Hi all,

I'm really trying to change the way I eat, not that I ever ate badly but I want to incorporate more good stuff to help manage my (very mild) adult acne breakouts.

I've recently started to have green smoothies a few times a week (cucumber, ginger, kale, chard, lemon/lime juice, chai seeds) and even purchased some kimchi, which I'm having a few spoonfuls of with my evening meals, when I can. I try to eat organic meat (chicken) but do eat some turkey mince (which I can't find organically raised) and I eat gluten-free too.

I don't snack on nuts as I'm aware they can cause negative effects and also I think I might have a slight allergy. I also don't eat any fruit. That might sound odd but I always seem to breakout when I eat any and I'm very conscious of their sugar content and GI rating. That's another thing - I'm always aware of GI ratings and what things may or may not do to my blood sugar level.

I only recently looked into nightshade vegetables and discovered I probably shouldn't be eating peppers - which is a pain as I used to really enjoy them and eat them at least twice a week. So, once again it's back to the drawing board on that.

I'm trying to update my weekly meal planner but I need some help/advice. Firstly, I have a few gabs - I'm struggling to think of healthy meals I can have for lunch and dinner each day. Secondly I'm really keen to understand if what I'm eating currently is all good or if there's something here I really should be cutting back on or cutting out entirely.

I appreciate this forum is pretty quiet these days but if anyone can help me out I'd really appreciate it.
