When dieting does it change the chemistry in your body?

Going on the third week of eating completely healthy I looked in the mirror at my face and was surprised my skin had cleared up and nice and smooth and all I did was wash it with soap and water. Keep in mind I lost 6 pounds in two weeks.

Foods with high glycemic loads increase insulin in your blood. It would take a biochemistry lesson to talk about how that can cause acne, so I'll just say in your case it seems that reducing high glycemic load foods has reduced your acne. You can go look up glycemic loads of foods to determine which ones to avoid.

Yeah, it's quite conceivable. If you're eating more nutritious food chances are you're probably getting more vitamins (vitamin A, for example, helps maintain normal skin health). Also, if you have food allergies or sensitivities, avoiding those foods might help your skin.

If I don't exercise and get a good sweat on regularly I'll start to break out. I don't know if there's a scientific reason behind it but it's always been this way for me.

You've stopped eating chocolate, fatty foods?! A catalyst for acne if you already have 'vunerable' skin, you can see the difference in just 3 weeks

Your mood may improve, your digestion aswell (less constipated, using the toilet more often)

Do you exercise or have you just cut the crap foods out?!

If you are getting proper nutrition then it's realistic to believe that your body would respond in a positive way. Eating ice cream and chocolate then calling it a day will certainly leave you feeling less than stellar.
