For 12 weeks the teens in the study cut out virtually all processed and bad foods and switched to a healthy diet of fish, lean meat, whole grains, fresh fruit and vegetables. Their acne improved dramatically and the study showed that simply cutting out sugar and junk/processed foods for 3 months was a far more effective weapon against acne than a cabinet full of anti-pimple products.

It includes a breakthrough diet plan specifically designed for teens, with recipes, tips inspiration, and all the right information teens need to make smart food choices and to get gorgeous skin.
