food intolerance

Description

I am eating clean to clear my acne. I am avoiding dairy, soy, and gluten. I am avoiding all grains for that matter. I am getting my carbs from fruits and vegetables but mainly vegetables. I am eating lots of healthy fats like olive oil, walnut oil, cod liver oil, organic real butter, whole organic eggs, almonds, walnuts, & flax seeds. I am eating lean proteins like white turkey meat, white meat chicken breast, and fatty fish, like salmon. I am also eating beans and peas sometimes. Those also account for carbs. I am not using any topical creams specifically designated for acne at this time. I am not against them but at the moment I am concentrating on diet alone. Later on, I will add in a topical treatment just to polish off my skin. I believe diet has much to do with acne as many people have food intolerance's that purge through their skin and cause inflammation throughout their bodies. I also believe in not making yourself miserable over your diet and giving yourself some room to breathe. Make sure you eat foods you enjoy. If not, you will be less likely to stick to any diet. You may be able to do it for a short while, but since you are miserable you will have a tendency to binge and eat something totally off your diet like processed, sugary packaged cookies or brownies for example. Find healthy alternatives for the foods you love. Make vegan brownies with real cocoa powder and sweeten with agave or honey and add some healthy flaxseeds in them too (just an example). There are plenty of ways to still eat the foods you love; you just need to do your research and find ways. Once you know your triggers, you can even better asses how to incorporate the foods you love back in your diet. If you guys have any requests on how to make your favorite food into a healthy, acne free diet version of itself, just leave me a comment or send me an e-mail and I can do a video showing you some options!
