Rotisserie Chicken

20 May 2013 - 03:07 PM

If I'm trying to eat meals with a low glycemic load, how bad would it be to eat rotisserie chickens from the grocery store? Today I looked at the ingredients of the rotisserie chicken at HEB and sugar was listed lower in the the ingredients. Would it still be ok to eat these on a regular basis if I avoid the skin? I love rotisserie chicken, and it's so convenient and affordable.


Green Smoothies Have Reduced The Oiliness Of My Skin By About 50%

05 May 2013 - 05:27 PM

My skin is usually incredibly oily. Like the excessive oiliness where you can see visible oil on my skin within 30 minutes of washing it. My scalp, shoulders, chest, back, and neck also get very oily by the end of the day; not to the point where you can see the oil, but I can definitely feel it. So the past 2 weeks I have been drinking a green smoothie every morning, and I'd say my oil production has been reduced by about 50%. My skin goes much longer without getting oily, my shoulders, chest and neck don't even feel oily anymore, and I can now go two days between washing my hair. This has been a huge relief for me. After my oily skin survived accutane I didn't think I'd get relief like this from anything. Here's my recipe:

 

1/2 banana

4-6 frozen pineapple cubes

1 handful frozen strawberries

2-3 handfuls frozen spinach

1 cup of water (or more or less depending on what consistency you like your smoothies)

1 packet of splenda

 

Next I plan to try a low glycemic load diet to see if that helps even more :)


Is It Bad To Eat Fish Almost Everyday?

For example if I wanted to eat a small piece of talpia 5x a week with lunch? Does this put me at risk for complications from mercury?


Diet And Oily Skin

12 April 2013 - 06:55 PM

Have any of you guys tried altering your diet to treat your oily skin (such as low glycemic load)? There are quite a few people on the diet and holistic health board who have reported success with eliminating their oily skin just by changing what they eat. I haven't tried yet, but will be in the near future.

I've heard answers to this question such as ortho cyclen, zovia, desogen, ortho novum, etc. Does anyone know which one really is the least androgenic?
