If a cleanse is a bit dramatic for you, no worries. You can still reap some of the benefits by making these seven food swaps. Dr. Lipman outlined which foods to avoid, why they are toxic for your skin, and what to replace them with.
Eliminate: Cow's Milk Cheese
Replace With: Cashew Cheese or Nutritional Yeast
"These foods have no lactose but can be used in the same way as
other cheeses," he explained. "Enjoy them as spreads, seasonings, and
snacks."
Eliminate: Crackers and Processed Carbohydrates

"Processed carbohydrates are all foods that increase insulin,"
the doctor informed me. "This includes white bread, sweetened cereals,
pasta, baked goods, white rice, and sugar-sweetened food and drink. These
processed foods break down quickly and turn to sugar, causing a spike in
insulin. Scientists have found that more insulin means more acne! Processed
foods are also made with processed, man-made oils, such as canola oil, soybean
oil, and other 'vegetable oils,' which are proinflammatory. And more
inflammation means more acne."
Replace With: Seed Crackers or Almond Flour Crackers
"These crackers are full of good-for-you healthy fats and
protein," he said. "They are also low in sugar and full of fiber to
balance blood sugar and insulin levels."
Eliminate: Juice
"How green is that green juice?" Dr. Lipman questioned.
"If it tastes sweet, it most likely has too many sugars. Many green juices
have up to 50 grams of sugar! And they often lack the natural fibers found in
whole fruits, which are so helpful in moderating insulin release. And remember
that more insulin means more acne. So if you can lower your sugar intake, your
skin will definitely be clearer."
Replace With: Dr. Lipman’s Mocha Chocolate Smoothie
Instead of a juice, Dr. Lipman suggests a yummy smoothie that is high in
healthy fats and protein. Here’s one of his favorite recipes.
- 1 scoop Be Well Chocolate Whey Protein powder
- 1/2 cup Native Forest coconut milk
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup water (less water makes for a thicker smoothie)
- 1 teaspoon organic instant coffee
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 avocado
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 6 to 8 ice cubes
Put all ingredients into a blender and blend till smooth and
creamy.
Eliminate: Soda
"Soda is full of sugar and other artificial chemicals, all of which
produce inflammation inside the body," he advised. "Your skin is your
biggest organ, and even though it’s on the outside of your body, it’s a window
into what’s going on inside. Not only does soda increase insulin levels, but
diet soda especially disrupts the necessary and healthy bacteria found in your
gut. Skin issues such as rosacea, eczema, acne, and more are all evidence of an
imbalance of gut bacteria."
Replace With: Kombucha
"Kombucha is a drink that is fermented, and therefore it’s full of
probiotics, or gut-healthy bacteria!" the doctor said. "So drinking
kombucha can help repopulate your healthy gut bacteria and rebalance your
microbes. In layman's terms: by fixing your gut, you can clear up your skin! It
can be that simple."
Eliminate: Canned Soup

"Canned soup is full of sodium and BPA (bisphenol)," he noted.
"All of the salt in canned soup can make your skin retain water and appear
bloated and dry. In addition, BPA is an endocrine disruptor, which causes
problems with hormones. It’s also a foreign chemical that can enter your body
and cause inflammation."
Replace With: Bone Broth
"Bone broth
is soothing for the gut and healing for its lining," he explained.
"It also contains collagen, which can work wonders in improving the
elasticity of your skin."
Eliminate: Canned Tuna
"Canned tuna is often farmed and lacking in the nutrients found in
wild fish," Dr. Lipman warned. "Additionally, tuna is high in
mercury, which can lead to mercury toxicity!"
Replace With: Canned Salmon
"Canned wild salmon is high healthy fats, especially
omega-3s," he said. "These fats reinforce cell membranes and
therefore help nourish the skin. Omega-3 fatty acids are also great natural
anti-inflammatories."
Eliminate: Coffee
"Caffeine is a diuretic, which causes your body to lose water and
your skin to be dehydrated," he noted.
Replace With: Hot Water With Lemon

"It’s hydrating, full of antioxidants, and helps reduce the risk of
inflammation," Dr. Lipman offered. "It also helps support liver
function. The liver is the main organ that detoxifies the body. If you’re full
of toxins, you’re more likely to break out."
