Same goes in the morning also. Try to delay breakfast as much as
possible to give your body more time to detoxify.
More healthy fats, less carbohydrates
This advice might fly on the face of what you have been told
previously. In Western cultures fats are treated like gremlins. You
shouldn't go overboard with this one, but initially (when you are
working to replace harmful bacteria with beneficial ones) try to lean
towards healthy fast for energy instead of carbohydrates.
There are two reasons for this. First healthy fats are a much cleaner
source of energy than carbohydrates are. The process of burning
carbohydrates for energy in your cells produces acidic waste.
Burning fats doesn't do this. Another reason is that all
carbohydrates you eat are converted into sugars that the harmful
bacteria will feast on. Fats are much more difficult for the harmful
bacteria to use.
Now you shouldn't just go and eat any fats. I'm talking about the
healthy kind of fats here. Go for unsaturated fats from vegetable
sources. Good sources include coconut, avocado, unrefined nuts,
olive oil, flaxseed oil and most seed oils. Avoid saturated fats and
hydrogenated (or trans) fats.
I really don't know how big an influence this thing has, but if you
are thinking whether to put coconut or pasta into your salad - go for
the coconut.
Foods that are skin sinners
Here's a small (not comprehensive) list of foods that most likely will
aggravate your acne. So try to stay away from these.
Excessive protein. Proteins are not only highly acidifying but they
also take a long time to digest (esp. animal protein), thus giving
bacteria plenty of time to putrefy them. Eat organic meat if you
want to eat meat. That way you can at least avoid the hormones
and antibiotics that come loaded with 'normal' meat.
Sugars and sweeteners. The harmful bacteria in your stomach
strive on sugar, which they convert into toxic waste. It's not only
the refined sugar that's bad for you - it's practically all sweeteners
(including naturals like honey). Fruit juices are full of easily
accessible sugar. I would even go so far as to advice you to avoid
