

Life isn't meant to be half lived.

I want a life that's whole.

*Lisa's Video Pick of the Day*
Eating refined white flour,
bread,
pasta,
rice,
even whole grains,
create an environment for candida to thrive in the gut.
Gluten free? Doesn't matter.
Pasty foods will always make a pasty gut.
Suffering through this detox is enough to convince me never to eat like that again.
This video says DON'T EAT BREAD ALTERNATIVES such as gulten free anything
or low carb bread.
Just don't.
They are "franken-foods" like Frankenstein. Dead but walking around.

Hi Lisa,
I too am suffering from my yeasty problems today. I had some bone broth soup for breaky and had the tummy gurgles and lack of appetite all day.

I hope you feel better.

May God bless you,
Catherine

Wow - it just so happens that my neighbor just gave me a big ol' bag of COLLARD GREENS! I was going to saute 'em w/garlic & jalapeno, but I'll save a few big leaves for wrappers...
