Candida, Yeast Infection Blog 4U

Okay, so this is a bit off the beaten track.  But, many of us with candida, have a tremendous problem losing weight.  Other factors may also hinder weightloss; diabetes is one, and the one I have run into most recently is called PCOS.  PCOS (PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome) is a condition related to insulin resistance.  PCOS can greatly increase the amount of estrogen in the system which makes it EXTREMELY difficult to lose weight.  Lucky me… I was just diagnosed with this.  Fortunately, I caught it fairly early in the process and had only gained an extra 60 pounds (ouch).  I am bound and determined to lose this weight! the complicating factor? Knee surgery - I just had major work done to my right knee in March-07, so no heavy working out.  I needed a plan that would allow me to see tangible results (i.e. quick weight loss) without requiring a ton of working out. And…I happened to run into a diet program called Kimkins. 

I admit, I was somewhat skeptical. Nothing had worked for me in the past, all I had managed to do was to slow down the rate of gain.  The plan is essentally low-carb, low fat (good for those tackling an anticandida diet).  I woke up after the first day and tentatively stepped on the scale.  I got off and back on again (three times) just to make sure my eyes weren’t playing tricks on me.  I had lost 4.5 pounds!!! Hooray… I couldn’t believe it, but I thought for sure I will be back where I was tomorrow.  The second day I lost even more; by the end of the first week I had lost 11 pounds.  Wow!  It has now been 4 weeks exactly.  Today I have lost a total of 23.6 pounds and still going strong.  I have lost 18.5 inches off my body and all of my clothes are getting baggy.  The support forums at Kimkins are absolutely awesome. If you need to lose weight for health purposes or just to feel better about yourself, you should take a look at Kimkins.
