cant eat peanuts

maybe look up brian turner on youtube, he had terrible acne and cleared it up partially with his diet. he lifts weights too, but eats vegan. maybe some of the shit he eats can help you out. he's a big dude and eats over 4k kcal during his bulk

Olive oil isnt bad? I know red meat is linked with acne so I've only been eating chicken. Sweet potatoes are a good idea, beans as well. Rice though I'm a little wary of.

thanks man I will look him up. my forehead looks like shit
bump for any last minute suggestions, i've been drinking a serving of almond milk and vegitable juice each daily for an extra calorie boost
Vitamin A pills at 500% works for me.

gonna look into that, watcfhing brian turner videos atm.
do you think if i buy vitamin A at dollar tree (lel) itll be less effective?
thanks a lot /fit/ honestly.

Stop being such a bitch. The only foods and dietary patterns that affect acne are dairy(whey has no effect) and high glycemic diets. Get a decent facewash(non-medicated face soap, BP 10%, and face lotion), and some OTC acne pills if you feel you need.

bp 10%? what's that? my forehead is speckled with hyperpigmentation, I just want to avoid getting more. do you recommend any particular OTC pills?
>>36729842
you're going full retard trying to fully manage acne with diet, it won't work.
Add some carbs, add some fats add some eggs, up your calories. Ok you get a few extra zits, so take a low-dose of accutane, 20mg every 2 or 3 days. you can buy it online ezy pezy goldpharma com

>Vitamin A pills at 500% works for me.
vit A is a poor substitute for low-dose accutane, but it's better than nothing I guess.

>bp 10%? what's that?
benzyol peroxide, it's in a lot of acne medications.
10% is pretty high, 2.5 or 5% is sufficient
> my forehead is speckled with hyperpigmentation
learn to moisturize at night, before you go to bed.
get a vitamin e moisturizer

well I learned a lot, also I figured out BP is benzoyl peroxide. thanks again /fit/, Im going to keep trying to eat cleanly though and see how it works. my goal is really to prevent acne, not get rid of existing acne as i have little of that, but a large amount of hyperpigmentation

Ive been using aloe vera gel. I'll probably get some vitamin E though as this crap has a bunch of extra ingredients in it (the aloe gel) even though it says 100% pure on the package. thanks guys!
