In this article, I will show the effects of cheating on the candida diet or the yeast free diet, based on a request from my friend. He has cheated a bit by eating mustard that contained vinegar and a dish made with soy sauce. However, he has never cheated with sugar or yeast, as he considers them the worst things to have. The times he cheated with the small amount of fermented food, he didn’t notice any ill effects. He also wonders what would happen if he ate something like nut butter, which is allowed on the diet, and then had a reaction. Does he essentially start over?
I can say that the little tricks add up. Cheating all the time is not a healthy approach. Recognize that some things are better than others. For example, a little bit of fermented stuff is better than pure carbs and sugar for fuel. Stay away from anything that gives you a reaction that you can identify, and know that some reactions are internal things that you won’t even notice.
Does cheating get you back to ground zero? It probably isn’t. It could, but if you’re making constant improvements, it’ll just slow you down a bit. Look at it this way. If you are nearly successful in eradicating a yeast problem and then feed that yeast, it will repopulate because it is already weakened. So while he might have been one down and fifteen to go, now he’s back at sixteen. However, I think it is more complicated than that. They may have recovered from the attack and are energized to deal more damage.
It is an individual decision. A huge chocolate chip cookie eases his despair in a way no security team can. And since it would also set you back, you should live healthier and try not to cheat as much as you can.
