Re: How important is it for fasting days to be consecutive for acne? I keep breaking fasts and starting over?

Ferisong,
just to reassure you that you cannot burn lean tissue even though you are thin, because natural and intense hunger would appear in the prevention of starvation. In most cases the skeleton condition would need to be reached before protein tissue is consumed. Fasting proper will initiate "protein sparing".
If anyone were to reach such a stage, then the body would also consume the vital organs and other sources of protein: such is the difference between fasting and starvation.

This is what Shelton and others (Weger) had to say about any and all disease conditions of the skin...........

"Care of the Patient: Skin eruptions, if not due to purely local causes, as in poison ivy, are eliminative efforts. No attention should be given to the eruption beyond obeying the impulse to scratch and keeping the skin clean. First, last and all the time, proper care of the skin consists in removing the morbid systemic condition — toxemia and autointoxication — that the eruption seeks to throw off. The first principle in dealing with skin affections is to deal with the internal conditions with which they are associated by removing and correcting the causes of these.
Functional impairments — faulty elimination, digestive derangements, glandular defects, etc. — growing out of enervation and toxemia, even skin eruptions due to allergy, necessitate the removal of the organismal impairment, for the systemic impairment and not the specific food, is the cause of the allergy. Only by removing the fundamental cause of allergy can we prevent the systemic degeneration that is otherwise inevitable in allergic individuals.
Weger says: "We have found Psoriasis to respond to dietetic treatment in all cases. In some, a complete cure can be effected in four to six weeks. Cases of long standing occurring in people of low vitality may require six months or longer before the eruption disappears entirely. Excess of sugars and starches in the diet is the most important of food factors. The patches begin to fade at the end of a week of complete fasting and in two weeks they have usually disappeared leaving only a smooth, pink surface at the site of the lesion. * * * Once overcome dietetically there is no recurrence of Psoriasis unless the patient returns to former habits of eating or becomes so enervated as to bring about the same kind and degree of toxemia as had previously existed. Psoriasis undoubtedly represents a toxic state and should be so treated." All so-called "diseases" are liable to recur, unless the habits of life that brought them on in the first place are understood and corrected.
This care will serve equally as well in boils, acne, herpes, eczema, and all the other inflammations of the skin. In herpes simplex, Weger says, there is "no constitutional remedy so effective as clearing out the intestinal tract and stopping all food for a day or two."
Besides fasting, proper diet and cleanliness, we find sun-bathing to be very beneficial in all skin affections. It is necessary to remove all causes of enervation".

A fast of several more days will help to kick-start your elimination of toxins, but I am not surprised that your Acne has continued, and will continue to continue, because of your consumption of disease-causing foods: tortilla chips and a crunch bar!! The adage: "You are what you eat" still rings true today as it did yesterday. Food is more than just calories.

An exclusive diet of non-starchy vegetables and fruits, eaten only when hunger appears (this could be one or two meals per day) and after your initial days of fasting, will help to resolve your Acne in time, and as long as your other lifestyle choices avoid enervation (an abundance of sleep/rest and fresh air) will help to avoid any further systemic toxemia, and help to eliminate the toxemia you already have that has led to your development of Acne in the first instance.
