 Conflicting Advice Given with Great Humor, 2007-02-06
This book is worth reading just for the author's sense of humor. As far as the advice, it did truly seem to be things we've all heard before. In addition, the author includes many studies that show eating a certain thing or taking a certain supplement has not been proven to heal acne and then turns around and recommends that very item.
As far as acne treatments go, though, this diet is certainly worth a try. It seems harmless, unlike so many other acne treatments. I do think this diet would be very hard for a teenager to follow:
1. Eat fiber every day
2. Avoid peanuts and fried foods
3. Minimize salt (no table salt-especially iodized-, no lunch meats, snack chips, canned foods, etc.
4. Avoid all dairy products.
5. Eat only unprocessed complex carbohydrates (veggies & fruits). No soda, cakes, cookies, candies, white flour, etc.
6. Eat a low fat diet
7. Take the recommended vitamin and mineral supplements.
There are five other tips, but I won't go into them here. $12.95 for this samll book now seems like alot.

 short book without much effort put in, 2007-01-22
this book isn't so much as a 30 day plan as it is a collection of acne related studies summarized. yes, you learn a few interesting things, and he does back up his findings with scientific journals and experiments that have been conducted beforehand, but you could find all of this out on the internet. such things as milk, too much sweets, peanuts, and salt gives you acne but chocolate doesn't are what this book is about. But this is a bit contradicting in my opinion because doesn't milk-chocolate contain a bit of most if not all of these ingredients? An alright book if you want to know what to eat in a tidy small book, but if you have some extra time, type in "acne inducing foods" or something similar in a search engine and save some cash.

 This really worked for me...., 2006-07-17
I would highly recommend this book for anyone having problems with acne. I didn't start having acne until age 25, and I tried everything to get it to stop. This went on for a few years and it was starting to get worse. Dr. Goodless referred me to his book, so I figured it couldn't hurt to give the Acne-free diet a try. Within two weeks, my skin had stopped breaking out completely. I really was amazed. I have continued to follow the diet and have enjoyed having clear skin for the past six months!
