So, since I have been losing all this weight and not eating sugar or anything, I have stopped getting so much acne. Like especially back acne. You have no idea how exciting this is for me. I have two gorgeous tatoos on my back that I love to show off and that acne thing wasn't cutting it. I also wasn't going in for massages b/c I was embarrassed. 

Maybe there is something to that sugar/acne study :)

dont know about sugar side affects but I do know our hormone levels change with weight loss, so I would imagine that could be the cause.

It is a fact that people that live in countires where there is NO refined sugar products .. When they eat only "real" foods ..thereis NO acne..

Yay! I've noticed the same thing on my face, but still have a bunch of whitehead on my arms Oh well, hopefully with time they will go away too
One interesting thing I found is that when I spend a lot of time in the ocean, all my acne goes away too. I'm hoping that with my new diet, and hopefully spending a lot of time in the ocean this summer I will be relatively acne free!

I had the same joy! I ocasionally will have one spot every now and then - but I used to be on acne meds and all that jazz.
Woo!

I have always seen a difference when I eat less sugar and drink more water, on other diets, I have the same result. So glad you are seeing such positive changes!! Good for you!
