Candida is a parasitic (it feeds off of your vital function) microbiotic that should only comprise 20% of your gut.
For me, that other 80% of my gut's immune-fortifying probiotics have more difficulty than in most people. I'm hyperglycemic, gluten sensitive, etc. That leaves more room for the candida to fester and grow.
I lost a lot of weight by gaining and toning my muscles, but it takes more than that to make my mid-section undergo insane lipolysis. I need that candida to stay in check, that's when my abs can easily become visceral.
I was 210 pounds going into my sophomore highschool year, now I'm 168 and dropping rapidly.
It's a sugar-free paleo diet, and I'm only eating the first 8 hours of the day. The rest of the day my body is starved. Starvation can fight diabetes, and when I run out of carbs later in the day the breakdown of fatty tissue releases ketogens - which protect and fortify the brain better than carbs. The types of foods I eat increase testosterone concentrations, sup up my auto-immune response (increasing those probiotics), and promotes insulin sensitivity (the release of stored fats). Lastly, you rest better when you're stomach isn't digesting anything.
All in all it's not just for the body, it's for the mind too. I'm increasing energy, focus, and lean mass better than exercise. Optimal health has a lot more to do with nutrition than exercise.

One time I was staying in the same hotel
As Zooey Deschanel
