| Melissa2683 01-28-2003 03:17 PM | hi, i have been on wai's diet for 2 weeks now and i am beginning to get a bit discouraged. 2 years ago i was on accutane which completely cleared up my skin. however, just a few months ago my skin started breaking out again. i really want to avoid going on accutane again b/c it completely dries out your skin, thins your hair etc and puts you through 6 months of hell ![[Frown]](../frown.gif) , anyway after being on the diet for 2 weeks i have noticed that my skin is much smoother and softer, and SOME of my acne has cleared up, but i am still breaking out in places, mainly around my jawline and a few on my cheeks.this is what i have been eating, maybe you can tell me where i could be going wrong, and if there is any possibility that my acne could be hormonal: throughout the day lots of fruit (mainly grapes, mellons, banannas, apples, citrus fruits etc) always followed by RAW in the shell brazil nuts, occasionally i will eat a few almonds also, i also eat lots of tomato/cucumber/avacado salad covered in extra virgin olive oil, the only thing is i always add balsamic vinagar to it, and sometimes add lettuce, carrots, and raw mushrooms, and occassionally add cauliflower or broccli i try to have a few egg yolks through out the week, about 2 every 2 or 3 days and i have hot water w/ honey in the morning b/c wai recommended that that is the only hot beverage that comes close to coffee or tea that you can consume i also drink distilled water and wash my face using just distilled water do you see where i can be going wrong? ![[Confused]](../confused.gif) i also have 1 other question. i have noticed that my acne seems to worsen after i get out of the shower, do you think that any of the chemicals in the water could be causing the acne? i try to let as little water hit my face as possible when taking a shower, but its really hard, any advice or suggestions on this? thanks a lot! hope you can help ~melissa~ |
