The Clear Skin Diet
While acne has long been a problem for adolescents, in recent decades–the last fifty years specifically–acne has been on the rise among adults as well, particularly among women. Many scientists have traced this upsurge to changes in the dietary habits of North Americans. The Clear Skin Diet is designed to help those who suffer from acne to understand what it is, why they have it, what it has to do with their eating habits, and what they can do to prevent it or lessen its impact.
The Clear Skin Diet introduces the acne diet and lifestyle. Dietary requirements for protecting the skin are also listed–along with suggested food supplements when they cannot be easily met–and summarized, as well as mind-body medical interventions that can influence acne hormones and lessen their impact.
Most interesting are the 50 acne-preventive recipes that are provided, along with information on how one can locate the ingredients that are no readily available in most grocery stores.

5 Stars Truth, at last!
From a woman who has had adult acne for over 30 years…bravo! This book contains the remedy…and it’s in our hands as they go from our plates to our mouths!
I tried everything to cure this pesky ailment, except accutane. I had always noticed dietary influences, but everytime I tried to talk with a doctor about diet and nutrition they acted like I was insane. This book provides the real deal truth and science about all the influences that create this dibilitating condition.
Since applying the information in this book, my condition has been reduced by 95%…this is manageable! Many thanks to the authors!
5 Stars Very solid book.
This book provides extremely useful scientific based knowledge regarding general health and specifically skin health as it relates to nutrition. Many references are provided and no “too good to be true” gimmicks are thrown at you. Very refreshing in a time where many books are linked to a money grab of some sort, or false information. I am not completely done the book yet but have already gained much useful information.
5 Stars Changed my life!
I’ve never written a review, but I feel I must because this book was amazing! I’m a 29 yr old woman who’s always had acne but it was getting worse, esp around that time of the month. I’ve tried every product and nothing worked except for birth control, so I knew it was hormonal. I decided to try natural holistic path. So I started accupuncture for hormones and bought this book. Coincidentally my accupuncturist gave me many of the same food recommendations in this book, cut sugar and dairy, limit carbs and red meat. Focus on fiber, whole grains, fish,healthy oils and lean meat. I always believed what you eat doesn’t affect acne, but IT DOES! After 3 months I noticed a big improvement in my skin and I believe it was the acupuncture AND diet. Now 6mo. later I’m the clearest I’ve been in a long time. I’ve cut down on acupuncture and am hoping to wean off completely. I am sticking to the diet though because it works. It goes into depth on how everything you eat can affect your acne. And the information backed up by proven studies. It’s gets scientific, but it’s broken down so you can understand. It’s honestly one of the most powerful books I’ve read.
5 Stars I was Impressed
Wow! This book throws a lot of data, facts, and clinical trials at you. Some may say it is disorganized. However the feeling I had coming out of reading the book was an unwavering faith in how diet is related to Acne that I previously only suspected. And with that - a new-found conversion, no-TOTAL COMMITMENT to change myself 180 degrees and to beat the pharma and cosmetic industry that feeds off this illness. A strong commitment needs a strong conversion as the seed and this book is the catalyst. Wish I found this sooner. 5 Stars and bravo!
5 Stars People who suffer from adult acne should buy this book!
I’m in my late 20s and have tried so many beauty products with no success. I always thought my acne was caused by stress but now I realize it was also my poor diet. I’ve been taking the vitamins and eating the foods recommended by the authors for a couple of weeks and I can definetely see the improvement in my skin.
