Day 14 on Optifast and my face is broken out like it has never been since highschool!  Is this Optifast and all it's glorious side effects or just a coincidence?  Looks terrible!

Well, that's just rude, isnt it? I wonder if it could be related to the hormone fluctuations that are seen with rapid weight loss?

And it probably looks worse to you than it does to the rest of us!

I've had a few more pimples than usual and I'm only on day 8, so not sure if it will get worse.  I figured that my body is kind of detoxing from all the crap that I was eating and I know that the skin out breaks is a sign of your body purging impurities....so maybe its a good thing!?

I noticed the same thing Melissa and thought it was just my imagination.

It is the toxins that are being released making their way out of your body.  or at least trying too!!

My biggest pimple came post surgery.  It was very deep and not at the surface (other than for the lump that it was).  LOL

Just thank God that your body is doing what it is supposed to be doing.

You're beginning to burn off a lot of fat and everything that is stored in it.

There's a lot of crap there and your liver (which in essence, filters your blood) is now also working overtime attempting to process all that crap.

Plus your body's hormones are now working overtime as you're beginning to put it through a lot of work.

If we meet in person ask me about my experience with my body releasing a certain recreational chemical I used to use...
