A Spotty Question
Hiya Everyone,
Im pretty new to this forum but have a question... Ive been on Atkins for the last three weeks and have lost 12 pounds so Im delighted with that. The only problem I have is that I have been covered in spots for the last three weeks too!! I am usually prone anyway but never this bad and they just seem to be getting worse! I wondered if anyone else has this problem or had any advice for me. I am taking all the vitamin and Mineral supplements but cant figure this out. Id appreciate any help at all. Take care!!!! |
Are your spots like hives? Could it be you're eating something you're allergic to? Might want to see an allergy specialist if that's the case.

Spots are pimples.

Sometimes when I go back to strict low carb after a long period of cheating (carbs), my body will "detox" or when I'm eating too much dairy I'll break out and get a lot of pimples. Check your diet for foods that could cause probs - you can find out in the forums what many common foods are, and give it a few more weeks :)
take care, Meg |
Detoxing is probably what it is. Hormones are stored in fat so more are being released into your blood. Stick with it though. I always had skin problems. They got worse when I first started LCing but after about a while my skin became flawless. This was amazing for me as I always, always since i was 11 had at least 2 spots on my face at any time.
Stick with it, believe me it will help your skin. |
Interesting. I have seen a non-iritating rash appear on my torso on three seperate occations while LC'ing. The rash clears up very quickly when I go off LC'ing. Not sure what to make of it.
Doubt it is a food alergy for me as I eat the same foods while LC'ing and while eating freely. I was supposing the rash was a result of a vitamin or mineral deficiency although this is purely specualtion. I purchased a variey of supplements to see if they will make any difference as I am stepping back into a LC weight loss endeavour for January. |
