Hi Karrahs,

Nope, you're not the least bit paranoid. If you search here on "pimples" or "acne" you'll find others have had the same problem (while others find their skin clears up - go figure!).

It's not about the fat you are eating, but about the fat you are losing. As our fat cells shrink, oestrogen is released (also why some folk find TOM changes) and can cause breakouts.

The good news is that as your body gets used to this way of eating, your skin will settle down. And you'll be slimmer and healthier, too, of course!
