| Author | Topic: Not having success with diet; using soap |
| MxPx 10-12-2002 03:54 PM | Man...I've been on this diet for 3 weeks now and u know what...my face actually looks worse than before. I don't know whats going on. I'm doing everthing right. the only thing i do is wash my face with soap. and the first week i had blended shakes. but for the last 2 weeks i have been very strict. Here is what i eat everday breakfast bannana plum peach apple hand shelled brazil nuts Lunch grapes banana apple peach brazil nuts salad with olive oil Dinner bananna apple grapes tamoto cumcumbers avacodo salad with olive oil 2 eggs brazil nuts I have been eating this way for 2 weeks. It's not hard eating this way but it's just disapointed not see any results. I'm going to continue for another 2 weeks but i seriosly think food doesn't effect my acne. If not then i'm going back on b5 again. |
| Scott 10-12-2002 05:37 PM | What kind of soap do you use? Have you tried going without it for a few days? I was hesitant to give up soap myself, but when I did, I saw quick improvement. Also, do you use distilled water? |
| MxPx 10-12-2002 10:23 PM | i use dove soap and no distilled water. But man i can't stand not washing my face. I did it for like 2 days. My face feels so greasy and dirty. but yea i'm going to get some of that rose water and just use that for the next 2 weeks and see if that helps |
| Wai 10-13-2002 02:56 PM | The soap can very well be the culprit. Another (small) possibility, is the Brazil nuts; some people react allergically to them, which can cause acne. since you eat egg yolks, the Brazil nuts are not essential. Can you try eating up to 5 egg yolks a day and no Brazil nuts? quote:You can wash it, but you should NOT use SOAP (any soap). You can use cucumber juice or rosewater to cleanse your face (and rinse with water). Really, they key to success with this diet is in the details... |
