[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it so amazing that people can just nonchalantly be like "cut out all dairy, gluten and sugar from your diet".

So basically you will be miserable but maybe your acne will get better! [/quote]

Actually, I cut dairy and gluten from my diet because I have an autoimmune condition that was crippling me and not getting any better. It wasn't just for funsies.

When I did that, my acne of 20+ years disappeared. If I "cheat" and eat even trace dairy, I usually have a cystic acne bump within 24 hours, as well as digestive issues.

So yes, you will be miserable. You will either be miserable with acne, be miserable with uncontrolled disease, or be miserable having to restrict your diet. Since I never ever thought I would feel better or ever get rid of acne on top of that, just being miserable with my diet is an improvement.[/quote]

I'm glad you are doing better but the OP didn't mention anything about having an autoimmune disease so this is your personal experience and not relevant.

For most people giving up complete categories of foods is not easy and usually there is no real reason for it barring allergies or other reactions.

Dairy, gluten and sugar are in SO MANY THINGS. I could maybe understand giving up one but all three would be incredibly restrictive.[/quote]

Not PP, but most people don’t need to cut out all three of those categories. You just need to figure out what your “trigger” is. Anecdotally, most people I’ve seen who had success with this method only cut out dairy. Some only cut out added sugar. Cutting added sugar is pretty easy if you eat healthfully to begin with, and these days there are a ton of dairy alternatives out there, so it’s not quite as life-altering as it may sound.[/quote]
