Hi Carla, I never said any old fat is good, far from it. Just the good general ones like butter, olive oils, coconut oils, etc, that people used to once consume and do fine on many many years ago.

I do agree with you, I've said the same thing myself about this. I said that they've gone from one extreme of now admitting the no fat, low fat diets are bad, to now saying "eat fat" literally till it comes out your ears.

I do not adhere to the recommendations of all the fat eating on the candida diet. I do eat the fats they recommend, but only as normal. Cooking in, or adding to vegetables, nothing more but because of these recent problems, I thought maybe I had been overdoing it in the cooking or something. If I was doing it according to what was recommended, i'd be having it by the spoonful, but I refuse to do it, it's not even natural and common sense would tell anybody it's over the top (just as I never adhered to the low fat no fat diet when it was in full vogue, I just used basic common sense that it wasn't normal).

The moments when I go overboard are when I consume anything and everything when I have my times of eating pizzas, mc donalds etc. But I do not do this all the time, just occassionally which I think is pretty normal to go overboard on occassion. I get back on track, as it's not worth feeling worse from it.

Otherwise, I eat very normally like anybody else, but i make sure I avoid sugar, gluten etc, which do have bad effects on me and make no sense at all to continue eating them.
