Coconut as an Ingredient in Your Food

Coconut Oil is an incredibly healthy supplement that should be one of your first choices as an antifungal. It that contains 3 different fatty acids (Caprylic Acid, Capric Acid, Lauric Acid) that have been found to be effective against Candida (see research studies here and here).

Of course you can take Caprylic Acid capsules and get many of the same benefits as coconut oil. However if you follow the whole food approach and integrate natural coconut products into your diet, that’s even better.

Coconut oil as a supplement

Coconut oil is a really easy and cheap antifungal to add to your diet. Just take 1-2 tablespoons of the oil every day to start with. If you don’t experience any Die-Off symptoms you can increase your dose. If you take too much your body will quickly let you know (stomach cramps and diarrhea are the usual symptoms!), but your digestive system can cope with quite large amounts before you see this.

Of course coconut oil has a wide range of other benefits for your body, beyond just getting your Candida overgrowth under control. Its great for your hair and skin, keeps your cholesterol levels low, boosts your immune system and can provide relief from a variety of other complaints.

Here’s another reason why coconut oil is great for a Candida diet. Many Candida sufferers lose weight while on the Candida Diet because of the changes in their eating routine. Coconut oil is high in calories (remember these are ‘good’ calories, not like junk food!). So if you feel like you are losing too much weight, coconut oil is a great way to boost your calorie intake. One tablespoon contains about 120 calories.

Coconut oil for cooking

You can use coconut oil for cooking instead of your usual olive oil. Coconut oil is actually very heat stable, so it doesn’t break down into unhealthy trans fats when you cook it in high temperatures.

Coconut flour

Also consider using coconut flour in your baking. Coconut flour bread is a filling snack that will kill any hunger pangs during your Candida treatment. You can eat this bread as much as you want during the diet. Coconut flour bread is one of the lowest-carb breads that you can find, and its also high in fiber which is great for your digestive system.
