Actually, Wai Genriiu (a pseudonym of Thijs R. Klompmaker) did indeed recommend sugar as an optional element and apparently eats it himself:
oh, well from what I had remembered reading, I don't remember table sugar being recommended, only mention that sugary things would be less likely to make one break out. but I have a horrible memory, so I probably forgot that part if I even read that part.
Which is it--do you not get zits anymore or do you still get one or two every few days?
Well, compared to how my acne used to be? Getting a couple zits every few days that mostly go away on their own is pretty much nothing.
Quite possible. I know you've talked in the past about your workplace being a source of much of your unhealthy eating. Have you looked into working elsewhere at all?
it was hard enough for me to even get hired at where I'm at, and the only reason I can afford to buy my raw foods is because of this job and the extra money I make from tips as a delivery driver.. so, unless I can find a random job that's going to pay me $20 an hour starting out, with no sort of training and nothing but a high school diploma, then no, working somewhere else isn't much of an option..
How did you test this?
From the fact that I now eat tons of fruit daily and don't break out unless I eat pizza or something from work.
Until you eliminate processed foods, which tend to contain all sorts of ingredients, it will be difficult to narrow down what is triggering your continued mild acne breakouts and lack of healing of acne damage.
I know, though I already know it's mainly the pizza making me break out, I just don't know why it's taking so long to heal.
I was amazed when my own acne scars that had existed for decades healed so thoroughly on a low carb Paleo diet and VLC raw Paleo diet that even I can't see what had been the worst of the scars in normal light and in very bright light it shows up as just a tiny crease in a slightly pulled-in area of one cheek.
You know, the scars/blemishes would probably heal better if I ate more meat and animal foods and less fruit, but when I was eating 100% raw animal foods and no plants whatsoever, I still got zits, and I have no idea why.
I'm a pale-skinned redhead and I found that when I went conventional Paleo (a gluten- and dairy- free diet similar to Ray Audette's) that the sun bothered my skin and eyes much less and when I cut back on plant carbs (nightshades like potatoes and tomatoes, sweet potatoes, winter squashes and fruits) that helped still more. The downside was that after a brief period where my constipation improved it returned, so I've been experimenting and have recently added avocados and been trying to eat more soft foods in general to try to help with that.
I actually just bought some avocados recently, to try to get more fat into my diet, which might actually be one of the reasons I go crazy over the pizza at my work, because I don't have a very good source of raw fat to eat.. best I can really get is raw eggs yolks and raw dairy, unless I want to try eating grain-fed commercial beef fat, which I don't think is much of a good idea.. especially since I like my fat better on the warmer side, nearly cooked..
