  1. Eliminate: food that contains lots of sugar, cakes, sweets and ice cream. The worst are baked goods like cookies and white flour, white bread and other sweets.
  2. Eliminate sugary drinks, cola and fruit juices. You should switch to drinking water, herbal teas and drinks with artificial sweeteners.
  3. Eliminate eating nuts. Nuts contain a large amount of fat in addition to large amount of salt.
  4. Eliminate eating food that contains Iodine (Sushi, Seaweed salad.).
  5. Eliminate as much as possible cow milk. Most of the cows that give us milk are pregnant during milking. The milk of these cows contains a large amount of progesterone like hormones. These hormones have a Dihydroxy testosterone (DHT) activity that makes acne worse.
