sugars cause acne?

Posted by DannieBananana on April 13, 2013 at 12:48pm

Hi i'm new to this lifestyle, and pretty much know just about everything there is about detoxifying, that you can break out pretty bad for an amount of time (i personally have it on my face, neck, back, shest, and shoulders).  I heard somewhere that certain fruits can cause acne though?  Some say the higher the sugar it does, some say the acidity in fruit does.  Its a whole bunch of confusing, and I'm breaking out like crazy already and I'm maybe a week in?  they are almost everywhere.  Can someone please help me and answer my questions?  That would be fantastic thank you

    OK thank you for your advice and insight. I will try my best to destress myself and get as much sleep as I can and see if there's an improvement. Thank you!

    None of the "professionals" know what causes acne. If they did, there would be a "cure" for it. Listen to your body and pay attention. I break out when I don't sleep enough, when i'm stressed, and when I don't drink enough water. 2 years ago I went to a dermatologist and she told me that it could be caused by hormones, diet, stress, new makeup, et cetera. The creams she gave me did not help and made my face burn. Not good.
    Now I try to sleep more and de-stress my life.
    My dad still gets acne, and he's in his 60s, so I think it is different for every person.

    When I first started the diet it happened to me as well, I think it's because all of the toxins in your body are pouring out through your pores. For me it started clearing up after the third week.
