AFTER 19 YRS I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT. It's sugar!! In all shapes and sizes except fruit. If you can cut it out or limit it to one day a week. I think you will be surprised to see no acne after awhile. If anyone reads my history you'll see I have had it pretty bad. I posted on here i am clear now. Well Sunday I cheated and had a dairy queen sundae and then tuesday we had gelato and an organic dark chocolate bar. what happened? I woke up yesterday with one pimple. After being clear for a few weeks. I expected it cuz I ate to much sugar over the week.
Sugar is a huge culprit because your insulin spikes tremendously to get the blood at a normal level. Not only this but it calls in All the other hormones ..in particular your adrenal glands. So really keep the sugar to one day a week and not to much of it. Try this for a few months. 3-6 months to really notice a difference I would imagine.
I don't have a problem with fruits. I am on the master cleanse again. for the entire month ..its been weeks now.
And not even the maple syrup is bothering me. I really think it's more about processed refined sugar and HFCS.
I do eat fruit on my fast if i am starving to death also. NO zits or anything. Only on my cheat day if i eat to much crap food i'll get one.
Hi Not to mention,
Nutri-Grain bars are on the list of genetically engineered ingredients. I wouldn't ever buy them. However I did used to love those.
Yes! I wonder if there would be a day when we dont have this reaction to sugar if we continue to get healthier.
YEP STILL NO ACNE.....ONLY AN OCCASIONAL PIMPLE WHEN I GO ON A LIL SUGAR BINGE. WHICH IS ONCE A WEEK.
i HAD SOME PRETTY MODERATE TO SEVERE ACNE TO. sEROIUSLY NO SUGAR PEOPLE
what would you consider a cure? I think being clear for an entire month for the first time in 19 yrs is pretty permanent. it takes time lots of time...I have been at it even longer than you.
But you cant just not eat sugar for a week and then have sugar next week ...In order to get clear you need a good 3 months or so with virtually no sugar.
BE HONEST how much sugar are you eating ? No one ever is honest with themselves.
And if you SERIOUSLY dont' want your acne. Dont eat bread cereal or yogurt either..ALL HAVE SUGAR!
eat only fruits veggies., meats ..fish and nuts. thats basically it.. YOu do that for a few months and i bet you'll notice no more acne.
Now one thing you seem to not understand what sugar does..by itself you think its the enemy ..It is not.
Excess sugar causes the body to send the signal needing more insulin to balance the blood. Not only this? but the body also signals for other hormones to be called into action. there are many hormones located in the adrenal glands 50+ if you are eating sugary foods. YOu have tons of hormones coursing through your body at one time. So it's inevitable you will wind up with major acne on your face.
I also think the liver does really play an important role into the longterm effects of getting rid of acne. But if you want short term effects while continuing to cleanse your liver? Drastically eliminate the sugar. even if it means using splenda ..If your face means that much to you. you will use splenda..I know it sucks we are all trying to be healthy. but i'll have splenda before i get a new scar. OR some other sweetener that is not hugely affected by acne.
so rodger I dont think ur really giving it a honest attempt at avoiding the sugar. I am a SUGARHOLIC ..I love it like an alcoholic. I have lived in denial for 2 decades thinking it was not the cause of my acne ..NO WAY...well? YOu can't have your cake and eat it to. At least not right now if you want clear skin.
Look up velocity diet ..if you want a 2 week crash course on getting clear skin ..as what accidentally happened to me.
I have been able to finally control my face since Sept 14th ..I think its practically a miracle to me.
Now if i get a pimple I can directly relate it to excess sugar on my cheat day..Sometimes though I can have sugar and not get any kinda pimple at all. I think the amount of sugar on any given day is the major deciding factor.
But if your acne is not under control you will not be able to tell.
Crash course acne diet
I also take fish oil pills and lecithin Which is not the reason for my clear skin. I was taking those WAY before i got clear skin.
LOL i just caught this! YOu say you don't dare have syrup but you're eating PANCAKES? WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK PANCAKES HAVE IN IT?
YOU PHAIL! you gave your acne a half hearted approach and then you come on here telling everyone to spend thousands on accutane and antibiotics when you couldn't even cut the sugar out.
Of course you never got rid of your acne. You didnt cut the sugar ..YOu just cut the syrup. or direct sugar.
unbelievable.
Coincidentally Grade B maple syrup doesnt effect my acne AT ALL!
I cant help to be angry with what you just said. You never REALLY TRIED! And now you are giving people no hope just because you couldnt put down your pancakes
That's your own fault.
