This is exactly what I am eating and getting great results.

I have stopped consuming sugar, dairy, and flour based products. It was extremely difficult and took a few months to adjust, but today I can honestly say that although it is very tempting to eat that slice of pepperoni pizza I just remind myself by touching my smooth arms and question myself what it is that matters to me the most: 2,000 fat calories and undesirable skin or nice and smooth skin... I'll take the latter, no pizza thanks!


You can definitely survive in this world by eating: White meat, red meat, lots of vegetables, and lots fruits. But it is also very important to consume products containing large doses of Vitamin A and Omega 3 fatty acids.

First, I take my regular dose of multivitamins that I purchased at the local GNC store.

Second, I drink about two to three glasses of carrot juice everyday. Carrot juice is the main ingredient you need to take once in the diet You can either make your own carrot juice with a juice maker, or buy 100% pure carrot juice from your local health foods market.

A handful of walnuts in the morning which contain the largest source of Omega 3 fatty acids. (only about a handful is needed, maybe two, as walnuts contain tons of 'good' fat calories.)

Four times a week, eat salmon and tuna which are fish that are heavily fortified with Omega 3 fatty acids.

Drink lot's of water...

No coffee, instead, drink green tea (but only half an hour after you've taken your vitamins). Green Tea counter effects the value of your vitamins the GNC store owner told me.

My skin feels so smooth!

BTW. The Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is also working.

Although this seems easy, It is not easy at all to change your eating habits.
Sugar, flour, and dairly products are found in almost any dish or foods. I can assure you that It will not be easy at all and your body will start to ask for these products and consumption of them will have a direct affect on your KP results.

It really depends on your body to see the results. In some cases, people may take up to three months to notice results. I think the Carrot Juice and the other foods that contain Vitamin A and Omega 3 fatty acids speed up the results. For me, its taken approximately three weeks to notice the difference. Three weeks of absolutely NO dairy products, No Sugar products, or breads or white rice (brown rice is okay)! And lot's of Carrot Juice and Salmon/Tuna....

Some people might caution you about overdoing it with Vitamin A. In high amounts Vit A is known to be toxic, BUT, it seems to me that we are less vulnerable in the first place as the reason our KP exist is due to the fact that our bodies are just not processing the Vitamin A from the foods we eat. Even then, it would take an enormous amount of Vitamin A: like drinking five gallons of carrot juice everyday to get intoxicated.

I hope that other people try this and don't give up. Once you get used to the new diet, your body will thank you for changing your lifestyle and making it feel much better.

I got all this information from other users that have posted here since the forum first opened. I used to try it but then give up after about two weeks. IT IS NOT EASY! The key is consistency.

GOODLUCK treating your KP!

1. how severe was yours before it got better? Is it completely better only after 3 weeks?
2. instead of drinking carrot juice, and foods to get the vitamins...are pills just as effective?
3. What is a normal day of eating for you? did u lose weight from this new diet?

thanks!

I'll live with KP. There is no way I'm giving up just about everything in the supermarket! LOL... Sugar and flour and dairy? What CAN you eat? LOL? But glad it's working for you!

1. I probably have one of the most severe cases of KP. It's like a permanent case of goose bumps and hyperpigmentation all over my body. I can't explain exactly when you start seeing results. At first, you don't notice anything. You just wake up one morning and feel your arms are much smoother. Your minds plays tricks on you and you think that perhaps your skin was getting much better to begin with so you forget about the diet. NOT good! Only until other people tell you that your skin is getting better will you really know that your body is not producing the same levels of Keratyn it did before.

2. NO! Vitamins are only supplements! You need to give your body foods that contain these products. The carrot juice is ESSENTIAL in treating this.

3. I have lost weight, and I feel so good, not just physically but mentally. I don't get as depressed easily because of my disorder. When I show people now, they think "Oh, it's not so bad" Because they never got to see it when it was REALLY BAD!

Right, it is not an easy choice to make...

But let's have common sense. Is KP ever going to go away with ointments and creams? You have to treat it from the inside as well as the outside.


"It takes time and effort to be beautiful you know."

~~~Marylin Monroe once said.

I've had FABULOUS results with meat tenderizer, apple cider vinegar and coconut oil...NO new bumps!!! I LOVE IT!!!

GoodLuck~
So, what is a normal day of eating for you? What are some good ideas of things to eat without sugar, flour, and dairy? I know all veggies and stuff, but no casseroles or other similar dishes? And, this may sound outrageous, but are you sure it is this diet and not anything else that is clearing up your kp? Could it be just the carrot juice alone or definately the combo of things? I know alot of questions but I would really like to know all the details before trying this diet. Thanks so much!

Hi! Congratulations, Goodluck, on your success with KP! I have read of a few cases on this site of people who, when they altered their diets (usually by eliminating EITHER dairy OR wheat/gluten OR refined flours and sugars, but often not all of the above!) saw an improvement in their KP. It makes sense, too, as many KP-sufferers have claimed to have allergies, and allergies may be caused by irritation in the gut due to a food intolerance/allergy (often to things like dairy, gluten, or wheat) - from what I have read (I am NOT a licensed medical professional) - and I understand that this can lead to an improper absorbtion of nutrients (which could be causing the KP?).

Personally, I went off wheat and dairy for a couple of weeks and saw no difference in my skin, though some of my digestive problems were less of an issue. However, from what I have been reading from various sources (medical journals, newsletters, and websites) a few weeks off of a food you may potentially be intolerant to may not be enough time, as the "gut" (more specifically,I think, the small intestines) typically requires more time (like 3-6 months!) to heal itself. When it is healed, nutrients are better-absorbed, and digestive issues that may have been present should become less of a problem, or be eliminated altogether. Hence, I plan on going off gluten and dairy this fall and winter. We'll see what comes of it! Your story encourages me!

I do think that Krystalite brings up a good point, though. Can you tell which element(s) of your new diet plan/vitmamin regimen have helped the most? Let us know if you can! Oh, and I, too, would like to know what it is that you eat, exactly, if you wouldn't mind sharing.

Congrats again!

Peace!

Namaste,

No Krystalite, it is not outrageous at all. I too wondered how the hell am I going to survive by not eating fried chicken, pasta, and all those yummy foods that I love so much. But if you really want something in life you'll sacrifice anything to get it. I want to have the most perfect skin I can possibly attain, and if it takes eliminating certain foods, then be it! I'd rather be happy, and not FAT!

I found that the carrot juice itself works wonders! But doesn't completely eliminate the problem. Perhaps you should drink carrot juice everyday and eliminate all the products and start bringing one by one to figure out which one it is that affects your body the most.

This is my routine:

For breakfast -

A big bowl of fruit salad: Bananas, oranges, apples, cucumber, mango into a big bowl - enough to fill you up. (Your stomach at first will not get filled up with this and will ask for a bagel with cream - you just have to tell it to stop and to get over it. ) A handfull of Walnuts! <--a must


Green TEA - I am taking a special kind of green tea found in South America called Te de Mate. It's just a heavily fortified green tea that makes you sweat out all a lot when you work out.

LUNCH:

Tuna or Salmon in Lemon Juice. Green Salad (No cruttons or dressing) 16. Ounces of Carrot Juice.

or,

Hamburger with 100% Whole Wheat Bread, or any other bread that is not made with flour - No Cheese!

SNACK

RICE Cakes (made of brown rice)

DINNER:

Grilled or baked Chicken, side of vegetables.

Or

Steak with side of potatoes.

You can pretty adjust your diet to whatever cultural background you come from. For example, I'm American of Mexican descent and we consume lot's of corn tortillas with our dishes. Corn tortillas acts as our perfect substitute for our bread. I can pretty much eat most Mexican foods as long as I leave out the bread and cheeses that come with it on the side.

I've never been too fond of cheeses or dairy products, but I've alwasy loved bread and sugar products.

just be careful with how often you eat tuna... there is a chart somewhere online if you google it that shows how often you can and should eat it because of the possibility of high mercury levels in it... i think you should only eat a can every 2 weeks or something like that...

GreenBean:

I highly recommend Carrot Juice every day along with whatever diet it is that you are trying!

CARROT JUICE, CARROT JUICE, CARROT JUICE!!!


If you are right, I can't wait to see what my skin will feel like in the three month period.

NAMASTE my friend!

YES! Thanks for that info. I am aware of that. I only eat it about twice a week. I was just offering that as an example. You should also buy only Alaskan Salmon from the sea and not domestically grown for similar reasons.

Thanks for ALL of the info, Goodluck! Keep us posted on your progress.

Yeah, I have a combination of veggie and fruit juice every morning that gives me more than my RDI of vitmamin A, though I do add pure carrot juice occasionally (it's expensive stuff, and juicing is something I have not been able to will myself to start doing, yet). Your meal plan looks very similar to mine, actually. I have been transitioning to a wheat-free/dairy-free diet, and it is easier than one might think (especially if you ease into it and explore your options). Aside from those basic "meat with a side of veggie" dinners, and, of course, salads, Mexican food is perhaps the easiest (and the yummiest) type of food for me to eat gluten and dairy-free... My mom makes these scrumptious (wild-caught) fish tacos with guacamole (just avacadoes, lime, and salsa - really healthy), and I just leave out the cheese, sour cream, and tortilla. I have also become a rice cake fiend (rice cakes and peanut butter, or bananas, or jam - mmm). I drink soy and rice milk (which I like better than cow's milk anyway). I eat fruit when I want something sweet. I have also been exploring gluten-free breads (although those foods do not have very many nutrients in them, but that's not why one eats them). Going out to eat is a challenge I have yet to really surmount, though... But there's time.

Anyway, thanks again.

Peace!

Namaste,

I have been on a dairy and gluten free diet for 8 months and it hasn't helped my skin. However, stopping wheat and dairy did make what seemed like chronic asthma go away completely. That happened within a month, and I wasn't even expecting to treat my asthma. Then I found out I was gluten intolerant, so cut out all gluten, not just wheat. Anyway, no skin change.

I am adding vitamin A (yes, having read this I'll try to focus on carrots), based on my new dermatologist's recommendations, and see if that helps. Will also be adding back gluten sources, but not wheat, as we revisited my blood tests and see that I am not gluten intolerant after all (and never had the digestive symptoms before or after eliminating it).

Question about carrot juice - what about eating cooked carrots and other carotene sources? I do not have a juicer, nor easy place to buy carrot juice, plus I know it is quite expensive to buy.
