Try a low-carb diet

cjb · 2007-01-02T04:03:46Z

Hi everyone, I feel for all of you, because I have suffered from adult acne too. It started when I was in my mid-twenties, and I'd never had a problem before. There's so much that can go into finding the root cause of adult acne, but I really think that many (maybe not ALL) people could find relief from following some type of low-carb diet. If you look in the diet logs, you'll see some people (including Dan) who have been successful with the Paleo diet. This is great, but it's a really strict diet that allows only meat/fish, eggs, vegetables, fruit and nuts. No dairy, grains, sugar, salt, vinegar. It has been too difficult to follow for some people (even though it's been successful for them). However, I follow a pretty liberal low carb style diet and my acne has disappeared. My menstrual cramps are much better and my stomach is flat, whereas it used to be so bloated I looked like I was pregnant. It's just something to look into and try, because it apparently DOES work for some people and it's at least a tool you can use in fighting acne. There are many possible reasons why it works, which I won't go into, but I really think it's worth a shot.P.S. Please don't move this to diet/holistic because everybody there already knows this. I'm just trying to spread the word, because it has been so successful for me.

I couldn't agree more with the idea of major diet change to clear up acne. Especially a diet really high in fiber. I don't want to re-type my post, but this is what worked for me at 37. Finally looking forward to being out in the sunshine in summer again!
