I'm losing weight very quickly but have horrible acne on my skin

[523206720]

Bumps, blitzes, cysts, infections etc... I used to have wonderful skin and now even though I've losing between 1-2 pounds a day, my skin is HORRIBLE! Should I tone down my weight loss so that my skin can go back to normal? Also I purchased macadamian nuts a couple of days ago cause I was thinking of going on a low carb diet and after trying them, I noticed this strange taste which makes me believe the nuts might already have gone bad? I paid almost $24 dollars for one pound of nuts so I'm going to eat if even if it's not fresh but I just wanted to know if the nuts were bad. I know macadamian nuts are fattening but you won't gain weight if you don't go above 1000 calories of that stuff a day and avoid eating other foods.

doesn't sound like you eat at all if you're losing 1-2 pds a day honestly what's your diet? air? lol but ya your body is stressing because of it and making you have pimply face, your bodies way of fighting back and telling you to feed it. you need a varied diet and yes eat vegetables like sexydncr said. veges have an important purpose to give our body vitamins and minerals and fiber, carbs just give us a little bit of fiber and main source of energy to carry out the day, don't forget protein and dairy if you aren't intolerant. look up canadas food guide its very accurate

Any kind of nut will give you pimples/acne because they take the nasty fat out of your skin. Perhaps you're breaking out more because you're eating them, but don't let that stop you, on the contrary, eat more so the bad stuff comes out. And yes nuts have a lot of fat, but it's healthy fat that actually helps you loose weight if eating in the right amount. Reach for a hand full of nuts every time you want to eat an unhealthy sugary snack. Side Note: Losing 1-2 lbs/day is not healthy at all.

I can't believe I'm going to be the first person to say this, but if you are really losing up to 2 pounds per DAY you are not doing it in a healthy way. There is healthy, weight loss, and this is not it. It is healthy to lose up to 2 pounds per week. If you are eating that much of a calorie deficit and depriving yourself of essentials like vegetables and grains you are not doing yourself any favours.

I lost 60 pounds and I did it correctly, by eating a balanced healthy diet and working out. Fad diets are not the answer, patience and balance are key.

You need vegetables for your skin to be healthy

Thanks for BA :) good luck to you and your dieting and clearing your skin up

You would need to theoretically burn 3500 to 7000 calories BEYOND your maintenance caloric need in order to lose 1-2 lbs a day. I guarantee you are losing water weight and NOT fat. Say your maintenance caloric needs are 1800 / day. You would literally have to eat nothing AND burn and ADDITIONAL 700 - 1400 calories in order to do that. Not possible.

If you think the nuts are giving you bad acne, why would you eat them? are you sure you're not allergic to them?

If it's not the nuts, do you eat healthy? because losing weight is good but when it's badly done, you can get health problem like this.

You're losing weight, which means you have altered your diet. Changes in your diet might make your skin act up since your body isn't used to the way you're eating. My cousin had clear skin, and when she became a vegan, she got a bunch of acne.

What is your diet if you are losing 1-2 pounds a day?

[523206720]

Just low calorie, a lot of water and avoiding most vegetables and grains. Low carb is when you don't go above 20 grams of carbohydrates a day. Your body converts body fat into sugar when you do this so you don't even have to eat vegetables on this diet.

I'm familiar with ketogenic, paleo and LCHF type diets, but losing +- 10 pounds a week sounds unhealthy , especially for long term weight control. I would slow down the dieting just to see if it really caused the ane

[beastman88]

"you don't have to eat vegetables on this diet" LOL

[TheOneTurv]

How much do you weigh?

Yes the nuts can become rotten just like peanut butter can start to go rotten and taste bad.

What are you washing your face with?

[Anonymous]

You're suffering from hormonal imbalance due to the lack of necessary nutrients in your body. What is your diet like? Do you drink a lot of water?

[serp777]

Allergies to nuts perhaps?
