What is the Candida Diet (Yeast Diet)? The Yeast Diet (also known as the Candida Diet), is a natural cleansing diet that combines dietary restrictions with anti-fungal supplements in an effort to detox the body from an overgrowth of yeast. Since Candida Albicans is one of the most common forms of yeast associated with yeast overgrowth, many people refer to the diet as the Candida Diet or simply the Yeast Diet.
