>Acne is on the way back started not one week since I got back, I'm losing weight drastically even though I eat well and healthy
You are obviously allergic to something back home.

>>37612511
one word brah, climate.

where were you in the us?

>>37612565
This is the first time I hear cold climate causing acne. Usually it's hot climates that do.

>>37612565
I agree to some extent, I was in SC and it's a huge climate change from Norway. Still, I'm not overreacting on the facts. I did everything I could do wrong when it comes to dieting in the US, yet I had bodily benefits compared to doing everything that's right in Norway yet getting my shit handed to me..

>SC
Constantly sweating clears the pores.

>>37612606
I got there in early January when it was still kind of cold. No sweats were had until late February, benefits began 3-4 days in.

> Everything I know about dieting has been disproved by my semester abroad

either you don't know much or you are the type of skeleton that thinks he eats like a beast, but in reality pic related

The sun clears my acne, regardless of climate. Britfag from the grey grey north here

OP here, I highly agree with this, and it has been me for quite a while.

But for real, I am not exaggerating fast food daily, and the least I ate was twice a day but still made up for it with tons of snacks and cupcakes and shit.

I feel you on the pic but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case - which it wasn't

Let us expand on this.

Were you more active in the States than back home?
Did you count your calories?
Were your energy levels constant or were they dynamic?
You say you are losing weight on your home diet, it is harder to gain weight on "clean foods".
What is your height, weight and bf% right now compared to States?

>>37612503
Your acne coming back can have many reasons, I'm not a dermatologist, brah. I for one started getting more acne after I started cutting out saturated fats out of my diet and it became even worse when I started taking multivitamin supplements. So much about zinc reducing acne. Shit is weird as fuck. If you want to end the hassle, just annoy your dermatologist until he puts you on accutane. Only effective way to permanently lose acne.

Now about your weight loss back at home: You obviously don't eat a whole lot so when you get satiated on an american diet with lots of calorie dense food, you just ate your actual TDEE. Now you still have the same appetite at home and you probably eat the same amount of food in volume so you're just as satiated or even a bit more satiated because you knew you were probably not eating enough but since the food is far less calorie dense you lose weight and are eating below your TDEE. Easy solution. Count calories or macros.

i was in boston couple of years back, and the humidity is completely different to finland (where i obviously am from). but all of my acne just fucking dissappeared in the us. i ate mostly like i would back home. and excercised like i would back home. weird thing but it happened.

>>37612885
Were you more active in the States than back home?
>not in particular. Maybe a tiny bit more
Did you count your calories?
>I made myself hit 2000 a day and then some
Were your energy levels constant or were they dynamic?
>I slept a whole lot the first couple of months. All I did was eat a lot and sleep.
