I don't have much knowledge yet about the diet but i think you must derive protein from thinks like brown rice, nuts,beans etc. or it would be an imbalanced diet and not healthy. I am going to do a lot of reading on this before i go into it all the way. Don't worry too much about it if you're new to the candida diet because it will be too extreme to follow. I would probably just start by eating heathier and watch your known allergens. Also it couldn't hurt to get a good juicer and juice some veggies every now and then. My kids laugh at me and say Umm, yum when they see my juice but it does taste good. ( I have Jack Lalane's juicer. )
