Cystic acne is caused by hormonal imbalances and toxicity in our body and it can start with an irritated stomach lining.   Eating excess carbs can lead to all those conditions, and your skin can be in better condition on low carb than ever before.

Another thing that can cause breakouts is excessive cardio exercise that leaves your body acidic.   That happens when you workout at high intensity and the lactic acid builds up in your body to toxic levels.   Depending on the strength of your lymphatic and endocrine systems, this toxicity can take many days to clear out.   Antioxidants like Vitamin C can help getting rid of cystic acne, but it is best to workout at lower intensities most of the time.

Cystic acne often acts as a catalyst in this disorder from what I have seen and read about it.   Just like anorexia is often triggered by an individual being initially overweight, BDD is triggered by things like acne (or also common is a large nose).   It causes a lot of emotional stress and this is very unfortunate that it is this way.

Many people are desperate to make a change and will try any ‘magic-bullet’ weight loss cure that is offered – still the obesity rates climb. What are the reasons behind this trend? The stress of our lifestyles, toxicity in the environment, unhealthy processed food, improper nutrition habits, and lives spent in our cars, small offices and houses with little or no time in fresh air. Our lifestyles seem designed to make us fat. People desperate for weight loss will try any diet, take any pill, and even resort to surgery to try and get their weight under control, but if they don’t deal with the underlying issues that lead to obesity in the first place they are bound to regain the weight leading to an ever increasing waistline. There is no ‘magic-bullet’ to take away obesity. In order to counter the effects of our unhealthy lifestyles it is necessary to deal with the underlying issues that are causing the obesity in the first place. We can learn from the lifestyles of ancient cultures where the diet is predominantly fruits, grains and vegetables and where fasting or nutritional cleansing is an accepted practice.

Don’t overuse either form, as this could cause dry and irritated skin.
