Product Description
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… More >>

Wonderful book. It brings everything together for you so you can see the big picture.

I bought this book when it first came out. My issue with this book is that it is so jam-packed with studies that provide such confusing information. At different points in the book, every kind of food and calorie type is butchered. By the end, I am scared of every kind of food. He then gives dietary recommendations that includes nuts, dairy and breads after he shows studies that these cause acne. The dietary recommendations ends up being the exact same as every other diet book that doesn’t work and extremely low in calories. He criticizes dairy with a study than includes it in his recipes??? To me, the problem is that this author didn’t do any studies himself besides drinking tomato juice and is merely picking and choosing studies to include to support his argument. He provides a study at one point saying 1 hour of exercise a day lowered IGF-1 levels. Then there is another study saying excessive exercise actually worsens acne. Makes no sense to me! You can find studies to support any argument.. and there are very convenient plugs for a product called “Greens+” throughout the book.. the same company released a supplement alongside this book….
This book also seems to get ideas heavily from The Dietary Cure for Acne from Lauren Cordain and The Clear Skin Prescription from Dr Perricone that were released several years earlier. Those really are the only books you’ll need. Unfortunately I read them after this one so I could have saved money.

In the midst of claims that diet and acne are not related, this book explains the interconnections between what we eat and our health, and the specific factors that affect the health of our skin.
One of the very best tips in this book is for the Zeno device. It REALLY works, be preventing breakouts from turning into full eruptions. We were sceptical about the claims for the Zeno until we read about it in “The Clear Skin Diet.”

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.
