Diet For Hormonal Acne

Are you wondering what the best diet for acne is? If you have acne then it is vitally important to know what you should eat and what you should not eat if you want clear skin. Diet is a large contributor to your acne problem. Continue reading to find out details about what the best diet for acne is.
So Many Options... Which One is Correct?
Raw food diet, low carbohydrate diet, Atkins diet, vegetarian diet, vegan diet, detoxes, and more. Out of the hundreds of different diets that people swear by, how in the world will we ever know which one is best for acne? Well, we will never know. We can all thrive on most diets. I do not have a specific diet for you, but I do have some general guidelines that you must follow if you wish to have clear skin within a reasonable amount of time.
First, we need to talk about the diet that more than likely you are consuming. The one that is contributing to the killer diseases of the modern era.
The Western Diet - Get Off It Now
Thanks to the large population of the United States (I am one of these people that was born and is currently living here) the industrial revolution is wreaking havoc on millions of people every year. Processed foods and foods that are not grown organically are basically a disgrace to this country.
Injecting cows with growth hormones, antibiotics and more is producing more food. I understand that. But, this food is what contributes to the various diseases. Acne is one of them. Food that is not grown organically is less nutritious and some recognize it as being fake, or not true food. Stuffing chickens inside cages without any room to move around is flat out wrong.
Do not get me wrong here... I love chicken. I am a big eater of chicken and there eggs. But, only organically, free-range raised chicken. I now only buy eggs that are truly pastured. Eggs where the hens are free to roam around on large grass field farms, eating healthy grass and thus providing us with much more nutritious and cleaner protein and fat. And, 100% grass-fed beef is healthier, tastier, and more pleasant compared to conventionally raised beef.
Then their is processed foods. In fact, it is not food. Corn dogs, pizza, TV dinners (what a joke), cookies, pancake mixes, bread, and thousands of other food like substances is harmful to your health. You need to avoid processed foods starting today. Do it for your health!
This western diet causes rapid blood sugar fluctuations, hormone imbalances, liver problems, constipation, and a host of other problems. All leading to acne and other diseases that we created ourselves.
Okay... So What Should You Eat?
Food.
I recommend going back to how we first ate when we arrived on Earth. We were hunters and gathers. We ate loads of vegetables, fruits, animal foods, and nuts and seeds. It was all wild picked and naturally grown. To me, a paleo based diet, also known as primal, caveman, etc. makes the most sense as that is how we adapted.
Also, there was not much cooking back in the day. This is where a raw food diet has its place. I do not believe a 100% raw food diet is feasible for everyone, but eating about 75% raw foods is very ideal. Cook your chicken, beef, lamb, etc. Cook your fish if you wish but mix in some sushi. Eat all fruits raw and eat most of your vegetables raw. If you want them warm with your meal then lightly steam them.
Eat plenty of coconut. Coconut has miraculous healing powers. Hemp seeds are full of vitamins and minerals, are a quality source of protein, have a decent omega 3 to omega 6 fatty acid ratio, are very versatile, and are easy on the wallet when purchased in bulk.
In addition, avoid most, if not all grains. Avoid dairy at all costs as it has an absurd amount of links to acne. If you enjoy grains, then slowly eliminate them from your diet. I recommend avoiding all gluten grains first. I currently enjoy Irish steel cut oats 1-2 times a week. I do not eat any other grains on a regular basis.
The Diet Seems Clear Now... What About Other Areas of Health?
