i have KP and i used to be a big meat eater,
....But !!! .. i wanted to slim down to model weight, improve my appearance and live a greener, more healthy lifestyle. im vegetarian now, and since ive been vegetarian for the past 8 month, my skin has become more softer and especially less rough on the back of my arms where before, it always felt like i had goose bumps.
i totally suggest you go Vegetarian... also, scrub your body with OATMEAL SCRUB that you can find in grocery stores or drug stores, and etc.
good luck (:

Some people probably think chicken causes it because chickens have bumpy skin. It's like the old superstition about touching toads giving you warts. Sounds like magical thinking to me.
?
its nothing to do with chicken
its only assiciated with chicken because of the chicken liek appearance
seriously, dont listen to gossip
no being vege hasnt helped my kp, scrubbing daily and putting lots of moisturiser on has, but only marginally
carly
ive been vegetarian for about half a year and i had k.p.
funny i noticed it was going away, but didnt know why, i thought it mightve been that it goes away as i got older
but i guess its by not eating chicken!
