Hi...I'm 8 short days into paleo...and in breaking out. I've never had a lot of breakouts in my life, so it's concerning. Has anyone experienced this?

    I'd agree with detoxing. When I first went paleo/primal I experienced the same thing, and after about two weeks I had great skin again. Anytime I eat something I shouldn't (pizza, beer, etc), I usually get a pimple or 2 in the days following eating back on plan, then back to great skin.

    That has been my experience as well. My skin is much clearer now.

    Yep, I'd say your body is trying to get rid of those nasty built up toxins in your system. Make sure you drink plenty of water, especially with lemon/lime juice, and apple cider vinegar may also help.
