Maria had suffered from acne for a long time and tried countless treatments. But no doctor ever gave her advice on a dietary change.

Here’s what happened when she tried LCHF:

The Email

Hello,

I’m reading the success stories on your website and am getting inspired, and thought I’d share mine.

I have always had a lot of trouble with acne, and for someone approaching 40, this is not particularly amusing. Through the years I have seen doctors many times and tried a lot, everything from creams that made my entire face dry up terribly, to pills that would make me suicidal. Pretty crazy when the dermatologist asks you if you have a social network who can pick you up, should you suffer this side effect. Not much made any difference, and when it did, the acne returned after the treatment ended. I have asked the doctors many times if I there was anything I could do to improve my skin by changing what I eat. But they have always said that it doesn’t matter.

About a year ago I heard that LCHF could help, but that wasn’t something any of my doctors told me. So I have tried. Unfortunately, I slip back to my old diet from time to time. But when I stay with LCHF my acne basically heals completely. As soon as I have a relapse into my sugar addiction, my acne comes right back. So I have drawn the conclusion that low-carb is my solution. All I have to do now is to stick to it.

I have to say that I have never eaten so much good food and as varied as I do when I eat LCHF. The fact that I have lost more than 45 lbs. (20 kg) is more of a positive side effect to me.

Unfortunately I don’t have any pictures I want to share. I have never been fond of being in front of the camera. Perhaps this will change soon…
