After this period of all fruit diet, you can follow a well-balanced diet consisting of green fibrous vegetable, fresh fruits, whole grains, nuts, seeds, cereals, and sprouts.

Raw fruits and vegetables will also provide the body with enough fiber to clean up the digestive system, which in turn will help to keep your skin healthy. Vitamin A- and zinc-rich foods, which are considered good for treating acne, can also be helpful here.
