So I have had acne since I was about 13 years and now I am 20. I really want an end to it now. I have been going to facials, and besides using the skincare products the facial doctor also told me to stop consuming diary products. When I did so my skin looked slightly better, but the acne did not go away anyway.
But that made me search the two words "Acne" and "diet" on google, and that was how I stumbled upon the Sample Diet.
I read it all through, and the more I read the greater it sounded to me! Not only that the acne will disappear, but also that the body will actually regain its natural functions, and work the way it is supposed to!
After that I read that I started the diet, cold turkey, right away. (Even though it was 3.00 am...

To begin with my acne was mild/moderate, but I had a lot of "vulcano-shaped" pores. The worst areas of my face are my forehead and my right cheek (the left one is much better for som reason)
Now they all have started to become small whiteheads, and I also have got a few ones that grow under the skin. I really don't hope that all of them have to break out before I will finally be clear. That will take a really long time won't it? My goal is an entirely clear and nice skin.
I have used some mineral powder make up on my skin. Does that make the process go slower? I am just still to embaressed to go outside without it...
I have also lost 2 kg. Is that the excessive water maybe?
I have really strong cravings, mostly I crave things like ham, meatballs, smoked fish etc. I want it so much!!! But I haven't touched anything...
Yesterday I made muffins because we had guests, but I didn't eat any myself.
Now I think I can imagine what it feels like to quit smoking....
But except for the cravings mosty I feel really good. I wake up earlier, and my stomach feels good too. (Before I often had problems with constipation and gases). Although I still am a little gassy. hmm...
And sometimes (quite often actually) when I sit down for a while and then stand up I feel like I will faint. I can't see straight because everything almost turns black and I feel very dizzy. (But just for some seconds) I guess I am just not eating enough..?
I have a question regarding the low-mineral water. I live in Stockholm, and I couldn't find any of the waters that were listed in the book (Volvic, Montcalm etc.), but I did find a Norwegian one that is called "Imsdal". Here is what it contains:
mg/L
Calcium/Ca - 9,9
Sodium/Na - 0,9
Potassium/K - 0,5
Magnesium/Mg - 0,4
Bicarbonate/HCO3 - 31,2
Sulfat/SO4 - 2,9
Chloride/Cl - 0,6
Silisium/SiO2 - 7,0
pH: 7,5
Is this a low-mineral water?
And I also wanted to post what I ate today.
1 banana + extra virgin coconut oil
½ avocado with chives and extra virgin olive oil
juice made of 2 tangerines and one orange with olive oil
2 french white peaches (peeled) + coconut oil
2 apples (peeled) + coconut oil
1 banana and 50 g pineapple
About 4 (?) tablespoons of raisins with maybe 3-4 walnuts (that I shelled myself)
And I also drank some of the Imsdal water and I thought I will have some more orange juice with an egg yolk (still getting used to them).
So what do you think so far?

I am really grateful that I found the Wai site by the way, it's just a pity that more people don't read it and find out about how they are fooled every day by the food industry. I told my mother and my brothers about this, and at least my mother said that she wants to eat Wai too. (She wants to loose weight and cellulite, but she still drinks tea, eats preserved olives with feta cheese and raw cabbage)
