Good for you!

I have had to use different diets at different times of my life. I knew when I read your post, you were going to get some resistance, We all have to find out what works for us, and if one thing stops working for us, it is up to us to do the investigation.

I was a diabetic and you should see the awful stuff they recommend for that. I do well on protein and vegetables. About 20 years ago, I did well on protein and fruit, no vegetables, no starches. Everyone was always touting pasta, which for certain people apparently worked.

The skin is a good barometer. If you are clearing it up, that's a sign you are in the right direction. You are young and don't have as much junk in your body as some of us, but it seems you are taking control of your health.

There is always the tendency to believe this is good, and thar is bad and we struggle to put ourselves in a box, never mind if it is not our box. I learn so much when someone posts "I did this and had a certain result." I don't learn from posts that say do this, do that, you will be better.

So you go, girl, and keep posting. There will be many you will never convince, no matter. Just keep posting.
