Why didn't you cut it after 3 days then? You let it develop into cystic acne? You must really love cauliflower.   I doubt anyoe is going to be able to tell you "why". It is unusual and the first...

I just don't believe acne occurs in "healthy" individuals. If you have acne, you are doing something wrong. Acne is absent in isolated, primitive societies. What is the greatest difference between the...

You may feel you've done everything you can for diet but you probably haven't. The modern food supply is far more screwed up than you think. More fruit and veggies is great but have you eliminated ALL...

  People also generally don't want to believe that acne and diet are connected because people are emotionally connected to their food. They are also addicted. Cutting food out of your life requ...

  OP, diet is everything. I have 100% cleared my very persistent acne using nothing but diet and cod liver oil supplementation.   I'm not sure if you are doing this yet but AVOID VEGETABL...

Actually, I care. I know exactly what you're going through. I'd say it usually takes my skin about 4-5 days to react from eating bad food.   I've come to the conclusion that cheating is just nev...

All you need for fiber is fruits, vegetables, nuts, and berries. There is no need for grains if you wish to eliminate them (pun intended). Also, your body just needs time to adapt to your new diet.

Agree to disagree.. I believe that carbs are essential to gaining weight. Besides, to reach my 2600 kcal goal I'd have to eat a lot of fat (=unhealthy) or a lot of protein (=expensive).   Pro...

What products are you using on your skin/hair? I would stop using any products you have been using on your skin for a while and see if it improves (just wash with water for a while and see what happen...

I avoid rice because it's a grain. Go outside and try to gather some wild rice. Does it make sense to eat large amounts every day?

I know this feeling so well. Just remember that in a day or two or three it will not be nearly as red and you will be pretty much over it.

Overhaul your diet. "Pretty clean" and "minimal sugar" won't cut it. Eat meat, fruit, and vegetables only. Get rid of cereal, bread, dairy, and vegetable oils.

It's pretty much too late. I find raw egg yolk can reduce redness. I dab some on and let it dry and then peel it off a few hours later. Luckily, I don't have to do this anymore because my skin is unde...

Linking diet to acne metabolomics, inflammation, and comedogenesis: an update

I never cleanse acne-prone skin at all. It makes my skin produce more oil and quickly. The skin self-cleans and self-lubes; no extra attention necessary.

Food producers have incentive to keep the food supply healthy only insofar as the food keeps us alive long enough to have children who will buy more junk food. They have no incentive to keep individua...

OP, I feel your pain. I know the emotional struggle you describe and it is truly torture. People who don't get acne really have no clue how damaging this disease can be for self-image, self esteem, co...

OP, you are smart to chop out the cereal, bread, dairy. I would advise removing vegetable oils as well but red meat?? No. Red meat will not cause acne. If you don't want to eat red meat then eat some ...

Never and I eat tons. Are you using unrefined? Close to the source as possible is probably best.

Doctors and scientists still don't know what is going on at a microbiological molecular level. The same way they do not fully understand cancer or heart disease.   If we fully understood any dis...

You don't necessarily need carbs to gain weight. You need calories.   I put on 15 lbs of muscle in the last 10 weeks on a heavy meat, eggs, avocados, nuts, coconut oil and butter diet.   A...
