A candida diet involves cutting out foods that may worsen or encourage candida overgrowth and eating more foods that help to control it. For example when on a candida diet you need to avoid junk, processed and refined foods, and you need to cut out sugar. This is because candida eats sugar so when you eat foods that contain sugar, or turn to sugar when you eat them like white bread, you are actually feeding the yeast and helping it grow. Foods you want to eat more of are leafy vegetables, water, probiotic foods like fermented cabbage or plain probiotic yogurt. On a diet where you have to cut out most forms of sugar, some cooking or baking becomes difficult. And for those of us with a sweet tooth going completely without sweet foods can be very difficult and giving in to the craving gets hard to resist. That is where stevia recipes come in handy, as stevia is a sugar alternative that you can eat on a candida diet. So here is some information about stevia and then some stevia recipes you can make on a candida diet.

About Stevia

Stevia is a plant that is actually part of the sunflower family and grows in tropical and subtropical countries like South and North America. Stevia is also known as sweet leaf or sugarleaf and is used as a substitute for sugar by many people though its use started in South America. The leaves of the plant are much sweeter than table sugar though so when using as a substitute in cooking and stevia recipes less is needed. In fact in Japan Stevia actually makes up about 40% of their sweetener market and is used in a wide range of food products including Coca Cola. For candida sufferers and those on a candida diet the good news about stevia is that it is not a sugar compound the candida will eat which is why you can include it in your food and drink. You can get it in several forms, dried and ground stevia leaf, whole leaves, or liquid extracts.

1 cup of sugar equals 1 ? tablespoons of Stevia powder or 1 teaspoon of Stevia liquid.

1 tablespoon of sugar equals 6 to 9 drops of Stevia liquid.

1 teaspoon of sugar equals 2 to 4 drops of Stevia liquid.
