Yes, I believe that losing weight definitely helps with acne. I became a vegetarian at the beginning of this year, and my skin is pretty much clear now, after a lifetime of acne. Sugar & dairy are the worst things to eat for your skin, in my opinion. Worse than bread, pasta, potatoes, etc.... I still eat those things, and my skin is the clearest it's ever been. I've done Atkins and similar plans in the past, and they have cleared up my skin, but I was miserable eating those foods. What I don't eat now is sugar, dairy, any processed/junk food, and any meat product (I do eat seafood). I still eat a lot of bread, pasta, etc.... I eat a lot of fruit now, too (which is full of natural sugar)

So, what I"m trying to say is that there are certain food groups that trigger acne. Try and eliminate one of those food groups every 2 weeks, and see what happens. Not only will you lose weight, your skin will clear up too!
