Candida Diet - Summary of my food choices

I meant to do a little more blogging, tracking my progress on the CD.  Today is Day 24.  I can't believe I am so close to being done the 28 days I set out to do.  I have done very well, if I say so myself.  It's been interesting to see how my "sweet tooth" has changed, over the course of the last 24 days, I've been using less and less Stevia, if at all.  Here is a summary of typical foods I've been eating.

Beverages:
- water with lemon juice
- less than 1 coffee per day (usually decaf; makes a nice "dessert" in the evening sweetened with Stevia)

Breakfast:
- 2 eggs (scrambled - sometimes with veggies mixed in, over easy)
- Bacon (Maple Leaf has a new "Natural Selections" with no chemicals/preservatives and 0 carbs!)
- sometimes 2 Tomato slices
- rarely 1 Brown rice cake (plain) [7g carbs]

Snack Options:
- Celery sticks or
-  Brown rice cake (cheddar cheese flavor) [7g carbs] or
- Nuts (almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds)

Lunch:
- Salad
     - spinach or mixed greens
     - veggies (snow peas, cucumber, celery, tomato)
     - sometimes topped with leftover chicken
     - homemade dressings (lemon juice/E.V. Olive Oil/herbs or E.V. Olive Oil/plain yogurt/herbs)

Snack Options:
- Celery Sticks or
- Snow Peas or
- Raw Turnip (I enjoyed the crunchy veggies as snacks) or
- Brown rice cake (cheddar cheese flavor) [7g carbs] or
- Nuts

Dinner:
- Meat (chicken, pork or salmon - cooked in Coconut Oil on the George Foreman Grill)
- Steamed veggies (turnip, asparagus, green beans, etc).

Dessert/Evening Snack:
- Coffee (sweetened with Stevia)
- Walnuts and pecans chopped up in plain yogurt (sweetened with Stevia)
