Protein is an important part of nutrition but it doesn't have to come from animal products. The World Health Organization recommends a diet of 8-10% protein. Most Americans eat about 30% protein. There is much evidence that too much protein can cause health problems. We can replace or supplement animal proteins with healthy nuts, beans and grains. Red meat and dairy are the major sources of saturated fat. which has been connected to many serious health problems.

The Institute of Medicine of the National Academies are the folks who establish the government's dietary recommendations and they have two things to say on the subject of protein. First, they say you need about 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight to be healthy (more if you're pregnant or breast-feeding*).

The reality is, most Americans are eating two, three, or even four times more protein than they should every day! Here's the formula for a 2,000 Calorie daily diet (1 Calorie = 1kcal). This is known as the 449 RULE and is based on the fact that Carbohydrates have 4 kcals/gram of energy, Protein has 4 kcals/gram of energy, and Fat has 9 kcals/gram of energy.

First of all, when I was on the program in1995, the diet had no such restriction. It has only come to my attention recently that there is a 50 gm carb restriction and I don't know if this is for everyone who has candida, or more for those who also have it in the muscles (who have been diagnosed by their doctors as having Fibromyalgia). In either case, I kept a food diary for a few weeks while eating as if on the candida program, just to see where my carb count was going.

You should aim to eat at least six times a day. Now that doesn't mean six complete meals - it means three meals and three snacks... or even three meals divided into six meals.

I personally vary from 15 to 20 grams per day when I am doing induction (as I have mentioned before, I go back to induction from time to time to keep things going smoothly), to about 35 to 40 grams on average days. But remember, everyone is different and will be able to handle differing amounts of carbs in order to stay in "losing mode." Some people can have up to 60 grams per day and lose fine. Others can never go past 20 grams. Hence the oft-used saying, "your mileage may vary."

Simply combine the extra meals into the tabs representing the other meals. For example, if I eat 8 meals a day, I might combine meals 2 and 3 onto meal tab 2, meals 4 and 5 onto meal tab 4, and so forth.
