Hey Caroline!

Sorry to break it to you but it´s the diet. I recently started with a diet similar to yours and it has really helped me. I drink one glass of water with all my meals (or tea, with breakfast). And I eat A LOT of soup, I just see to it that I always get vegetables, protein, vegetable fats and animal fats in every meal. This is what is keeping me clear. I don´t think about "oh I can´t drink now" but I don´t drink like one litre of water with my food. (the food is filling me up too much, I can´t drink too much.) Just keep it simple and relaxed, don´t bother too much (and don´t eat sugar, wheat and fruits just some in the weekend), you´ll see it works without the water rules.......

Has anyone tried this method with using digestive enzymes or HCL(helps stimulate stomach acids)?

Hi everone i've had moderate acne for like 2 years now.. Just wanted to share that this method works! I've been doing this method, drinking alcohol, eating food that's high GI and I have barley broken out! seriously the only thing that breaks me out is food im allergic too and wheat ( gluten )

Im pretty sure that I will be 99% clear in a week (trying to stay healthy)

[Riddled]

If this basically boils down to eating and drinking at seperate times i have been doing it for the last few years and i makes no difference to my acne.
I do it for digestion although i'm not sure there is any science behind it. I noticed i don't really get on with soup and bread together years ago but could eat the soup or bread on its own alright so i stopped drinking and eating together and tried to seperate food types when possible. I noticed the worst culprits were coffee or juice with any food but especially full breakfasts, also alcohol, specifically beer and food was never a good combo.

If you have digestion problems i recommend it and try seperating foods out and see if it makes any difference. I like to eat fruit on its own and try not to combine carbs and protein even though it goes against all the blood sugar stuff.

I think improving digestion may make your acne worse as well as better depending on your situation.

[Sito]

so what is the exact guidelines to this routine or diet.

Wake up & Eat,

then drink water after two hours

then Eat again after another two hours

then drink water again after two hours after the 2nd meal.

Then eat the last meal, two hours after drinking water again.

And lastly, drinking water>>>

ANd where would green SMoothies fit into this>> i mean, do they count as eating or drinking??

i usually have my green smoothies an hour after i wake. Then another later on in the evening, but i don't know whether they constitute eating or drinking>>

Can someone HELP ME OUt real Quick>??

thanks.

[Tunnelvisionary]

I decided to give this a shot a few weeks ago, and had some surprising results...

I stopped drinking water an hour or so before meals, and after meals (whereas before, I'd drink water all the time, and have juice and stuff with every meal). I don't know if I'm able to absorb nutrients better, or breakdown toxins better or what, but I've never been as clear as I have been since I started getting acne around age 12-13. Now, it's not perfect, but my skin texture is much better overall, I do not break out nearly as much, and when I do break out, it is not nearly as bad as it could be.

What's even better is that I had been taking antibiotics for about a year and a half, and with this 'trick', I was able to get off them. Which is amazing, because I do not think taking relatively strong antibiotics for a long period of time can be good for you at all.

And even more interesting is that I've seen pimples I do have disappear very quickly since starting this. I never thought a pimple could disappear in a matter of hours until I started doing this.

Now, it's not perfect. I still breakout a tiny bit. I suspect its because I have stopped taking antibiotics after taking them for such a long time. My chest has been breaking out some days, and then clearing up almost completely other days. Strangely, this method it has kept my skin looking consistently above the norm since I started, so now I'm thinking there is probably something to the idea that a truly effective acne treatment treats the inside, rather than just the symptoms.

I'll be around these forums for a while trying out different things. My goal is to eventually get off the creams that my dermatologist has been perscribing, and then fix the wrinkles I've gotten as a result of using acne products that have been drying my skin for years. I'm only 19. Ever wondered what it's like to have skin still be shiny and a bit oily, while still feeling tight and dry? I don't know how it happens but it does.

[okaythen]

So glad you found something that works for you, and thank you for sharing!
I'm going to give this a shot, starting tomorrow.

Just a question, what about multivitamins/pills you're supposed to have after meals?

[numbaunstunna]

Hmm.. Interesting concept. Anyone have a theory as to why this works? I remember my grandma telling me I shouldn't be drinking when eating. I guess she knew something I didn't.

[NutritionFrog]

Congratulation for finding a way to be clear!! Have you ever tried drinking Apple Cider Vinegar? It really works as it is very antibacterial which is always going to help the bad bacteria on your face! But you seem to have found a way! Acne has made me healthier so i own it a thanks i guess! lol

[betsy91]

I did this and it made me pass so many bowl movements in the day =\ I got in trouble at work because I had to go to the bathroom so much =\

I know this thread is old, but so many people have benefited from this method that I might as well try it myself. I have tried tons of things to clear my acne and the best so far was a paleo type diet emphasis on the fish, but now that i don't have access to a kitchen I am forced to eat less healthy than before. My skin is not so good. But at the begginning of this month, while eating a not so healthy diet, my skin was doing fine, like really well. I wasn't 100% clear. (I dont think I will ever be) but I was completely satisfied with it. Now my skin condition is alot worse. But one thing I noticed was that I started this method at the beggining of the month. I wasn't totally strict with it, but I just followed it loosely because it was something I was always told was healthy. I hadd never even read this page before. So I think because I have strayed from it (drinking coffee right after meals and just not paying attention) my skin has broken out. I will be back to post my progress. I plan on being very strict with it. 2 hours before and after. Today is Day 1. Wish me luck.

Thanks for the bump Joner, I think I wouldn't have heard of this method otherwise.

I have currently done this for two days and probably keep going forever if this gives good results.
My skin pattern has already changed a bit and the food seems to digest much faster.

Are there any scientifical documents of this? Could the same amount of food actually provide more nutrients when digested properly? This method seems quite good since in the animal kingdom no animal drinks and eats at the same time afaik with the exception of some domestic animals which are forced to do it by us.
