26 days off accutane, the pimples are comming back :(

[waipete]

Yes, for oranges that's not a good idea. You don't need an extractor for oranges you need a citrus press, a juice press. One where you cut the oranges in halves and squeeze them on a cone.. if u can find an electric that's the best.
I'd take it back, because I think the small blades are like a mixer, and as far as I understand that's not so good? Or?

Yeah I'm looking to order online now hmmm...http://www.amazon.ca/Strauss-Stainless- ... 68&sr=8-44

DAY 3 1 big pimple came + 2 smaller ones, felt very discouraged but still kept on. Been having dreams about eating munchfoods without knowing what I was doing then later thinking "nooooo what have I done?" very similar to the dreams I had when I first stopped drinking, dreaming I was having a drink. I know these dreams will go away.

DAY 4 pimples were gone I felt good all day, ate well enough, switched from superstore noname loblaw inc 100% extra virgin olive oil to superstores President's choice loblaw extra vigin olive oil cold pressed. I liked the taste of the old stuff although it left a tingly sore throat feeling for about 10 seconds, the new stuff taste worse and has that same feeling, but I switched because I think maybe the old stuff was not the right kind, as it was only 4.50$ for 750ml and this one is 9$ for 1000ml, some of the more expensive brand names were about 15$-19$ per 1000ml .

DAY 5 (today) Woke up with pimples like 5 of them, all medium to small though. A bit discouraged but I'm hoping this new oil will bring me closer to 100% wai + now I'm going to start using demineralized water on my face instead of the shower filters water just to be sure I'm doing this right. Had another food dream felt bad when I woke up but was relieved when I realized it was only just a dream .

[waipete]

Also last night I lathered the oil all over my face, the stuff made me itchy a little.. I wonder could this have caused a breakout, the oil doesn't say cold pressed so I'm suspicious, I didn't even need the oil on my face I just did it for smoothness in the morning but I really don't care if my skin is smooth as long as it's not flaking off with dry skin I'm fine.

here is their claim on the product.

Is the oil even necessary for my face? The dryness state my skin is in is the accutane dry effect seems to almost be over just a few dryspots on my face, the beard area mostly.

I fear it not being cold pressed might be wrong.

No extra virgin should mean it is cold pressed. It sounds alright. So, apart from itchiness, did you feel that the skin was smoother the next day? And just use the oil on your dry spots if you don't want it everywhere. It is up to you. It is said to helps some with acne as well. But that might be individual.
It is also great to eat.
But I would give it a try a few days on the skin if you're dry, and if your itchiness doesn't persist or become worse.

Thanks for the reply, it's good to know puts me at ease. The itching I think I was overreacting as I was just as itchy as I normally am.

Woke up and went to use the washroom, had some mild diarrhea, stool was the same light brown color. I forgot to mention that I have been gassier the usual since i started the diet, I'm usually a gassy person, but this diet makes me pass gas constantly, no stomach pains though.

[RRM]

To diminish gas: replace whole fruits with (sieved) juices,
and no fruits after egg yolks / fish (but the other way around).

Thanks for moving the topic as I felt it belonged here too I have been eating egg yolks in my last meal of the day. Gotta get quick on ordering a hand juicer.

DAY6 few pimples came and gone. Skin on body felt dry and scaly for some reason.

thats good.

Skin on body felt dry and scaly for some reason.

Yes, the reason is that now your skin is adapting to the decreased need for sebum,
and often the body overcompensates until it gets it right.
Just a matter of time.
In the meantime, apply oil to the skin to protect it against dehydration / dryness.

[waipete]

DAY 6 forgot to mention I got diarrhea again!
DAY 7 no more diarrhea
DAY8-10 few smaller/medium pimples come in go day in out dryness on dry patches on my the sides of my belly go rough n soft like RPM said.

Still waiting on juicer to be delivered. salmon tonight!

Not sure if this is related but my sternum bone used to easily crack after injuring it doing a stretch that was about 3 months ago, a lot of pain for the first month, I can't even crack it if I tried. I searched online and was astonished at how many people had this problem, even for years, and no one had any solutions. The reason being it's almost impossible for a chest injury to fully heal because we use it everyday. Does this diet also help speedily heal muscle injuries also?

I dont think so.

BTW: could you please list everything that you eat on a normal day?

I try to eat about 12 fruit a day (sometimes I eat less about 8 due to work! but im working on it) mostly medium oranges, medium apples w/o skin, medium bananas, each fruit with 1 10ml teaspoon of OO. eat half a tomato w/o skin and a half/full cucumber w/o skin with 2 teaspoons of OO and 3 eggs yolks b4 bed.


This morning i woke up broke out pretty bad about 7 medium sized pimples, 5 around my mustache area and one on the chin and near the side of my nose. The only thing I ate I could think of was about 60g of raw salmon b4 bed instead of 3 egg yolks. The fish is from the supermarket, Fresh Atlantic Salmon, I had eaten this before about 9 days prior, the fish smelt fresh (odorless).

[waipete]

amazingly the 4 of the 7 pimples vanished with 30 minutes of noticing them after I woke up, without even touching my face! I got the juicer today, tested it out and it took about 3 1/2 oranges for a cup (250ml) so It would probably take about 10 oranges to make 700ml + 50ml of OO + sugar (that enough for my 8 and a half hour shift?), cucumber and tomato+ 10ml of OO eat yolk/fish after work, 2 fruit (apple orange or banana) + 10ml of OO before work.

Right before bed?
Its better to eat the fish / yolks a few hours prior to going to bed.

Yes, thats typical for eating raw protein right before going to bed (if thats what you did).

It would probably take about 10 oranges to make 700ml + 50ml of OO + sugar (that enough for my 8 and a half hour shift?)

That depends on how much sugar you add, and how much active you are.
do you know how much energy did you use on average, before this diet?
Please submit all the food that you eat on an average day to the nutrient calculator,
so that you know how much calories it provides you with.

I ate then I laid down watching a movie, fell asleep after it was over it was 1hour 32 minutes long, fell asleep within 10 minutes.

If you scroll down you will find values for grown men..
Then you'll get a better idea
