Quick takeaways

  • Adopting a low carb diet and practicing intermittent fasting can effectively address acne by reducing oil production and inflammation, while also offering additional benefits such as youthful-looking skin and anti-aging qualities.
  • Vitamin D deficiency plays a significant role in the development of acne, regulating acne-causing bacteria, inhibiting excess oil production, reducing inflammation, and helping regulate androgens.

Deep dives

The Importance of Low Carb and Intermittent Fasting

To effectively address acne, it is crucial to adopt a low carb diet and practice intermittent fasting. High levels of insulin caused by consuming too many carbs trigger a spike in androgens, aggravating acne. Snacking, which leads to frequent insulin surges, also contributes to the problem. By eliminating snacks and transitioning to burning fat for fuel through intermittent fasting, the sebaceous glands shrink, reducing oil production and inflammation. This dietary approach offers additional benefits, such as youthful-looking skin and anti-aging qualities.
