today is an update on our skin issues with acne . how Michelle and I have been dealing with it all and the diet changes we have made to help with our skin issues. again this is a tough post for me (Lori) to do but I what to show everyone that I am not perfect and my journey to clear skin is going to be a long one but I will get there.
we did want to quickly touch on some other areas that could cause acne that we have noticed from personal experience. hopefully one of these ideas might shed some light on those suffering from skin – acne issues as well.
below are some other things we looked into as we are healing our skin. as we have mentioned before there are many causes of acne and everyone will get different results from this and that. we just want to share what we have found and learned from our personal experience.
other areas we have been focusing on that we have learned can help with acne and hormones:
here are some pictures of my troubled skin from a few weeks ago – there is slight improvements from my first time posting pictures … still more to go.
my face about 3 weeks ago
about a week ago
almost there but still getting a few pimples
changes in our diet:
went grain free and sugar free (no fruit just stevia for sweetness)
drinking lemon warm water first thing in the morning to help liver
drink fresh veggies juice most mornings and make pulp crackers for the fiber
drink about 7-8 cups of water a day
drink a green smoothie that is avocado based each day
have eggs, veggies, lettuce and sweet potatoes or butternut squash after workouts
have Vega protein powder or hemp protein once
healthy fats and Omega sources we are eating are avocado, hemp seeds, tahini, Udo Oil, Fish Oil, and chia seeds
having fish a few times a week
enjoy raw cacao occasionally (in a form of a new recipe that we plan to share next week)
eating lots of dark leafy greens in smoothies and salads
and only having raw or steamed veggies
having no heated oils
having no legumes or any grains of any sorts
no sunflower or pumpkin seeds (or very little)
very little to no nuts (mainly only having hazelnuts from time to time)
one cup coffee once a day
enjoy fermented foods all day long from sauerkraut, fermented veggies, kombucha, and goat yogurt from time to time
little to no wine
so to sum it up quickly we are mostly eating dark leafy greens and veggies and healthy fats
no we are not 100% perfect at this as we still try to enjoy life. but I (Lori) feel my body is still trying to tell me something. maybe it is still all stress and hormone related but then again maybe it is more then that.
that is what I hope to discover here soon.
we have also put together a video of us giving our update on our skin (sorry I get a little emotional but I try to hold it together as this is still very difficult for me to talk about without getting too emotional)
now again remember Michelle and I made these changes to help with our acne and skin issues. we will share more on why we also made some of these diet changes next week that is geared more towards our physical appearance of our bodies. today we just wanted to share what we have been doing and an update on the progress of our acne. ** again please consult your own doctor before making any major change with your diet.
as you can tell I still have a long journey ahead of me. like I mentioned in the video I got some blood work done and hope to have those results next week. I will give more details on that when I get the results. healing my skin is still very hard for me but I am hanging in there. I appreciate everyone’s support. thank you!
