Yeast-free Diet: What's for breakfast?

Taken literally, a yeast-free diet means any food that doesn't contain any yeast. Everyone has yeast inside their body and they only do harm when the factors that keep them in safe numbers are disturbed. A yeast-free diet simply promotes a well-balanced body.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. How you start your day affects how it is going to turn out. Without breakfast, you're off to a bad start. But then, what's there to eat when youre on a yeast-free diet?

Most likely, you've been given or have already read a list of food that you need to avoid. But really, all you need is look at what you can eat.

Fortunately, you can continue to enjoy your sunny-side up. Eggs are yeast-free and a lot of recipes can be made with it. But you might miss the toasted bread that usually comes along with it. There are only a few bread products out there that are not yeast-friendly, and they don't come with the taste you might have gotten used to.

Oatmeal is also good. While there's a certain debate because of its starch and gluten (if not gluten-free) content, its benefits on cleansing the intestinal tract has also a very desirable effect. Many will testify that they have gone through diets for candidiasis control with oat meals just fine.

Fruit juices aren't alright as they contain concentrated amounts of sugar. On the other hand, you can add fresh fruits with low sugar and a fair amount of fiber on your diet, such as apples, avocadoes, and melon. A little later on the diet or when you don't have a severe yeast outgrowth, you can add oranges, pineapples and the likes. They are acidic fruits that encourage alkalinity which makes an unsuitable environment for yeasts to grow on to.

It's also not too early for a slice of chicken with your favorite vegetable. If you're on a much restricted diet, a moderate meal, instead of a light one could keep your cravings on a low when lunch time comes.
