So does chocolate cause acne? It can-but not by ITSELF.
The truth is that chocolate has NEVER been demonstrated to make pimples worse-it’s more your diet as a whole. In fact without sweeteners this bean is actually quite good for you.
In other words, it’s not necessarily the chocolate in that Snickers Bar that gives you the pimples-it’s all the other crap that’s in there.
So what’s the right diet?
Here are 3 tips to help you get clear skin by changing your food choices:
#1) LIMIT your consumption of processed foods
Processed chocolate will give you acne-make no mistake about it.
So I can’t eat ANY processed foods?
Avoiding them is necessary to have clear skin… but every now and then its okay to splurge.
I recommend taking 1 day week your “dieters gone wild’ day where you allow yourself to eat anything and everything you want-but only if you can’t help it.
#2) Try consuming more organic foods
Why is this important? Because the chemicals in non-organic foods can cause pimples when they get inside your body because they DISRUPT your overall system.
And organic foods also have more nutrition-and a well nourished body is not at risk of zits.
#3) Eat MOSTLY fruits and vegetables
This is the FOUNDATION of any good diet–make sure that 70-80% is fruits and vegetables-and again be sure they are organic.
Does meat cause pimples?
There is some confusion on this topic. If you eat too much of it than yes-especially if it’s fatty. Focus on lean and unprocessed meats… “sandwich meats” must be cut out.
So does chocolate cause acne? It plays a small role-but only if it’s been processed and the rest of your diet is pure crap. Just eating more natural food is the most important thing.
