I recently had a bout of excema, first time I've ever had it.
As part of clearing it up, I followed a standard food allergen-free diet. This diet was roughly as follows -
Avoid:
All grains excepting gluten-free corn and rice, definitely avoid wheat
Egg
Dairy
Soy
Nuts
Excess sugar
Anyway, I've been a long-time athlete and bodybuilder, but despite being in super shape, there were many days where I might not feel super-energetic, particularly upon waking.
Now? I feel good all the time. And this is even though I've taken a 2 month hiatus from working out (due to shoulder needing to heal).
I wake up and I feel good. I feel good now, I never feel run down, "icky" or anything like that. It's really quite nice, nice enough to be worth giving up those foods.
I tried experimenting with adding wheat and dairy back in, and felt like shit the next day and a half.
Anyway, I'd recommend trying the above diet to anyone as an experiment.
Try it for a few weeks. Your friends will be trans-fat free popcorn and various meats.
