Expanding Upon the Acne/Diet Link

Cultivating an acne diet takes some worthwhile work. Some dieticians or physicians may simply prescribe an anti-inflammatory diet under the assumption that removing inflammation-causing foods will reduce the presence of acne.

This is a good working theory, but digestion is a complicated process and unique to each individual. There are some simple key points to remember about acne and digestion that include:

Eat too much and you will tax the liver, which can lead to acne.

Eat foods that your body can tolerate well (we’ll cover how to find these foods in a later chapter).

Make certain that you consume enough protein and that you are digesting it well, else, excess protein may cause an inflammatory reaction in the skin

If you each sugars or carbohydrates, balance them with proper amounts of protein. Otherwise you can cause a drop blood sugar that promotes a chain of hormonal reactions similar to those that trigger acne formations.
