hey TilltheEnd of time, i'm convinced from the research i've done that it's a hormonal imbalance due to a poorly functioning liver. Genetic definately.
I've read so much on this and tried everything diet wise. I got a diet that works but its so hard to follow that i got sick of it. Costs me more money, too much work and time spent on preparing food in my opinion. But this is a diet i tried once, lemme know if urs is similar.
No saturated fats (no butter,margarine, cheese, ice cream,whole milk,)
Nothing fried period.
No sweets, only fruit
Lay off very salty foods like soups.
Limit white bread, pasta, and rice. (I wasn't that strict on this)
I used this diet for like 5 or 6 months a few yrs ago, and i was almost clear. Still had some acne, but very minor. But then little by little i'd slip and have an ice cream, or one fast food meal, or one slice of pizza, and then id breakout alot. So i gave up. I canned the diet. but it def worked. If u have the willpower i swear it worked for me. I'll look for urs on the fitness board, whenever u put it on. Thanks
I feel where you are coming from. I took accutane as well. It is dangerous stuff and I had to stop taking it for health reasons.
The only solution I have found is through diet. However, you also need a topical solution...at least temporarily.
I am going to post what I found worked for me in the health and fitness forum....with evidence backing up my theory. Check for it there later. I am just delaying it for now because I want to wait longer just to make sure what I am doing is working 100%. I don't want to give advice that I do not feel ABSOLUTELY confident about....but for now it is working great for me.[/QUOTE]
