Please read this and give me some advice! I was living in a very unreasonable way, bingeing on fruit though not hungry at all and being quite sedentary. I was very depressed for a few months. The more I ate the more I'd lose and I would have major Candida symptoms of bloating and some gas. Sometimes I'd have a flat stomach in the morning and later in the day people would ask if I was pregnant and be really surprised when I said no.
In that time I lost weight. I was 93 lbs in March by May I was 91. I weighed myself 2 times in August and was only 85 at the beginning of the month and 83 recently. For a year before that I was stable at 93-95 on 811rv. I lost weight before that on a crazy cooked foods diet with tons of coffee. I dont have caffeine anymore and it's been over a year without coffee. I have not been doing muscle building exercise and I plan to start with a weights class at my school, but I do need more than that.
I don't have fatigue really but I do have a lot of apathy and without muscle its hard to put power into anything I do. I am lacking drive for life. I got a cold sore a couple weeks ago and my skin broke out for a bit. I haven't been eating greens much at all. They seem hard to digest when I do have them. I do drink 16 oz juiced celery with chard or kale daily. I also eat a lot of tomatoes. I don't eat fats. I had an avo in July and it made my Candida worse than ever. Do I need more protein and greens? I know Lysine is an amino acid for cold sores and I am wondering if it's in greens and not fruit?
I am very isolated a lot of the time too, but I started school online and 1 campus class so I have a little more direction and purpose now. I want to get healthy and strong and live a decent life with a good job from my degree I'm pursuing.
What is a good starting point to improve my health? I want to make sure I am doing the right thing rather than randomly following a few parts of the program and no one really knows or understands 811 in my life so I wanted to come here and get help.
