I just started the zone again and noticed this past week my face has broken out something fierce. Has anyone else experienced this at all or in the beginning? I dont' recall this happening before when i did the zone several years ago. I wonder if it is the fish oil. also, my emotions seems off the wall, I wonder if that is an indicator of too many carbs. I'm not hungry. Thanks.

male? female? birth control pills? there can be lots of factors. (not that I am guaranteeing an answer, but others may be able to help with more info) :)

I did change to Carslon fish oil once a day instead of olive oil. I can't believe i'm reliving my teens.

As the Zone has you grilling, broiling, baking and using only small amounts of good oils I wouldn't think that is the cause. Unless you've started eating things you might be allergic to since starting the Zone? . I gained weight, no zits, but I have always had good skin that wasn't prone to breakouts. I just put on lbs no matter what I did. Since starting the Zone again, thank goodness I am losing, slowly but healthily. Good luck, Joell
