Actually, poor hygiene IS a factor, just not the main factor. Poor hygiene allows overgrowth of organisms, including those responsible for Acne. Of course, there are factors such as hormones, genetics, etc.

Actually, both are truth. Eating fats will lead to increase accumulation of fats in the body. Direct effect. Yes, calories and carbs will also be converted into fat. So both are truth.

Ah, didnt know there was a reply for me here. Been away way too long.

Anyway, there's different types of fats that most people aren't aware of. Of course the more read ones like you would know, but most people have the idea of fats as the ones from meat, all the trans fat which are high in LDL. That of course, is proven to be hazardous to health, and people are always promoting good fats, monosats, which contain HDL which is good.

You did mention that your diet consisted of high protein and fats, PLUS you had solid workout. Simple, the high protein was responsible for your muscles. The reason why the fat did not directly accumulate and cause more fats in your body? They were burnt out since there was no inclusion or minimal inclusion of carbohydrates. The 2 main energy fuel is carbs and fats. So there you go.

You also mentioned meat + fat, which means you're talking about trans fat here, which is high in LDL. That's not very healthy cause it raises your LDL cholesterol, and the numerous side effects of this cholesterol is well known. Therefore, it is of course advisable to consume less fats with LDL.
