I LOVE this "diet!!" question bout pimples and fat

[Laurenad]

I restarted induction a few days ago..i did it once befor for like 2 weeks and i lost like 5 pnds. It'd day 3 and i lost 6 already! Anyway, last time I did atkins, i broke out into pimples and then they cleared up. Now, I have pimples.. I hope they will clear up. However, this time I dont have my parents naggin me so i add a lot of salad dressing like 4 tbsp for the day. look here

is this causing me to break out? My ratios are 65 30 and 5 fat protein to carbs and its around 1100-1200 so do u think this fat is causing pimps or should i wait?

It's funny that you should mention that, I have zits for the first time since I was in high school. I asked my doctor about it, and she said it probably had something to do with hormonal changes due to weight loss.

I broke out too the first week or so, but since then my skin is looking really good. I think the fat helps the skin look healthy but the diet change is probably what triggers them. Drinks lots of water, and I'm betting you'll be clear skinned in no time

Your percentages look very good but you didn't say how much you had to lose. Are you sure 1,100-1,200 calories are enough? You don't wnat to put yourself in starvation mode.

Hi Lauren, :wave

Are you drinking at least 64 ounces of water a day? that's the best therapy for your skin on the planet - usually one way to tell a person is an Atkins devotee is the lost weight and beautiful skin.

It might be a reaction to all the changes in you're body...if it doesn't clear up as it did last time, stop in and see your dermatologist.

Hmmm. That's weird. When I cut out all sugar\flour\caffeine I get really really clear skin (not to mention my hair gets really thick, my nails get strong and grow fast, and my teeth stay really clean.) Maybe it's just a hormonal fluctuation?? If it doesn't clear up, I'd see a doctor. I've found that this WOE really clears up my skin.

Are you saying you eat breakfast and dinner and just have 64 ounces of water for lunch?

[Laurenad]
