Today is my 12th day doing Atkins. I ahve noticed that since I started, my face have broken out with zits! What is happening? I used to only have occasional pimples (like one in two months) Now I have got 5 on my face!!!!!

HELP me! Has anyone experienced this before?

Could it be all the saturated fat, meat protein and dairy (i.e. cheese and cream) that are causing it?

Gos, now I not only have a weight problem but a skin problem as well. I am so down.... This is totally unexpected..

Peko, your body is adjusting hormonally as well as reducing. To counteract this, you must drink plenty of water. The water will flush your system of toxins, I can honestly say that the breakouts only last a few weeks and then you will have wonderful skin!

Thanks Pooky! That is very reassuring! My self-esteem is below zero now but I think I will take your words for it! Thank so much!!

Did you breakout as well?

When I've lost weight (WW not low carb) I have had trouble with breakouts too. It comes and goes but is definitely the body releasing/flushing toxins, not your current food choices.

Hang in there!

Yes I did have acne and still do when I fall off the program. I don't have acne now but nice soft skin as the water flushes everything out!
