samariah 0 Share Posted November 5, 2007 i'm just curious. how many of you eat very healthy only for good skin and would eat the standard american diet if your skin remained clear and how many of you eat healthy because you feel the benefits go far beyond having clear skin. i know some people who eat well and once they clear up go back to eating junk and sometimes bc they have healed their bodies and their bodies are better able to get rid of junk, etc they dont get bad acne in return or it is less severe. other people make it a complete lifestyle change and aren't constantly thinking of ways they can incorporate junk food into their diet without breaking out. for me i think having acne from poor diet is almost a gift in disguise. yes i have to eat very heatlhy to have nice skin but as a result i will have much greater interior health, more energy, clearer thinking and i will just feel good in general. i know that if my skin stayed clear eating junk, that i would have a much harder time staying motivated to eat well a lot of the time. anyone else feel the same?

samariah 0 Author Share Posted November 5, 2007 yeah, good diet, to me, is healthy, whole foods. eating lots of fruits, veggies, legumes, some whole grains if you can tolerate them. if you eat animal products that includes eggs, fish, healthy meats. a healthy diet also includes proper preparation methods. this means boiling, steaming, stir frying or baking at lower temps and not deep frying or char grilling, etc. there are also other methods for preparing foods such as sprouting, fermenting, blending, etc that make those foods much healthier and provide much more nutrition for your body.

Wynne 131 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Couldn't agree more with the above post. That also pertains to adequate hydration and water intake. You will all find it amazing how good you feel physically and mentally with adequate water intake! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Iliad 0 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I dunno. I have always been a strong advocate of healthy living, and would probably continue to do so even if my face cleared up. Eating shit makes me feel like shit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kukumalu 0 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I only became aware of my diet when I got acne really. So if I never had acne, I would be eating badly. If I cleared up tomorrow, I would still eat healthily but have some treats like chocolate or a cake every week or something. I wouldn't worry so much about it but I would still be 90% healthy.
