AuthorTopic: Mucus Forming Foods

09:57 AM		15 years of acne and I'm just now starting to get slowly somewhere!

After radically changing my diet 2 years ago, although things have improved without the aid of antibiotics or topicals I'm still no nearer to finding out If a particular food, food group, or hormones are causing it!

The diet I'm on at the moment focuses on
1. elemination Mucus from the body
2. balancing hormones (the zone diet - worth a read!!!)

Still getting acne mainly on my back now but its the deep kind!

I have a question!
The diet I'm on at the moment and one I was on before stressed egg yolks were not to be used at all, so how come your diet is so different?....and there seems to be on mention of cutting out any of Mucus forming foods in the early or later stages.

If I have no luck with the diet I'm on at the moment, then I will use your diet

Can you give me some advice please

Thanks

That is because you have not tried to eliminate all possible diet factors at once; an elimination diet.
Once you have been on my diet for a few weeks, you will be absolutely sure that diet is a key factor in your acne, or not.
And, by then re-introducing 'bad' foods into your diet, you will find out EXACTLY what foods your skin can cope with without getting acne again.

Almost everybody thinks that egg yolks are unhealthy. Either for their fat contents, their cholesterol contents, or because of the bacteria they contain.
Good fats are not bad, at all, and don't cause acne.
Good cholesterol is not bad at all; bad cholesterol (oxysterols) are formed due to the influence of heat: http://www.13.waisays.com/cholesterol
Bacteria are not dangerous, unless your defense system is not properly trasined; if you go to a exotic country and eat local food, you probably get ill, while the locals do not; a matter of adaption. Ingesting small amounts of bacteria on a regular basis functions as a vaccination: your defense gets to know the bacteria, and is trained to destroy these. A properly trained defense system can perfectly deal with bacteria-infected food.

My diet is different because I have a very different theory as to how acne is caused (the combination of secreting much sebum and retaining too much water in the skin).

All cooked foods are mucus forming, not fresh RAW egg yolks.
