It is very easy for me to eat like this, but my face is so red now, I have red spots everywhere. Before I had acne but at least it was confined to certain areas of my face. I break out all over the sides of my face and down my neck now, which is so weird because I never had acne on my neck.
It took me about 4-5 months to finally get cleared up.
What kind of improvements did you notice, if any at all?
Softer skin?
I've been traveling the last month, which could be part of the problem. I've relied heavily on Brazil nuts (shelled myself) and dried fruit. Most of the dried fruit was sun dried, but a few dates maybe weren't. And the water I drank was not low mineral.
The brazil nuts can cause acne because they aren't always really fresh.
Dried fruit can cause acne too if it isn't sun-dried, how sure are that the fruit was actually sun-dried?
So, now I'm back at home and I've stopped the nuts and dried fruit, and I'm back to Volvic. I'm contmeplating using a topical again, but I don't really want to. I'm just very desparate...and my skin looked better when I used the chemicals.
So you were eating brazil nuts for a month, that could cause spots for sure. You should stick to fruits and juices and yolks and fish and see what happens.
What did you diet consist of the first few months before the brazil nuts and dried fruit?
