The Complete Acne Health & Diet Guide  {Book Review}

I was under the impression that acne was a teenage/young person problem. But no, sadly, we still have to deal with it on occasion even as grown ups. Not fair! Medicines can get pricey and not always work, so what do you do? Try reading The Complete Acne Health & Diet Guide by Dr. Makoto Trotter.

Difficult skin conditions are all too common. Acne is one of the worst. It is not uncommon at any age. Some, who had relatively clear skin in their youth, struggle with adult-onset acne.

In this book, Dr. Makoto recommends an anti-inflammatory diet that eliminates inflammatory foods while introducing low glycemic load anti-acne super foods. Each of the meals for this diet is easily manageable and quite nutritious in a well-balanced menu of the major food groups.

Foods containing sugar are very problematic and highly inflammatory for acne sufferers. Results are best with the elimination or avoidance of sugar, the cornerstone of this diet. Also important is eliminating all other major food sensitivities.

Although implementing diet restrictions may seem arduous and painful at first glance, it can be enjoyable. Focusing on clean, whole foods is primary, and this book provides many healthy and tasty meals. Some of the 150 recipes are:

Shrimp Scampi with Zucchini
Indian-Spiced Salmon with Spinach
Chilled Avocado, Mint and Coconut Soup
Slow-Cooked Chili Flank Steak or Brisket
Best-Ever Bolognese Sauce
Kale, Apple and Walnut Slaw

There is comprehensive information on the anatomy and psychology of acne, managing acne from conventional treatments, how to deal with scarring, topical support and much more.

I’m willing to try the more natural approach to treating health problems, so this is right up my alley.

Cutting out sugar can be difficult, but honestly, it was probably a good idea anyway. And the foods that are promoted in this book are mostly unprocessed and all natural. I think this would be a good way to feed your family anyway, leaving out the harmful stuff.

No matter what style of food you enjoy, you’ll find recipes and ideas to fit into your meal planning, all the while eating healthier and reducing those annoying acne flare-ups.
