Thanks for the welcome 
jiml: I guess it all depends on how bad the condition is. If it would be bad enough it would probably motivate you
Although it was not that hard quitting animal-products. Cravings after a nice steak, is easily "suppressed" with beans or other legumes with proper seasoning. Next time you are at the store, pick up a pack of veggie burgers and try telling me they dont taste like regular meat hehe.
Caroline: To be fair, I eat like a whole pack of crackers each day for like four days in a row ;
But yeah, its still there. Although now it feels more like a form of food intolerance than anything else.
I should add my psoriasis condition have never improved over this +decade. Basically I have been on different types of medication and light treatment, but as soon as the treatment was finished the psoriasis has come back. Growing slowly, increasing in size and spreading to more parts of my body. So to be able to reverse the past 10 years is a real relief. Hm, although one thing I have noticed that is quite odd is that my legs cleared up much quicker than what my arms are doing. Odd because when on treatment, medication or light therapy, its always the arms/elbows that are easy to heal.
So, specifically what I do not eat now is anything that comes from animals. Nothing milk based (milk, butter, yoghurt, cheese, milk powder etc), no fish, no eggs, no meat. When buying finished products (like crackers), reading the ingredients label is important.
This part of my diet has been changed to beans and legumes instead, so still get my protein.
First time ever I have been without medication for this long, feels awesome :
No problems sleeping at night any more either, as this has been a big issue before. Happy to not have to contaminate my body with any more medication, as the medication has always worried me more than the disease itself (specially when you read about the side effects, and studies made for like cancer and for example Methotrexate).
