Q: Apple Diet

I have been dealing with acne for 4 years or so now... and about two months ago after a huge breakout i tried the apple diet. some of you may have seen an auction on ebay saying "Be acne free in 4 days" or whatever.. well... pretty much its a 3 day apple diet. Eat only apples for three days straight (i would recommend organic apples as they have a higher pectin content). The diet calls for an enema each evening.. which i opted not to do... i am sure it is more effective... but i just took a colon cleanser capsule made by futurebiotics called colon green. Drink only water as well. My acne was almost gone about a week later. I would recommend sticking with eating a few apples a day to keep the acne away. I didnt do that at first and got a few pimples a week. Try it and let me know how it works for you!

I'm sorry to be sceptical but your body would not be able to cope for 3 or 4 days only apples!! the nutritional content of apples isn't high so there would be nothing for your body to live off! Your also saying a few (3) apples a day..... who can live off 3 apples a day???

I'm sorry but i wouldnt recommend anyone doing it unless you like the look of the emergency room!

You misread my post Auzzie... I did not say 3 apples a day... i said 3 day apple diet... You eat as many apples as you need each day for 3 days. I personally ate between 10 and 12 apples per day. Plus, there is no way you will be sent to the emergency room even if you did only eat 3 apples a day. Ive gone 3 days with eating nothing at all before and I did not come close to having to go to the hospital.

Apple Diet

I did the apple diet about three years ago and its the biggest scam I've ever tried. The ebook cost me $39.95 and all it said was eat apples for three days and drink water.

I lost far too much weight and it did nothing. It was an absolute rip off!!

Well, Im guessing its one of those deals where it works for some, not for others...

gigisi, did you cheat by eating other foods, use drugs, or smoke during the 3 days? And did you do the enema part? The author said if you don't follow exact directions results will not be good. I read the ebook as well and I gonna try it this weekend. I am very skeptical of this but I tried all kinds of anti-biotics, differin, torozac, and nothign works. Im out of options. I would be very pissed though if i sacrifice 3 days of my life eating apples and it did not work.

It worked for me, at least it helped alot. You can continue on th ediet a couple more days. If you are constipated I would suggest a herbal tea laxative. I opted not to do the enema either but if you dont follow the instructions word for word then you cant expect results. Nothing but apples & water for 3 days, then acidophilus & garlic suppliments there after to keep yeast at bay. i am trying the peels now, I will let you know how they work.

Healthy diet low on sugar & yeast

well.. if now that i have cleansed i follow a healthy diet low on sugar & yeast i dont see why my acne wouldn't cealr up. antibiotics are a huge cause of acne. look up leaky gut syndrome.

a cleanse & healthy diet will do wonders along with acidophilus, garlic & a multi. plus you have to stay cleaned out, so the herbal tea laxative. i will keep you posted too.

Apple Diet

Ive done the apple diet last weekend ... i didn't see any improvements untill 5 days later. My face is almost clear now and i haven't gotten one pimple since. It works! I bought that skin peel too ... have you used it yet brettnrachel??? If so any good results? Im probably gonna do the cleanse once more next month and then use the peels. But im soo happy ive found something that actualy works instead of lies and unneeded anti-biotics from dermatologists.
