I have been eating ONLY fruit, and have not been eating fat after all meals Wai recommends. I might eat raw (shelled by hand) nuts once a week or so, and eat avocados, coconuts somtimes too. I dont want to mix foods, because i heard that it could lead to compomise my digestion. Wai says that not balencing out the sugars from fruit can definatly cause acne, but should i really have it this bad if i only eat raw fruit??? I feel like their are deep canals of sebum under my skin, and black heads all over. This is why i think my acne could be hormonal. And i've been a strict fruitarian for months. Ive tried to eat nuts after meals, but i thought it might be bad for my teeth. My main question is this:

Could it be that because I dont balence me sugars with fats that makes my acne THIS bad? I would think that not consuming ANY cooked foods, dairy, grains, root vegitables whatsoever would at least result in some positive results, even though i dont eat fat after all meals. Because my acne is this bad (even when i eat like i do) that makes me think my acne is hormonal.

before drawing any conclusions, you better make sure you are doing everything right first...
Why don't you first try to do the diet right by consuming sufficient fat with every meal; you may be susceptible to too much fluctuating blood sugar levels, which can cause very bad acne in some

no it is not
but if you don't want to eat nuts, why don't you consume olive oil?

that is absolutely possible

not necessarily
we are dealing with water retention here, and with this, any interruption can have devastating effects
it is as with a scale; if it is not balanced, it will lean over to one side. How much it will lean over to one side, is not at all linearly related to the severity of the inbalance; the scale will totally lean over to one side anyway
this also goes for the 'water-balance' in our skin

if your blood sugar levels are less strictly regulated, not consuming fat with every meal may cause all your acne...
