Hello! I'm so glad your skin is improving!! I went on a strict diet a few months ago and saw a dramatic decrease with the spots I was getting - I was roughly 80% clear after a few weeks. My biggest pr...

Day 19 Junk food lesson learnt If you had seen the good condition that my acne was in this time last week compared to now you'd probably be shocked at the change. In the space of a week it's deteriora...

Day 17 Okay, so today I'm back on track with the paleo diet. Hopefully my skin will start to improve again in the next few days. I've got nothing new to report on in terms of skin condition as it's ba...

Day 16 Summery Because my skin has been yo-yoing in terms of overall condition in the past week I've decided to do a quick summery of how I've been coping on the paleo diet.   I officially began ...

Yeah with my paleo diet I sometimes really slip up. I don't keep any 'bad' foods at my house, but yesterday I went to my folk's house and ended up eating half a box of dry frosties straight from the b...

Personally, I think the 'everything in moderation' argument is complete bunk. Just because you're craving something, doesn't mean the body is going to appreciate having it. If you're trying the paleo ...

Day 15 Pimple update Today I'm restarting the diet. I think my face is worse off after eating all the junk food in the weekend just gone. For the first time in roughly a week I've got pimples on the l...

Well I'd mind ACNE. I don't mind pimples. If I had acne, I'd be quite upset, since pimples aren't constant and recurring like acne is. But I have 2 pimples (barely there now) on my chin, they don't re...

I was that way with family. But they really don't care! So next time I see my relatives, I won't hide my face like I did last time. And those foods you'd binge on all contain elements in them that t...

While some of it may be psychological, your choice of binge-foods would suggest that your body is also playing a role, in that your body needs these sugary foods. You aren't diabetic, you should not b...

Day 14 The funeral, emotional weekend This weekend I've basically neglected/forgotten about my paleo diet. Yesterday I had that binge session and today I've not done too well either.   At the mo...

Day 15 Cravings Okay, so it turns out sometimes I have no self control. After getting home from the uni open day (which wasn't that bad) I consumed: a strawberry cornetto ice cream, two slices of ca...

Day 13 Cravings Okay, so it turns out sometimes I have no self control. After getting home from the uni open day (which wasn't that bad) I consumed: a strawberry cornetto ice cream, two slices of cake...

Day 12 Pimple update So, half of my face is clear - except for one pesky spot I noticed this evening on the left hand side of my chin. The right hand side still has a bit of clearing up to do. Roughly...

Day 11 Pimple update My skin is definitely improving. The redness on the left hand side of my chin, the two pimples on my left cheek, the one pimple on my temple and the pimples on my forehead are all...

Start eating natural sources of sugar on a regular basis, and make sure you are eating enough portions in general. For salads, you should try just doing really large salads with lots of varied veggi...

Day 10 'Frosties' Okay, so this morning I let myself go a little. I'd woken up at 8am feeling nauseous, weak and my heart was beating extremely fast. I tried to get up but my legs and hands started to...

Hi acnejean! In your thread you said stay away from baked goods. I found a gluten free/wheat free/dairy free bread in the supermarket today and brought it - should I stay clear of it and throw it? I...

That's pretty much an elimination diet, which is talked about here. I'd never be willing to do that; I love food too much to bother assuming any type of connection could possibly exist between food an...

Are you making all of these changes all at once? IF so, you can't really very easily determine what is and is not actually causing new breakouts. Such as the bread for instance, it's very unlikely tha...

Day 8 I've got a group of new spots on the right hand side of my chin, on my back and one on my chest. This could be because: I've cut down the amount of Omega 3's I take every day The naturally occu...

I'll admit I've taken six Omega 3 Fish Oil's in 1 day before. It improved my skin so much. Now days I stick to three a day, although I would prefer to take six

Day 8 I officially started the healthy eating regime on Monday 27th of June - 1 week ago!   Pimple update Okay, so that bread did break me out. I'll be eating that in moderation from now. The pim...

Hi acnejean!   In your thread you said stay away from baked goods. I found a gluten free/wheat free/dairy free bread in the supermarket today and bought it - should I stay clear of it and throw i...

Day 7 Healthy bread This morning I went to the supermarket and saw some wheat free/gluten free/dairy free bread and I had to buy some. The bread was surprisingly tasty. Hopefully my skin doesn't react...
