[I don't know why]

Hello everybody,

Does anyone break out when they take a multivitamin? Eat too much: milk? cheese? cereal? bread? pasta? enriched juices? vitamin/protien bars?

I know I do. I did a little research and found that a lot of our daily foods are enriched with all sorts of vitamins. Milk, cheese, flours and cereals. I know how bad my face can get when I supplement with "vitamins" and I'm sensing a strong connection here. I'm not saying that eating these foods once a week will cause anything, but eating them on a daily bases perhaps. This isn't much of a informative post about food fortification but rather then I'm going to test it out for a period of time and let you guys know the results. I'll be severly cutting down on fortified foods. I believe my main culprits are milk, cereal, and cheese. I will have the occassional bread, white flour (not fortified I believe), and yoghurt. Otherwise it's going to be fruit/veggies/meat/eggs and some chocolate . Again I don't think it's just eating these foods once, but rather eating too much. These vitamins could be aggrivating our skin, hormones or god knows what.

I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Day 1:

Progress. Even after day 1 I can see great improvement which means I am doing something right. I started my day with fruit and for lunch I had eggs with sausage and veggies. Inbetween I ate some dark chocolate and fruit and am now going to have a chicken dinner with a little bit of cake for desert. Mentally, I feel a LOT better. Much more alive and confident. There are two foods that I absolutely don't eat anymore that I used to eat daily: milk and cereal. Both, I strongly believe, are the main culprits for acne in the western diet. I also don't drink any soy or fruit juices with vitamins added and I go easy on the bread/flour/pasta stuff. I also consumed vitamin bars before and have cut those out also I am not taking any vitamins anymore. I'm also drinking more bottled water. Well that's day one, I'll update when neccessary.

Go Czech Republic.

Till next time...

Day 2:

Awesome. Not one new zit. I don't have any new acne and the scars are fading. The skin is looking great. By the way, I suffered from 6-7 years of cystic acne. I read a lot of the posts in here and chuckle, because I have been there and done that. Food group diets, inflammtion diets, masturbation "diet", clean teeth routine. LoL. Anyway, I am really on to something here. Hope I don't get assassinated before I clear up...

I had the same experience when I started to change my diet. Today I have clear skin if I don't stray from it and consume foods that I'm sensitive to. I had some Bailey's cheescake sunday and some monday, my face started to feel itchy and yesterday I got blemishes.

[I don't know why]

Today is about day 4ish and I have had one small zit. But the acne will not shut off asap. I believe the body needs time to cleans itsetlf and restore itself from the toxification. Anyway, all red marks are fading and one small "zit" if I can call it that. That's progress.
