My skin looks funny...

[Mail4Tammy]

and i am worried about it. Before atkins, it looked okay. Now, it looks leatherly and i am not sure if it is because i am not taking my vitamens or if it is because i am not drinking enough water or it might be both. Of course my husbands says, just put some lotion on, you worry about everything. While i have always believed that our skins tells a lot about your heatlh. Has anyone else noticed this and what did you do about it. Do you think that essential fatty acids would help? Thanks TS

Are you drinking ALL your water?? My skin before was dry...you could even see it on my arms...now it is not..even the cracks on my heels are healing. I drink MINIMUM 12 cups a day..and most days it is 16 cups. Does your skin look leathery like because you are dropping the weight and the skin is looser??

I think you might have hit it on the head.
As far as I know both those omissions might be the cause. So you know what to do
Like Elsie the hard skin on my feet is much improved now since before Atkins.

You really need vitamins and a lot of water on this diet. Your skin tells a lot about your health. If after a few weeks of adding water and vitamins to your diet and it still looks the same, consult your MD and see if he can reccomend any other nutrients/vitamins to help.

I agree with the others, although my skin looked 100x better after I started atkins when compared to before. I admit to not drinking all of my water and I dont take vitamins and it still looked better, but to each their own right? But I agree with the others. Try drinking all your fluids and doing the vitamins and you should see improvement!
