Fruit is not allowed on a candida diet because of the sugary content. Whole fresh fruits are whole foods. Hope this clears that up (the amount of dietary info is just about dizzying).

I think it depends on the type of fruit. On a whole food diet, I think you have to eat fruit that you can eat whole..ie with the peeling...dus oranges wouldnt be whole food but apples would.

When I first started the whole food diet, I wasn't succeeding (getting through withdrawals) and Walt asked me for exactly what I was eating. When I listed some fruits along with the other foods, he asked me "Don't you have Beth's book?" and said fruits are NOT allowed. I pointed out to him that according to her book, they are allowed, and he was very surprised. He said that if you allow fruits then the withdrawal symptoms will continue on forever, basically. So, you need some time off fruits when you first start, so you aren't getting any concentrated sugars at all, then reintroduce fruits later. Yes, they are whole foods, but the problem is they perpetuate your withdrawal when you are first starting. You must avoid any traces of sugars, then withdrawal should end in about 3-4 days. Try a fruit after about 3 months and see how you do then.

Hi, cd.

Obviously an intact fruit IS a whole food. It is only eliminated when one is trying to deal with an refined carbohydrate addiction or a candida problem.

However, the fruits available in the grocery store today are just sugar and fiber. To understand the dramatic difference between the commercially available "fruits" of today, and the whole fruits of 100 years ago, you would have to learn about the agricultural department's regular analyses of food quality they stopped doing 50 years ago when it was apparent that all the micronutrients were disappearing from our food supply.
