Hi Wai,

This is for you 'Wai'. Well, I went through your research
and articles you put in your website.Its lot of
information for a person like me, after reading I'm
feeling what have been eating all my life was bad and acne
related.I'm indian by origin and lately from last
12 months I have regular breakouts.Most of time I have
pus coming out of it.I don't know what to do.I'm
pure vegeterian.I don't drink milk either.I drink
juices but buy from stores and eat indian food.I'm not
sure whether I'm allergic to any foods and why I
break out and I strongly feel there is no way to
overcome this and now I'm totally frustrated.
I even been to dermatologist with no help.I was
given the cleanser and told to wash the face twice
with it(www.visualchanges.com -> skin cleanser)

I have few breakouts but I don't know the reason why
is it happening to only me when other people eat
the same food and nothing happens to them.
I was never like this before, I was skin clear
and suddenly from last year this has made me crazy.
I'm so confused that I don't what to eat what not.

After going your website you mentioned
to follow the sample diet.Can I have sample diet for me
as well. I think its difficult to follow the sample
diet also because like sometimes you have to go for
dinner and lunch with friends/relatives.I just want
you to help me to come up with plan and help as i'd
really like to finish with this for once and all
if I can.

Could you suggest me what I'm have been eating wrong
these days which leads to breakouts.

Thanks,

Amir.

Hi Amir,

Wai is off for a weeks, so I will answer your questions for her.
I will move this thread to the "Other aspects about the sample diet" thread soon, because that is the right forum for it.

Does this mean that you don't want to eat fresh raw egg yolks or fresh raw fish?
If so, then the diet is even more difficult to maintain, and then you at least need to eat Brazil nuts (make very sure that you buy them IN the shell) to obtain all required protein.

quote:
I'm not sure whether I'm allergic to any foods and why I break out
In hardly any of us it is about an allergy; it is simply that cooked foods, salt and spices make us break out without triggering the immune system. (if strange proteins trigger the immune system, THEN your body reacts allergically)
Why you break out?
Because your skin produces much sebum, and that easily gets stuck in the sebum canals when they are pinched off.

The chances are VERY good that maintaining Wai's diet will eliminate your acne.

been there, as so many of us.
Acne is not caused by dirt clogging your pores (except for 'mineworkers acne')

That is very simple: because their skin does not produce as much sebum as your skin does. So, their sebum canals get pinched off without that this causes the accumulation of sebum.

The increase of sebum production is due to hormonal changes. Young people are subject to hormonal changes; I guess you are a young man?

The sample diet rules are very clear. Then check out the Q and A about the sample diet, and for more info, check the sample diet forums.
If you then still have questions, post them in the right forum, and they will be answered.

as well.

of course. What makes you wonder?

So?
Life is about making choices; Do you want to have a clear skin or do you want to eat 'normal food' with your friends. You cannot have both.
Both you and your friends can get used to your new eating habits.

You can.
The plan is already there: http://www.freeacnebook.com/SampleDiet.htm

Probably most of it.
All foods except raw fruits, raw juices, raw nuts and fresh raw animal food can cause acne.
What do you eat? (make a list)
