A friend of mine told me that I might have fructose metabolism where i dont’ have enough fructase to breakdown the fructose enzyme…
but my main question..what can i eat instead of fruit in the morning, or grains…i feel like I am only left with nuts and a salad? anythign more appetizing?

what about a smoothie made using young coconut? I like coconut, meat and water with a little vanilla and sometimes a dash of cinnamon. There is a recipe on this site called cocogurt also.
Grapefruits? Cherries? They’re very low glycemic. When I was cutting sugar, (and switching to raw at the same time) my breakfast was half a grapefruit, segmented, half an avocado, sliced, and some hemp seeds, mushed together like a salad. These days I have a very green juice for breakfast- celery, chard, parsley, and green apple- but if that’s too much sugar you can try cucumber and lemon instead, to cut the harshness of the green.
Here are a few recipes from Rainbow Green Live Food Cuisine:
1) Granola: 1c almonds, soaked; 1c coconut pulp; 1T mesquite meal; 1T pumpkin pie spice; salt.
Process ingredients until chunky, dehydrate 3 hrs at 145 degrees, then 2-3 hrs at 115 degrees. Serve w/fresh nut/seed mylk.
2) Coco Mac Porridge: 2/3 c coconut pulp, 1 oz mac nuts (unsoaked), 1/4 vanilla bean, 1/2 t mesquite meal, salt, 3 oz water. You can add 1T cacao powder if you like.
Blend and serve.
Variation: strawberries, cardamom, pumpkin pie spice.
You can use yacon syrup for sweetness. It’s a prebiotic, which will nourish the probiotics to fight candida. I think stevia might be acceptable as well, since it doesn’t have any carb content.
3) Savory Spicy Pecan Loaf: 1.5 oz pecans, .5 oz flax, about 2t lemon juice (more or less), 1 T water, 1/2 T olive oil, 1/8 t salt, 1t cumin, 1/8 t hing or garlic powder, 1/8t oregano, 1/8t thyme, 1/8t turmeric, pinch marjoram, pinch sage.
Add some cayenne and black pepper if you like.
Process all ingredients. Form into loaf and serve.
Good luck! See Rainbow Green Live Food Cuisine or The Sunfood Diet Success System for more info on battling candida. Coconut oil is great for fighting candida. :)
