| JessWolfe 04-27-2003 01:52 AM | Does anyone have any experience with fasting first? I have been ill with some sort of rash lately and I have tried changing every thing that touches my skin..detergent, soap etc. and nothign works so i figure its the fact that my diet is about all sugar and carbs! I want to fast first to get rid of all of the toxins but dont want my complexion to get any worse...any thoughts? Thanks!!! Jess ![[Smile]](../smile.gif) |

'All' fasting does, is preventing the intake of new toxins (but also of esential nutrients), while this can also be achieved by not consuming foods that contain these toxins (cooked foods, unnatural foods, unripe fruits). Also, fasting can cause acne because it causes the breakdown of muscle protein into lots of smaller protein molecules for conversion into available energy, and these smaller proteins attract more water, which may cause the pinching off of sebum canals. If you follow the 100% strict sample diet, you will be eliminating toxins automatically. (by preventing the uptake of new toxins) Here's a thread about detoxification: link quote:So, what is the culprit, in your view? The toxins, or the carbs / sugars? If you believe that sugars are the culprit, you would need to go on a high protein and fat diet for a while; by consuming lots of fresh raw animal food, nuts and oil for example. |
