Well I have had acne since I was 13. Im now 36 (almost). I have never noticed any change due to diet in the past. HOWEVER, I recently gained some weight and thought I would do something about it. I basically whent on a low fat diet and promptly started to loose weight. After a few weeks I also noticed something much more interesting: my acne is MUCH better.

Essentially my skin has always been greasy. Panoxyl helps my acne and tends to reduce the grease. But having been on the diet for just over a month, my skin is dry; ive started to use simple moisturiser.

I always noticed my skin getting more greasy with fatty food, but never tried to reduce the fat in my diet for long enough to see the results on my acne; its only because ive changed diet for the weight problem that i stuck with it.

So, if you have greasy skin give it a go. At the very least it might be good for you.

I have been on the Wai Diet and I have been clear on it.
I had acne since about 8 years ago and now it has cleared up for the most part.
Only when I stray from the diet will I breakout.

I would suggest that people try it.
It does work for 90% of acne patients, only in those acne is hormonal will it not totally clear but it will help.

It also help get rid of those dairy and wheat addictions.

Is there a such thing as soy ice cream? If there is I want to know about it now!

OMG! Wow. Dairy. That is the problem! It all makes sense. Thanks guys.
So...I quit drinking milk as much as I used to when I was a child. NOW- Recently in the last 2 months- I started breaking out and right now my face looks like absolute crap! 2 months ago I started buying more cheese and buying a half gallon of 2% milk every week. I've been eating cereal every morning. Sometimes add the milk to my tea. It can't be a coincedence! I just found this site and read that dairy breaks the crap out of people. It is true for me. I am done with real milk. It's too bad but soy will be my new best friend!
IT IS THE DAIRY'S/MILK'S FAULT!!!
*2 months of heavy breakout
*Have been drinking milk everyday for about 2 months.
=total crap complexion

Hi guys, well,i think cutting back on sugars is helping,i also think my stessfull job has something to do with it, but i have about 20 purple/redish dots, does any body know what this is? and how can i get rid of these? sometimes the whiteheads reappear in those same areas,, whats the deal? thanks for your help.

Read this free acne book.
It explains how sugar, stress and diet do influence your skin.
And no, I ain't some spammer.
I have been on the diet for over a year and it has cleared my skin.
Tell me what you think!

You guys are gonna laugh, but I notice if I have at least 2 beers a day, my acne is almost completely eliminated, combined with washing only once a day in the morning and moisturizing only once a day, both with cetaphil, if I see a spot forming I dab it with differin and that usually nukes it.

But ive discovered that beer is an essential part of my diet, also ive notived that if I dont eat enough fatty greasy foods, my acne flares up, because when thoose foods calm me down and relax me, fatty greasy foods make me feel good and relieve my stress. Nothing like a big juicy greasy dripping hamburger for lunch to just give you that ohhhhhhhhmpph it feels good feeling.

Yes. Exactly!

Of course, I quit bothering going to dermatologists 15 years ago after nearly a decade of antibiotics and other completely ineffective treatments and advice. I only recently started ignoring everyone who said the diet connection was a myth, and guess what? After thirty years of acne, my skin is clear and no longer oily. And my diet isn't strict at all, either. I just eat fewer bad things and more good things. I.e. less sugar/simple carbs, more fiberous fruits and vegetables, protein, good fats, etc.

I notice many people describing their healthy diets including juices and whole grains, both of which can be problems for people. I have no problem with grains, but I can't drink much of apparently any juice without getting zits. I've recently learned I'm allergic to oranges, but figured out years ago that they caused the worst of my cystic acne. I can't eat the fruit or juice. But since clearing my skin, I've had breakouts after having a couple of glasses of guanaba juice, passion fruit juice, or lemon or lime in water. Although, it takes several glasses in the case of lemon/lime. I can have a glass of tea with lemon once a day for example. But I eat fruit and make smoothies with frozen purees of these fruits everyday without a problem.

Besides, you should eat the whole fruit. Much of the fiber, antioxidents and other, not yet identified phytonutrients are in the skins. Eat the fruit or puree it rather than juicing.

Determined MILK is causing my acne. Everytime I decide to eat a bowl of cereal, days later I breakout. Once I stop eating cereal, acne gone.

Been on Dans regime for 2 years. All is well - except when I start drinking Milk. SoyMilk also causes acne. So, no more milk for me -period! I can eat everything else - coffee, fast foods, carbs, chips, etc. Just no milk..
