This summer I will be back home and starting an elimination diet to figure out whats causing my acne. Right now I eat a lot of seed oils in my dining hall food so I think that’s the culprit, but I also eat a lot of eggs and I think they could have some bearing. Unfortunately.

I’d like some advice for treating acne and what vitamins and minerals will i be deficient in by cutting out eggs. Or generally what micro nutrition I could be lacking that is making me break out.

For the diet, I was thinking of doing a whole 30 diet consisting mainly of grass fed beef, seafood/shellfish, some greens and minimal fruit. Worried about insulin spikes so I am going to opt for sweet potatoes over white potatoes. I know that we guess that carbs are linked to acne but i am also trying to put on muscle and so i would want some carbs and i am not aiming for keto.

Another note: I have lots of protein and I workout 6x per week and i am worried that this frequency and protein intake could also be contributing to my problem. Read that somewhere.

Thanks for reading.
