With Thanksgiving just around the corner I am already preparing my stomach for the endless amounts of turkey and stuffing I will be consuming. Recently I have been trying all different kinds of diets / lifestyle changes to see what works best for me. Since I started working out more frequently I have noticed a drastic change in my skin. The tricks that used to work before to clear up a break out aren’t working for me anymore so I have no choice, but to change how I eat.
There have been numerous articles that state by cutting out certain things from your diet will change how your skin looks and also your energy level. The first thing I tried trying to eat gluten free for an entire week. Needless to say I discovered how much gluten I truly eat and can’t see myself giving that up completely. This week I am cutting out dairy and sugar from my diet. Now I know what you are thinking how can you do that so easily? I am here to tell you it is not as easy as it sounds.
There are so many items that I use that I never realized contained dairy and also sugar. There are good sugars that you can eat and should have in your diet, but I am trying to get rid of the processed sugar like candy and sweets. I have already started having headaches from the withdrawal from sugar and dairy that my brother warned me would happen, but I am going to power through it. I personally can’t see myself completely getting rid of dairy and or sugar in my diet as of now, but maybe toning down how much sugar and dairy I eat. Check back with me in a week and see how I feel. Has anyone else tried this and seen great results? Comment on this post!
Until then I am going to dream about the picture above of the amazing oreo cheesecake my brother made the last time I was in Miami <3
