you cant gain weight without those foods. I used to do the candida diet real strict but now i opened up with my diet because Sugar isnt the issue with candida. candida is a yeast infection which is caused by lack of zinc, high copper, Antibiotics ,low vit D, adrenal/thyroid issues or parasites. removing Sugar just made me hypoglycemic even more which eventually led to full endocrine hypoactivity due to no carb energy. so in short, you cant gain weight without carbohydrates.
