this is a diet for candida and diabetes. it goes against some paleo concepts. i am trying to understand why some people would say this is the way to go while others say you can eat some of these things to deal with diabetes and candida.
   
  No Red Meat or Pork - No Eggs - No Tomatoes or Tomatoe sauces - No Vinegar - No Sugar or Sugar products - No Melons - No White Flour products - No store bought Salad Dressings - you are allowed one fruit per day but I suggest just one fruit every other day - Drink only spring water for your beverage because all other beverages are acid forming - Take one tabletspoon of Carlson's lermon flavored fish oil before going to bed and again when you first get out of bed

carrie,

i would be curious to hear just what this nutritionist said.

i used to do computer work for a state health department diabetes 
program. i was dumbfounded by the "nutritional" advice they gave out. 
i don't have diabetes, but because i was eating a mostly raw, fairly 
low-carb diet (just for the increased energy etc), i was eating a 
small fraction of the diabetogenic, high-glycemic-index foods that 
these poor folks were being told to eat! i was horrified. eg they 
actually distributed a pamphlet written for people with diabetes 
called "Sugar is not the enemy".

i concluded that they were, consciously or unconsciously, actually 
pushing the expensive diabetes DRUGS.
