    Dude, first of all get a juicer if you don't already have one. For acne, hit the cucumber, celery and grape juices HARD This will give your lymphatic system a good flush out, clearing out toxins/waste matter in the body, which is essentially what acne originates from anyway. Once you start doing this regularly you should notice your skin starting to clear up. Nuts and seeds are good in moderation to keep your skin healthily oily, but don't overdo them as many are high in fat, such as brazil nuts... Almonds & sunflower seeds are fantastic though, especially if you soak them before eating. I've also heard that coconut oil is a God-send for skin-related issues, and so you could consider using this as a secondary measure to clean your skin up.

    Hope this helps buddy! :)

    Thank you for the advice. :) But as I mentioned in here I actually was able to get rid of my acne by going high carb(high fruit) low fat raw. Ive also noticed over that time I cannot eat oranges or pineapple without breaking out.

    I normally make a large one last a few days ... but they are one of my favourite fruits. My dog and hens like them too :)

    I usually cant stop once I start eating watermelon, just too good and lower in calories so I have to eat a lot of it. I have to agree, one of my favorite fruits as well! My dog lives for watermelon, every single time I have it she has to have some. My mice have mixed opinions on it though.
