[DR. NICKGA]

yea but

if you stop with the fast then you acne is probably gonna be back

its a temporary solution

 

[IAMNOTANINCEL]

yes, because you are likely eating a diet that gives you inflammation
if you dont eat at all you will only consume your body's raw fat and muscle.

What you’re proposing is an extreme version of an elimination diet. Water fasting for 3 weeks is extremely unhealthy, (especially if you are young and still have years of bone development ahead of you.) Your acne is most likely caused by an excess intake of simple carbohydrates and saturated fats. Opt for a cleaner higher calorie diet of complex carbohydrates and unsaturated fats. Do not starve yourself. You will lose bone mass and cause more issues in your life.

Exercise is also important to maintain your metabolic rate. Good luck.
