I have been getting some small skin eruptions on my torso over the last three weeks. It may or may not be related to the fact that about this time I started taking Chromium Picolate and L-Carnitine. Has anyone else on Atkins had this problem?

I've had 2 problems with my skin...the first was simple breakout, I think caused by detoxifying from carbs. It cleared within the first 2 weeks. The second was an allergic reaction to a supplement (fish oil).

I wouldn't think it was the plan, if you've been on it for more than a few weeks, but it is possible!

I'd suggest you stop the supllement you think might be the cause. It should clear up, or at least stop getting worse, within a day or two. If the problem persisits all you'll know is that it's not that supplement. It could also be something new you're eating? Or new detergent, soap, etc?

And it could also be detoxing....some people have withdrawal symptoms longer than others.

Good luck!
