Hi everyone,
I have been doing the no sugar thing now for about 7 weeks. The first few weeks I actually found it quite easy, then hit a rough spot for a bit, didn't go back on sugar, but craved chocolate and ended up getting the 'sugarless' blocks from the health store. (The ones made of malitol). I ate a couple of blocks over the next few days.
Since I have eaten them, I have started getting lots of pimples. It has been going on for about 2 weeks now, and is driving me crazy. I am 44, and haven't had pimples since I was a teenager, but now there are about 4 or 5 on my face and upper chest all the time.
Has anyone else had skin breakouts since giving up sugar? Not sure if it's something to do with the chocolate, or the timing was just a coincidence. Would love to hear from anyone who may shed some light on this problem for me. Very disappointed since I thought cutting out all that sweet stuff would have made my skin even better.
Cheers,
Yvette
