Another positive "side effect"

November 11, 2009, 11:33 AM

I have suffered from eczema for a few years now. I use to have 3 spots (2 on my hands and 1 on my foot) that would erupt and itch and itch and itch. My doctor prescribed cortisone cream to help with the itching, but it was not a cure of course.

Since I'm on Atkins, I'm eczema free, completely! So it was something in my diet that was causing this.

One more positive point for this way of eating!

It's cool when we notice health benefits other than weight loss. Congratulations!

Congrats! I bet that feels great!

My skin has improved quite a lot too - my acne is GONE (which is kinda nice at my age!!!)
