We’ve had a reader question come in on the subject of diet tips. Let’s take a look:
Question: I’ve read several articles and testimonies from people who are on this dairy free diet thing and it supposedly helps clear up skin. I’ve thought about it and I would like to try to go dairy free for a while, but it will be extremely difficult. I want to still be able to eat meat, but I come from a southern family who loves foods that are rich with dairy products; butter, eggs, milk and cheese are very common ingredients we eat all of the time. My family doesn’t really support it, almost every single thing other than fresh fruits and veggies contain a dairy ingredient. We do eat healthy for the most part, and I love milk (skim only) and that will be a challenge. Does anyone have pointers on how to go dairy free for a bit? I want to try and see if I see a difference in my skin. Im not doing this for a diet-diet, ive always been thin to normal sized so im good on that haha. thanks!
Oh and btw I do try really hard to buy healthier choices in foods, but I just graduated from college and money is a bit tight so I cant afford to eat 100 percent organic 24/7 even though I would like to

Answer: I went dairy free a few years back b/c of chronic skin issues. I would suggest setting a goal of 6 week. You would almost definitely see results within these 6 weeks if there were going to be any. Sometimes setting a limited goal makes it easier.
At the end of the 6 weeks you would add back dairy anyway. You would not be able to see any improvement unless you take out the "allergen", keep track of the improvement, and then add it back in and record if there is a difference.
