Over the years, as I treated thousands of patients with yeast problems, I also observed that most of them had weight problems. For many of these patients, their excess weight was the least of their worries, since they suffered from chronic fatigue, persistent headaches, endometriosis, brain fog and a host of other serious health problems.
Yet almost without exception, those who needed to lose weight found that the weight melted off with the Yeast-Fighting Program.

These days, I am hearing from women with diet-resistant excess weight who ask for my recommendations for weight loss strategies that work. Many of these women - perhaps you are among them - do not have overwhelming symptoms of yeast overgrowth. They've just found it nearly impossible to lose weight or keep it off. I believe many of these women may, in fact, have Crook's Candidiasis.
There's a simple way to find out. You may have skipped through the early posts of this blog, eager to get to this post. If so, take a moment, go back and complete the candida questionnaire. When you do, if your score is over 60, consider that candida may be contributing to your weight problems. If your score is over 120, candida is almost certainly causing your weight gain along with other problems.
If you have already tried dozens of diets, met with limited success, gaining back all you lost and perhaps putting on even more weight, I advise you to take heart and follow the Yeast-Fighting Program. I suspect it may be exactly what you need to leave your tyrannical and stubbornly persistent weight-related problems behind you once and for all.
THE 6-POINT YEAST-FIGHTING PROGRAM
A healthy diet is still the first step and the centerpoint of the program. As Dr. Crook always maintained, no amount of treatment for yeast overgrowth will be successful without a vastly improved diet. Here is our 6-Point Yeast-Fighting Program:
1. The Yeast-Fighting Diet
I can hear you groaning, "Oh,no, not another complicated diet that will make my life even more difficult!" The good news is, this diet program is not complicated. In fact, it's quite simple:
- You can eat most fresh vegetables, nuts, lean meats, poultry and fish to your heart's content, along with a prescribed list of grains and lots of pure water;
- You will be eliminating the processed and refined foods and sugars that contributed to your illnesses and weight gain in the first place; and
- You'll also be eliminating fruits, fermented products and foods containing yeast, at least in the early weeks of the plan, until you have determined which foods trigger your symptoms.
- How many diets have you tried that advise you, as we do, to eat oatmeal with butter for breakfast?
- How many encourage you to eat nuts and lots of healthy oils?
- How many encourage you to eat brown rice and other high-carb grains?

It's not just by eating fewer calories or fewer carbs that you will lose weight on the Yeast Fighting Diet. It's because you're starving the yeast. ENOUGH WITH THE VICIOUS CYCLE! To find out more, you can check out Treating Yeast Overgrowth.
