Abugaj01 sounds suspiciously like KellyClarksonTV or Aplin17 under a
new name -- i.e., a troll.

Among other things, 1000g of carbs a day would be 4000 calories, and I
seriously doubt that this person would lose weight on that diet.

Well I have no idea if this person lost weight dumping refined sugar but I
have heard of it.
Actually when I was diagnosed w/ Candida my Doc simply eliminated the foods
from my diet that caused my Candida to thrive. W/o getting rid of carbs all
together (I ate a lot of rice A LOT about 3 - 4 servings a day) I dropped
20lbs in 2 1/2 mo. Simply deleting all yeast & products w/ vinegar (among
other items).

Most diabetics cant have refined sugar & when they eliminate it from their
diet they drop weight suddenly.
Any dramatic change to your diet can cause you to lose weight.

You can have 1000 carbs a day & still lose weight. Esp if you are
exercising.
So I am apt to believe it..

That's fantastic that you've lost all that weight. I think sugar
(particularly refined sugar) is a major problem for most people. I gave it
up over a year ago now and have really notice the all round health benefits,
I've been doing other healthy things but I notice that if I do on occasion
start eating sugar, my health starts rapidly going down hill.

I assume you've written this post because your excited about your results
and want to share what you've learnt with others, is that right?

I am curious to know what you make up your 1Kg or carbs with, you will
likely see even more benefit from eating only complex carb wholefoods if you
don't already. White bread, white rice, white pastries etc. are almost as
bad as refined sugar in my opinion.

A 1000g's does sound like a lot, can you detail a typical days food for us
to help me get a clear picture of what you're eating? Also if you don't
mind sharing, what's your current weight and height? (and body fat% if you
have that). I find it better to get most my calories from healthy fats and
oils (poly/monounsaturated fats), I vary my protein and carb calories
according to how much (and what type of) exercise I'm doing.

Are you a diabetic or pre-diabetic (with your candida)? If so, then
you need to take control of your blood sugar. Giving up table sugar
may not be enough, although it would be a good idea.


I have not yet been diagnosed w/ diabetes HOWEVER
as every family member has been diagnosed by their 50'th birthday I know
that if I don't get things in check soon,
its only a matter of a few more doctors visits before its my turn so that is
my primary goal this year.
To drop about 50 lbs & get on a healthy nutritional & exercise pattern
