Woody Harrelson would like to contribute: "I was on a bus and some girl sees me blowing my nose," Harrelson is saying of his early years trying to make it as an actor in New York. "I had acne all o...

Yes sir. Roughly between 1400-1800 calories.

I've been consuming cacao nibs a few times a week which is a good source of magnesium. I always notice that I feel more stimulated and my muscles are relaxed when I get back to work after lunch. It's...

I accidentally went very low carb for 5 days one time. I felt like complete garbage by the fifth day and always felt hungry, even though I was getting high calories through the fat content. I guess it...

As far as I can tell, only vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium & iron are mandatory for nutrition labels (plus all the other stuff: calories, fat, carbohydrates, protein, etc.). A lot of labels don't in...

1 lb. I've eaten upwards of 2 lbs before. I would actually like to make that the norm, but due to convenience and money... Meat, fish, coconut & macadmia nuts

There's nothing explicitly wrong about consuming a banana once a month, or a couple times a week for that matter. It all depends on your goals and individual body needs. For me it was about initially ...

I can't say. I gave up table salt completely when I first started my diet a year and a half ago. But mostly due to health reasons in general, not to do with acne. I agree with alternativista.

Protip: fat does not make you "fat". It's the carbs like you said. Some good sources would be animal fat, fish, avocados, olive oil, macadamia nuts, eggs. Sweet potatoes are also good for getting in t...

I honestly have not tried a banana since I started this diet a year and a half ago, mainly due to initially avoiding high sugar/glycemic foods. Haven't gotten around to reintroducing it yet. I've been...

Just an update on things.. I'm having great success with paleo + rotation + low omega-6 + FODMAPs right now. FODMAPs seems like the thing that progressed me from mild to near clear. A few snags here a...

I personally haven't had any troubles with sea salt, and I've been consuming it nearly everyday for the past year. Also Himalayan pink salt for that matter.

I'm currently doing FODMAP's for the month of March. After being paleo for about a year, my skin was at its clearest in December/January, but then I started eating a lot of onions & garlic as a pr...

Huh? I guess I should edit my thread title...

This has been my diet for the last number of months: Breakfast: a shot of turmeric w/ black pepper, winter squash (acorn, buttercup, butternut, or kabocha) or sweet potato w/ cinnamon Snack: 2 avoc...

I agree with dejaclairevoyant, I would start by experimenting with the beans first. Then you can look into the coconut oil, then the apples/carrots if you really have a sneaking suspicion. If you're w...

-Sweet potato w/ cinnamon, a shot of turmeric & black pepper -2 avocados -Romaine lettuce & ambercup squash w/ cinnamon (was amazing) -Cranberries -Extra virgin olive oil, sauerkraut, grou...

I have had great success.

I've also just started taking prebiotics/probiotics after being paleo for a while now. Been consuming raw sauerkraut and leeks as prebiotics. I hope it's the next step in the right direction to restor...

I tend to use chicken bones, since I eat about 3 chickens a week. I like to add a little bit of beef or lamb bones since I can't seem to get the liquid to gel with just chicken bones.

Sweet potatoes are so good with cinnamon. Reminds me of pumpkin pie filling.

So this is a picture from back in September 2011 when I became super down and depressed about my acne. This was when I decided to stop trying the topical approach and explore it from the inside via di...

I guess I'll just use this as my progress thread. Random tidbits:   I had a bit of a hiccup shortly after my last post with a few inflamed cysts, but they went away fairly quickly and I haven't h...

I don't know about "vitamins" per se, but the best things to heal leaky gut are to 1) avoid foods that would irritate it, 2) bone broths, 3) mucilaginous plants, 4) L-glutamine (which you can also get...

Is marshmallow root and/or slippery elm known to cause drowsiness? I've been really sleepy during the evenings lately to the point where I'm dosing off in front of the computer hours before bed. In ot...
