Hi all.
In the last 2 months I made major changes in my diet. Now I'm to skinny, and I can't continue like this. I decided to come back at my habits to regain some weight. Does anyone got results with only regimen and no diet changes? PS: I'll still not eat dairy. |

No. Describe your diet. Good diet doesn't = weight loss.

Status: Clear after 30 years. Over 3 years in March '09! Good Things for Acne Story: Severe Acne since I was 10. 10+ years of Dermatologists, Antibiotics, topicals and ACCUTANE did nothing. Discovered oranges triggered the worst of my cystic acne = about 70% improvement. B-complex with zinc and C, saw palmetto and aspirin mask = more improvement, a lot less oily. Diet changes = Clear. Regimen: Anti-inflammatory, nutrient dense, blood sugar stabilizing diet and supplements (for hormones, inflammation, aging, health). Mild cleanser. Occasional BHA usage. Jojoba or Moisturizer w/ niacinimide for hyperpigmentation. For more info see my personal Log/Notes Diet effects acne in so many ways: hormone balance, inflammation, Insulin levels, digestion, allergies and intolerances, liver function, adrenal function, SHBG levels, sebum quality, cell function and turnover, nutrient deficiencies, body fat, etc. All inter-related, some with a causal effect on the others Also affected by environment and lifestyle habits like stress management, sleep and exercise. Lots more info. List of clinical studies demonstrating diet and acne connection. List of members who've cleared their skin via diet and healthy lifestyle. Basic advice: Eat, sleep, supplement and exercise like you are a diabetic. And eat real food! When you eat stuff, Stuff Happens! |

You need to add fat and protein sources. Drizzle some olive oil on your veggies. And add back in some animal fat if you eat it. Otherwise, there's nuts and avocados.
Has your diet improved your skin? One thing about adding things back in are that you could have an intolerance to them, so since you've already managed to maintain such a restrictive diet, you ought to keep it up and add in foods in a controlled way so you can watch for reactions. Here's a list of hypo-allergenic foods to start with: http://www.acne.org/messageboard/Food-and-...73#entry2356573

Whenever I eat something I make the pulse-test(to see if I'm allergic to that food). I think you know this test.
Thanks for help! [EDIT]:One more question. Are the vegetable oils(olive oil, sunflower oil etc) so bad for your skin? I read the "Mr X Acne Says" ebook and he claims that those are the worse. I think that it increase your insulin resistance or something. I need some opinion for this. |
