And even though i have seen improvement in my skin when i avoid these foods it frustrates me that i cannot have one soda, one peice of chocolate, or one glass of milk without breaking out soon afterwards.
There are 2 things doctors say i dont understand, diet doesnt affect your skin and sugar doesnt have any effects on kids

I have identified the foods that affect my skin: ice cream, french fries and just about any fried stuff, too much chocolate makes my skin itchy and reddish but i can still get away with small quantities everyweek, if i eat too much i get pimples too. in the summer i probably eat ice cream only twice.

but the two things that i cant resist are fried plantain or chicharitas always make me break out, i try to avoid any place that has it on the menu when i have a gig a few days after. no will power whatsoever if fried plantains are on the menu it is the first thing i order when the waiter comes to take my order
