What foods don't cause acne??

I recommend a good bowl of meusli and a glass of water

Although acne is hereditary, food, stress, hormones and dead skin can cause it too!
Sheesh get a pamflet!
Stupid uneducated fool!

LOL. Hot Pockets and Cereal? Lucky you.

I personally do not eat any grains. I found that a person of my stature requires a lot of carbs to maintain energy - and without grains the options are few and far between. Vegetables just don't add up. You can eat 10 pounRAB of veggies before you hit my requirement for the day.

Solution: I eat 2-3 beauregard yams per day. It's a tuber, and in my opinion the most underrated food available to us. The other sources of carbs for me is the acorn squash and apple, but that's it.

wheat and barley make me look like ***. and that includes beer.

also-that list is a GUIDELINE> if your acne happens to be the kind that is not sensitve to wheat-u can probably consume whole grain breaRAB that dont have a lot sugar without too much problem as long as you are not slathering jelly or something bad on them. you have to figure out what works for YOU> you may not be as sensitive to some carbs as others. we are all unique individuals.

With a proper diet you can BALANCE these hormones (see low-glycemic diet, and Dr. Loren Cordain's article on the positive effects the diet can have on acne)

What foods don't cause acne??

Most people simply aren't comfortable resigning themselves to the biological inevitability of acne - even if it is possible to influence hormone behaviour via diet, there is still nothing in the way of a cure; one has to discover suitable individual strategies for containment without clinging to the futile expectation of spotaneous success. That kind of approach is only going to result in frustration and despair. As I've argued elsewhere, making vast changes to your diet will likely be no more effective in treating acne in most people than it would be in preventing any other genetic predisposition (like male pattern baldness). And for all those who rally around the dietary hypothesis, there are surely just as many people who have tried and failed where you have enjoyed some modicum of success.

What foods don't cause acne??

I've read that dairy and eggs are bad because of hormones and stuff. If this is true than why would yogurt be ok to eat?

What foods don't cause acne??

Sweetjade,

the building blocks of the human body consist of:

Fats

Proteins

Carbohyrdates

That ANY of these ( in excess will cause problems, and usually it causes an increase in fat and/or hormone production.

So, if we ate a PERFECTLY balanced diet , then we should clear up? I know you say refined carbs are the main offenders, but I am surprised fats and proteins can increase IFG1 - or whatever it is!! But then I know people who went on atkins and totally cleared up and they ate dairy too, so maybe it is really just a question of cutting out refined carbs. I know I have done the latter and it is helping a lot, but I am still eating red meat etc and I was not aware this could increase hormone activity. Oh well, you can but try.

but he is right about the fruit juice thing-diabetics cant drink alot of fruit juice, nor can they eat alot of fruits high in natural sugars like grapes.......they can cause blood sugar swings. even fruit juices that are sweetened with white grape juice instead of corn syrup or regular sugar can do this/
