What can you eat on a limitation of 50 gm of carbs a day???

Candida: Frequently Asked Questions
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.

Low Carb Luxury: Frequently Asked Questions

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."
