Weird question

[NettyG]

I have kind of a weird question for any Atkins veterans out there. I have been doing Atkins for 23 days now. In the past 2 weeks, I have broken out on my face (specifically on my cheeks). I feel like I am 13 again! I have never had any real problems with acne, and don't understand!

Is there any incidence of breakouts being triggered by Atkins? I can't see how, but was curious.

If it helps, I am a 30 year old mother of 3, and have not had any other changes in my life lately (except I quit smoking 2 months ago).

Thanks in advance!!

On this WOE my face has actually cleared up! No new makeup, moisturizer, soap, cleansers, laundry detergent etc?

I know from a long problem with acne, that when you take something to clear it up, the breakout will get worse before it gets better - becuase your pores are detoxing and getting rid of the bacteria/clogs. Could be that.

Hi! :wave:

I have to agree with Talon here. I never had bad acne (except for one specific birth control pill that made my whole body go berzerk :mad: ) but I did find that as opposed to the odd blemish here or there, for the first few weeks it was as though my body completely detoxed and flushed out all the toxins. I had tiny little clogged pores all over my face, but it went away and now it's clearer than ever. :D

Hang in there...things should start to clear up soon...drink lots of water and follow a good skin care routine and you should be ok.

Take care,
