Book Reviews of The Clear Skin Diet
Book Review: This book changed my life.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have battled acne on and off for 17 years. I've been on Accutane, ProActive, various antibiotics, creams, gels - you name it. Nothing really worked and nothing really PREVENTED the breakouts. I had some sense that the acne was a result of diet, but I wasn't sure what about my diet was wrong. I was told by someone to stop eating dairy, but that didn't help. What did help, as this book shows you, is to completely change my diet - lots of fresh veggies and little to no processed foods. I also started to include more fish in my diet, which also helped. I also figured out that sugar was a big aggrevator of my acne. Make no mistake, you likely will still need to see a dermatologist if you have problems with acne like I did, but the diet helps immensely. Plus, I feel much better overall. Thanks so much to the authors!!Book Review: Rich in History & Science - Worth a Look!
Summary: 5 Stars
Most dermatologists will blow off any suggestion that diet and acne are connected. Authors Logan (naturopathic physician) & Treloar (dermatologist) methodically dismantle the bogus "research" behind this dismissal of a nutrition connection. If you think dermatologists have a strong background in nutrition education think again - some of the stats in MD nutrition training listed in this book are alarming.
Overall the book draws on lots of historical diet-acne work and links them with new studies from Australia and Harvard. I also thought the gut-skin chapter was very interesting. This is way more than a "diet" book. The recommendations are not really rocket science but I like to know reasons why I should expect changes, and the authors explain the pathways in detail.
Book Review: wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a blessing for acne sufferers--especially those who are absolutely convinced of the acne-diet connection but are constantly told by the internet, their dermatologist, or "scientists" that no connection exists. Well-researched, but written concisely enough so that everyone can easily understand the concepts, the book deals with acne in a truely integrated fashion. It shows how the state of the mind and the gut, seemingly unrelated to our skin, are closely interwined with our breakouts. The information is fascinating and I doubt you will be able to be it down if skincare is your passion.Book Review: Insightful and Well-researched Findings
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to applaud Dr. Logan for this wonderful book. I'm normally not that interested in the science and don't really care for biology that much but this book presents the findings and studies in such a straightforward, concise and clear way. After reading this book, it is hard to debunk that diet somehow affects a person's proneness to acne.
This is something that anyone with some skin problem should read. Although it is a non-fiction, this book is not boring at all. It presents a wealth of relevant information throughout the book and is well worth the money.
Book Review: I was Impressed
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow! This book throws a lot of data, facts, and clinical trials at you. Some may say it is disorganized. However the feeling I had coming out of reading the book was an unwavering faith in how diet is related to Acne that I previously only suspected. And with that - a new-found conversion, no-TOTAL COMMITMENT to change myself 180 degrees and to beat the pharma and cosmetic industry that feeds off this illness. A strong commitment needs a strong conversion as the seed and this book is the catalyst. Wish I found this sooner. 5 Stars and bravo!
