So I have been doing some research on the apple diet. I'm really interested. I've been dealing with i guess "hormonal" acne the creams and cleansers do not seem to be helping. any ideas or suggestions about the apple diet?

if any one has tried it, loved to hear their diet plan and how it worked for them!

thanks!

well i eat apples everyday. idk how much it has helped my acne though? i just eat bananna apples carrots broccoli and cantalope everyday and then i eat whatever else i want. seems how i found a really good cleanser for my acne i eat what i want along with those fruits and veggies and my acne has never been better good luck! i did hear a saying once that an apple a day keeps the doctors away LOL

My skin is always happiest when I get plenty of fresh fruits, pistachios, leafy greens and (I know dairy is supposed to be the enemy) Greek yogurt.

@ dreamingofclearskin2011 what cleanser do you use? i've been dying to find a perfect cleanser for my face. i started using cetaphil as it's recommended but i seem to have small flesh colored bumps developing under my skin. so i started using deep cleansing cream by burts bees. it helps make my face smooth but nothing is helping with the acne. any help?

Are you talking about a diet? Or a cleanse? You can fast on apple juice if you want, but I've never heard of an "apple diet"

i've been reading of some people doing an apple diet for a couple days at a time. where they eat nothing but apples and drink only apple juice. i hear its suppose to cleanse your system and help clear up your acne fast

i use a cleanser called hibiclense check out my log in my signature. its the best cleanser ive ever used in my whole life! seriously it cleared my acne 85% in just 7 days.
are you in the states? if your are out of the US its hard to find hibiclens in stores.

also if you just want to detox and flush out your system. just go buy real lemons and and drink lemon water all day every day. it cleanses your system of toxins amazingly! i think you would have to drink half a lemon in amand half a lemon at night every day to get fast results. some people even say that doing that alone clears their skin completely in a few weeks. let me know if you have any questions on hibiclens.

only drink water and lemons? not anything to eat? i think i would die lol maybe could you be more specific...

and yes im in the states ill look up the cleanser you use, thanks!

apples are great, contain lots of fiber, good mild detoxifier. However, green apples are better for acne sufferers, it contains less sugar ( even better if rather them for its taste)

no silly not just drink it i mean you can eat whatever youd like preferably a decent diet but throughout the day also drink the lemon water. one full lemon a day will clean out your system.

I think that if you're looking for a cleanse you should fast on the juice of the apples, and slowly (as you get more practice fasting) move into water fasting. Water fasting is THE healing tool that will detoxify and cleanse and reset your system unlike any other. Plus, it's pretty much free. But--It took me 7 juice fasts to be able to be strong and clean enough to water fast. Previously the detoxification came too hard too fast and it just would floor me every time. Water fasting is a deep cleanse for experienced cleansers.

Do you have a juicer? YOu can juice the apples... this would be far preferrable to just eating apples every day.

[dreamingofclearskin2011]

i found out that after eating one apple everyday for almost 2 or 3 months i got constipated and extrememly bad intestinal problems. once i quit apples i have been regular since! i still havent eatin an apple since then and ive been feeling so much better no more cramps or constipation at all

kinda gross i know but i just wanted to warn you just in case you are eating apples.. you might not want to eat so many every single day.. maybe sqitch it up everyother day with different fruits..

[teahbaby]

thanks! i've been trying to eat one a day. but i just went to the grocery store so i have plenty of other fresh veggies around so i've been snacking on them! any veggies you suggest i eat daily?

[christinehayes]

it is fine if you try juicing your apples.

I use my apples with green smoothie

i love drinking green smoothie
