As you may already know, I have been on Wai for about half a year now. About a month or two ago, I made the switch from a whole-fruit diet to one of OJ, oil, sugar, fish and avocado (with the emphasis on the OJ). Acne never fully went away, but there have been times when my skin was great. It is amazing what clear(er) skin does for confidence! Anyways, for the last few weeks (2 or so) it has been getting pretty bad. I mean, I have never gotten rid of the 'sandy bumps' on the forehead and such, but this is just out of control. Each morning I may have 2-3 new whiteheads and/or large red bumps on my face, on the chin, jawline, forehead, nose area etc. But that is not the worst part: my shoulders are amazingly bad. It's like the area from the top to the back of the shoulders are like those 'cottage-cheese' or 'popcorn' ceilings in old houses. Literally dozens and dozens of red bumps, even several whiteheads that come and go randomly. And it is getting worse, it has spread down to the back and neck, even legs and arms! Not that bad on arms/legs, but I have never ever had them there before.
Now, I'll try to anaylze anything that may have contributed to this.
1) I have been eating tuna everyday for the last month or so
2) Making about 10-14 cups of OJ, with 1 Tblsp oil and sugar for each cup.
3) Noticed my 'movements,' although regular (1-2x daily), smell bad.
4) I have been dealing with stress daily, but nothing too out of the ordinary compared to the past.
5) Occasionally I may be preoccupied and may go without OJ sips for about 30, sometimes 60 minutes a couple times a week. I don't see how this would affect anything like this though.
6) I only have about .5 a Fl avocado a day, and .2-.3 lbs of tuna a night. Not too much protein or fiber, right?
Let me know if you have any ideas or advice, as it is terrible to live near the beach but not want to take off my shirt.
, so that they can cause you to retain more water when you have been stocking up on protein. Thats why it takes a few days before thats eliminated.
