I have a question as a follow-up to all the yeast-talk on here: I’ve struggled with skin and sinus allergies for a long time. Could these be a function of yeast over-production? Just curious, because I’d LOVE to get rid of them without popping claritin every day, as I have been. Thanks!

Cheers,

Awesome question.

Short answer: it’s not a diet that does or would work for me, as I’m not a big enough lover of fruit. But it’s a legitimate perspective for those who can make it work.

Long answer: most women, in my view, have a history of yeast (even if they’re unaware) and the sudden incorporation of so much fructose into their diet is likely to lead to problems. So it’s not what I would advocate for your average Jane looking to follow a new regime. I also had some questions and doubts when I read the book the first time, which would have to be the topic of a longer post.

But of course, it’s always all about what works for the individual.

And I just love the character of the place, the history. Laissez les bon temps roulez is right! xoxo

I steam my sweet potatoes or bake ‘em — I’m high raw, not 100% raw, and they’re one of my non-raw foods!
