| Author | Topic: Whats worse for acne: not enough protein/calories OR a little too much dirty protein? |
| mliq 05-14-2003 01:22 PM | I want to keep the diet but I really do not have time to eat enough calories or protein grams from fruit only, and I am quitting nuts because I think I may be allergic, and there is only frozen sushi available in my area. I'm not very active so I don't feel the need for more than 1500 calories per day about. What is better for acne: -Sushi that has been frozen (tuna) everyday OR -eating 20g protein from cooked meat per day OR -not getting enough protein or calories and also what is better/worse out of just the last 2 options? |
| jay_1 05-14-2003 11:12 PM | I'm curious to know, how long have you been on the diet? Have you tried raw egg yolk for protein? |
| mliq 05-14-2003 11:30 PM | I haven't tried raw eggs and I'm really not too excited about trying it. I'd rather eat sushi everyday than have to worry about making sure I don't make myself sick by using a bad egg. I have been on the diet 2 weeks, and I have found a takeout with fresh tuna as of today, but I'm still wondering about the last two because I am going on a trip soon during which I will likely have to choose between those last two options. |
| Wai 05-17-2003 09:14 AM | quote:this individually differs, just as one is more susceptible to salt while someone els eis mor e susceptible to 'dirty' protein but, in general: 2) is worst, then 3), and then, to a much lesser extend, number 1) but, very importantly, regarding your health, 3) is definitely worst, so that should be avoided at all times 1500 kcal is definitely not enough i feel so strongly about this that i will refuse to advice you any longer if you dont ingest enough protein / calories... i prefer you quit the diet over not consuming enough calories / protein; if you have to chose between 2) and 3), you better chose 2). |
| mliq 05-19-2003 04:40 PM | OK Wai I think I may just go with #2 and see how I do. It really is hard for me to be eating fruit all day long. But this still won't give me enough calories I'm afraid. I never ate more than 1500-2000 calories in a day I am pretty sure. I am a very inactive person so I don't feel the need. What are some really high calorie foods? |
| Auron 05-19-2003 07:20 PM | just out of curiousity,are you consuming enough fat?When I first started the diet I felt bad mostly eating fruit, but I started having juice with plenty of extra virgin olive oil or a salad occasionally with lot of oil along with the diet, and I felt pretty good,I felt more constant energy I think my insulin levels were changing to much. What about brazil nuts do you have those? |
| PhiVan 05-19-2003 07:25 PM | mliq, your brain needs constant supply of sugar to think and do its vital job. i am a student and i sit in the library most of the day, but i need to eat/drink every hour (at least) to keep my blood sugar up. not only can i study better on this diet, i am in a better mood - no more energy burnout! ![[Big Grin]](../biggrin.gif) |
| RRM 05-22-2003 11:51 AM | Hey Mliq, High calory foods are nuts (in the shell!), avocado, and, of course, juices with sugar and oil added. (very effective) RRM |
