It is ALL about will power, and sheer determination and a resolve to fight regardless of cravings. I was heavily addicted to sweets, so bad that my initial elimination diet caused me to walk around pulling my hair, pacing and crying my eyes out and enduring headaches beyond belief with cravings that just about drove me insane.
The ONLY thing that kept me from giving in was SHEER WILL POWER and SHEER DESPERATE DETERMINATION. Nobody did it for me, I had to do it for myself.
No supplement, no medication, no nothing brought me through this. It was will power, determination, patience and time. Nobody can ever tell me "you don't know how it feels". I was one of the worst sugar addicts you could meet. I cannot even express the agony of what happened to me when first going on such a diet. It was like watching a drug addict go through withdrawal. I was a total and utter crying and salivating mess for weeks on end with the cravings that gnawed away at me almost daily. The amounts of toxins coming out of me, must have been so tremendous, that my clothes STUNK from the detox. I remember people complaining about the strange smell emanating off me and my clothing. It was incredible. But worth it in the end.
Does this mean I was perfect? No. I fell of the wagon a few times. I cheated and messed up a few times and in the end I had to get firm with myself and make a final resolve - NOBODY is going to do this for me except me. Nobody is to blame if I cheat on my diet except me. Either you continue to give in and buckle, or you go through the pain of deprivation of the things you want to indulge in for the sake of a hopefully improved future health (mental included). So which is it? Ongoing symptoms from candida (which can be severe) and complaing about what I go through? Or going through initial pain to achieve a hopefully better condition?
If a person is determined enough? They can do this diet. Nobody said it was easy and for some it can be hellish, but one has to make up their mind what they're willing to go through in order to gain at least "some" improvement or in some cases dramatic!
