After mods recommendation, I've gone with a anti inflammatory diet. Things like diary, eggs, omega 6s are removed from my diet.
For those of you who hadn't seen the previous thread, I got a pull 6pack, muscular, workout 5x a week + martial arts 3x a week, I run 8k 3x a week, and I suffer from cystic acne. This has really hurt my self esteem and confidence. I've finally got acne under control via topical & antibiotics.
Sadly, I've spent my life looking up to Arnold Schwarzenegger & professional fighters, both boxing & mma. I want to emanate this sort of diet in my lifestyle. I use to box when I was in my early teens. Now, I just trian martial arts, look to develop my diet better, and progress.
As of now, I am 99% acne free but, I worry if I stop with the medication, I could end up looking like the elephant man. After a cystic breakout, I ended up with a shallow scar which isn't nice. Its got me very self conscious. Here, I fully intend to document my diet and look to tweak it. I hope any one reading this can tip me off.
Anti-inflammatory Foods May Reduce Inflammation
# For breakfast, try oatmeal served with fresh berries and walnuts.
# Snack on whole fruits, nuts, seeds, and fresh vegetables instead of cookies and candy.
# Eat more fish and less fatty red meat.
# Cook with olive oil and canola oil.
# Try a tofu stir-fry or scramble.
# Have a salad with lots of fresh vegetables as your meal.
# Stay away from deep-fried foods; bake, broil, poach or stir-fry instead.
# Choose dark green or brightly colored vegetables as side dishes -- they should fill half your dinner
Thanks in advance mod. I will look into Robb Wolf's site as well.
Supplements I use:
# Msm
# Multi-vitamin
# Herbs - stress relievers
# Glutamine
# Creatine
# Whey Protein
# Digestive Enzymes
# Probiotics
Note: I will cycle off and on all supplements I use. Aim to acquire all required macro and micro nutrients throughout my meals and resort to supplementation where I am weak.
Please feel free to comment and add recommendations guys. Thank!
