I’ve done if for a few weeks but never an extended fast that lasts more than a day. I was wondering what the best length to clear inflammation and cystic acne is.
There is no “best” or “standard” guideline. Listen to your body. And don’t try to overachieve or trying to do too many at once for the first time.
Acne is one of the symptoms from heavy metal exposure. Check if your water supply is fluoridated. ;)
My acne was so bad and caused by bad bacteria in my gut. I started OMAD and it started clearing up right away. I also had to give up all artificial sweeteners because they are notoriously bad for gut health. After 3 months, I now fast 20/4 or 18/6 because I don’t have any more weight to lose. My acne is almost all cleared up except for a couple of small cysts that I think I’m going to have to have my dermatologist zap because they won’t go away. But all the redness and inflammation and most of the acne is totally gone. Oh, and I eat Paleo so no dairy, grains, or legumes and low sugar.
