SteveBrown 0 Posted December 28, 2004 I recommend using nutritious, natural ingredients in your meals. Rather than give you specific, detailed recipes, I recommend you create your own, since everyone has their individual preferences. Here's a partial list of nutritious ingredients for meals and snacks: apples pears dates raisins oranges limes lime juice lemons lemon juice nuts (almonds, cashews, walnuts) sunflower seeds carrots broccoli spinach cabbage potatoes yams tomatoes salmon turkey cheese eggs skim milk brown rice corn oatmeal whole-grain pasta and bread beans peas peanuts onions garlic mushrooms olives olive oil sea salt peppers green tea Some may argue with some of the above items, such as the skim milk. However, I've found that the small amount I add to tea or oatmeal does not cause me any problems. The gluten in wheat appears to cause acne in some people. I think it's important to avoid foods and drinks that contain added sugar or corn syrup. Read labels. Instead of sugar, I sweeten oatmeal by adding raisins. The above list is a good starting point. I'm sure others can add to it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doberwoman 0 Posted December 29, 2004 For me, fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, and no dairy! I avoid fatty and processed meats as well, but not religiously. Refined sugars I also tend to avoid, but that's mainly because I don't have anything resembling a sweet tooth! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest OnlyJoe Posted December 29, 2004 yeah no dairy, and drink water. ive found no connection between spicy foods and acne though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SteveLewis 0 Posted December 29, 2004 Gluten is a wheat protein -- if you've ever made homemade bread, it's the protein that develops as you knead the dough, making it more elastic. The more elastic dough is better able to hold the bubbles produced by the yeast as they develop, so it makes for light fluffy bread (if you've ever tried a gluten free bread, you'll immediately see the difference between that and normal bread). Gluten is found in most wheat products -- bread, most pastas (unless they say gluten-free) -- and is also found in some processed foods (if it affects you, check the labels). Because of the chewy texture, gluten is also used in some veggie meat substitutes -- there's a faux duck product you can buy in the UK that is entirely made of gluten and spices (and it is grim grim grim to eat, I've tried it out of curiosity) ← Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
