Does anyone notice that their skin has turned yellow? My mother noticed that around my mouth, the palms of my hands, the bottoms of my feet, and around my armpits, there is a yellowish shade to my skin. I agree with her, but I don't think much of it.
Has this happened to anyone?

I guess that it is actually due to beta-carotene, your body will adjust the absorption rate eventually (which is individually different), and your body will regain its normal colour.
(unless your skin is exposed to the sun quite a bit; the yellow / brown pigmentation is protective)
How long have you been on this diet rischott and huntress?
Does your version of this diet contain a lot of beta-carotene?

i've been on the diet for about 5 months now, although not 100% since I have no issues with acne or cellulite. I've been a vegetarian for over a year as well. I consumed about 1 to 11/2 liters of mandarins while in Korea, but now i am back in the states and have switched to Navel. I eat 4 to 8 bananas a day, sometimes apples and pears. So, i dont' think i consume more betacarotene than the rest of the group.

I've been 100% for 4 months. I don't consume carrots or any green leafy vegetables. Mainly fruits and egg yolks.
I've been thinking that since I have olive skin, the slight colour change makes me look even more yellower? I used to consume about 10-15 mandarins everyday but that was 4 months ago.

Maybe it's time to have a talk with the stage lighting engineer.
I was a photographer at the Vienne jazz festival last summer, and the lighting was so terrible that the photos were sometimes unusable. We're living in a techno/hip-hop generation where young people think that it's hip to project blue spotlights on a world-class artist for the entire concert. BB King was purple or yellow for the entire concert. What can you say?!

wild salmon (and flamingos) are that colour because of the antioxidant axanstanthin which I still can't sbell, which they get from their diet.
farmed salmon aren't fed their natural diet, so they have to be fed colourants....which should, theoretically be able to affect you, but you'd have to eat a lot. people don't eat enough salmon on the Wai diet.
I'd think it was the mandarins. *nods* Not for any scientific reason but because you'd expect people to turn yellow eating lots of mandarins. *nods*
