You Want What You Can't Have

So a few weeks back I realized that my wonderful adult acne seems to be directly linked to the amount of glorious dairy I consume.  Over the past 3 weeks I have GREATLY reduced the amount of dairy I eat daily and my acne is almost completely gone!

I know!  I am super excited about this.  Being 31 with acne is not really good for your self esteem.  There is one major side effect from this change in diet that I really did not expect....

AN INSANE CRAVING FOR PIZZA AT ALL TIMES!

I can only only assume that my subconscious & stomach have turned into a rebellious 13 year old who have decided that it wants the one thing it knows it shouldn't have.  


Anyone have any tips on curbing these cravings?  I have been eating lots of spicy and flavorful dishes to keep my tastebuds happy.. but there is just something about a perfect slice of hot crispy pizza with gooey salty cheese that just cannot be duplicated with non-dairy options....

I need to find some good recipe replacements because as much as I love cheese I am loving clear skin more!

  1. It's okay to indulge every once in a while.

    But not before you have a date.
    Or have to go to a wedding.
    Or give a presentation at work.

  2. Exactly, Erica. Everything in moderation.

    Amanda Gaines hates cheese but I don't know what she does instead for pizza. I think just a tiny bit of cheese and mostly sauce and veggies. Maybe certain types of cheese are worst offenders than others?

  3. I couldn't live without pizza. I bet having it on occasion (and cutting out other dairy) would work out :)

  4. Some soy cheeses are ok. I have friends that are dairy, wheat and sugar free and they can still have small amounts of hard cheeses aged on a wheel and goat cheese. Try that?
