Paleo Diet for Acne
Success stories and experiences on how the Paleo Diet has helped with Acne.
The paleo diet is the cheapest and healthiest solution to keep my skin clear forever! I've always had issues with my skin, and to think that it was what I was eating all this time--- I just can't believe it!
Ever since discovering the eye-opening paleo diet, my normally tough case of acne is virtually gone. I don't need my antibiotics anymore. Highly recommended!
My acne seems to be doing better on this diet. On most days it's pretty much clear, but once in a while some will still pop up. I think maybe on those days maybe I have been eating too much fat. BUT: if I drink alcohol or eat lots of sugar, they definitely make the acne worse!
On the whole, I'm much happier with my skin condition on this diet than before.
