At last we have some solid, scientific evidence to present to our clients that our modern western diet and lifestyle are creating nutritional deficiencies that result in skin disease – from acne to wrinkles. This book is a must read for practitioners and clients who want lasting results that work.

My wife has been suffering acne since her teenage years. She has not read the book yet, but I hope pretty soon. Many people are skeptical because there are overweight people who eat whatever they want and don’t exercise, yet they have clear skin. That is where genetics comes in.

Dr. Cordain does an excellent job describing how acne happens and then shows the relationship between the food we eat and acne. It is not just a theory without any clinical and scientific research. I know God didn’t design our bodies to eat processed foods that come out of a bag or can most of the time. This book will show the reader examples of people that suffered from acne and the results that had.

Most of the information is easy to read and relevant. I would highly recommend this book to anyone suffering from acne or knows someone that has this condition. Dr. Cordain suggests following his plan for one month. I suggest that people give it a try. As a result a person will not only have clear skin, but be overall a healthier person.

now is time to understand that many diseases (not only acne) are caused by what we eat. Western diseases are epidemic ones: obesity, cancer, diabetes, hipertension… Learning the correct way of eating we are not only curing acne but preventing many other. Now is time not to have just a pharmacologic approach to disease: what we do and what we eat is our best future, our best travel to health…

As a physician, I have often used Loren Cordain’s approach in counselling patients with multiple medical problems not just acne. I have had great success with his Paleo Diet approach to illness. Naturally, I was intrigued when he came out with this title. I originally purchased the book in the electronic form and recommended it to patients. I am pleased that it is now available in print.

It isn’t easy to change your diet and lifestyle but I can say that I have had no failures when the principles in the book were followed.

I am a 30 year old female, Professional Esthetician working in Skin care, who has had acne since the age of 12. I’ve been on Accutane, prescription medication, prescription topicals, and yet have consistently struggled with this. I found this book through a friend who has been on the Paleo diet for awhile now and swears by it for fitness and health related reasons.

I have been following this diet for 2 weeks now and am AMAZED at the progress thus far. The diet is strict no doubt, but my craving for sugar and dairy have subsided in week 2, and the one time I cheated and had pancakes at breakfast, I found myself craving the veggie omelette my friend was eating. I am still not sure exactly what my trigger for acne in my diet is, however I can report that in week 2, not only have I not had a single breakout (a miracle in itself trust me) but my skin is less red and inflammation from past breakouts is significantly reduced. I would say I am about a week away from being able to go out with no makeup on and feel comfortable, something I have not done in years.

The other bonus of this diet is I lost 4 pounds since I’ve been on it. I am a fit person as it is, weighing 2 weeks ago at 115 pounds, so it didn’t seem like there was anywhere to lose 4 pounds, but I did. It was all in the form of fat, and I’m excited to have my body fat percentage measured as I know it has gone down. Previously I was working out 5 days a week to maintain my body weight, and in the last 2 weeks Ive been to the gym twice, yet managed to lose 4 pounds, and looking more toned every day. This program works, and I feel absolutely amazing being on it. The first few days are tough but eat a ton of veggies, a ton of fruit, and you’ll get through it. IT WORKS!
