Are you having any other problems? I have a sensitivity to arachidonic acid (found in fat of meat and especially egg yolks) that causes skin problems for me as well as problems for my nails. I ate a ton of bacon and eggs and developed problems that I had NEVEr experienced before.

Also, if you're eating more bacon, sausage, and other kinds of meat like that that has nitrates and nitrites, you could have a sensitivity to that. You can buy it without those things.

The biggest reason I can think of for breaking out is not drinking enough water. Could this be a possibility??? It's imperative that you drink much more than you're probably used to. Also, taking supplements, especially b-complex helps with breakouts - my dermatologist told me about that...are you doing recommended supplements??

Other food sensitivities when you start ingesting more than usual, dairy and eggs come to mind.

Hope your skin clears up. Hang in there!
