My skin is so dehydrated. Its all wrinkly and you can feel it if you touch my skin. So fed up. I drink water all the time. Any suggestions please
I have been eating low fat. But I thought a high carb turned into sugarHave you been eating a low fat diet?
My skin is so much better since I abandoned low fat and high carb eating.
It's hard for me as I don't eat meat for protein. All this gets to me as I don't know what to eat. Was only diagnosed about 3 months agoYes, it does - but I was told to eat high carb, low fat foods to lower cholesterol - it didn't but my GP insisted.
At diagnosis I went straight back to low carb, included the fat and protein I'd denied myself, and my general health improved, but most noticeably my skin changed, becoming soft and smooth.
No don't eat eggs but I do like cheese. And rub what on your skinAh - that is difficult, I really am rather at a loss as to what to suggest. I have even gone onto anti meat lists to ask for help - but the response is that I should eat whole foods including grain, which is just not possible as far as I'm concerned - I can manage 50 gm of carbs a day max, which isn't sustainable for very long if not backed up with other foods.
Do you eat eggs or cheese? They are low carb - avocadoes are good - but expensive.
There are things such as Quorn - though as soon as they process it they add starches, it seems.
I use an olive oil and vinegar dressing on my salad and for roasting, that might be of some help with your diet - and it is recommended for dry skin, just rub on a small amount, spreading it as far as possible a couple of times a day.
Oh sorry - I edited out the sense of that - olive oil, just a little drop smoothed out - particularly when the skin is warm from bath or shower.No don't eat eggs but I do like cheese. And rub what on your skin
