She eats a meat bun for breakfast, a Taiwanese-style biandang 便當 lunchbox, and noodles or dumplings in the evening. She's seen doctors about her acne, and still sometimes visits when there's particularly big or painful zits.
It got much better when she was in Australia on Working Holiday, when she worked outside on a farm and was eating a more Western diet, she was less stressed, and the air was less polluted. Our agreed plan is to try to move to another country (probably New Zealand or Australia, perhaps Canada) anyway, which should solve my nationality issues and her health issues.
In the meantime, I don't mind spending romantic moments popping her zits, haha. I think it's kind of cute.
Meat bun for breakfast, biandang for lunch and dumplings for dinner sounds like a hell of lot of red meat -- aka the Western diet.
If I were her I'd try to cut out the animal products for a month and see what that does. It might not work and then you've at least eliminated a variable.
Also remember that the average medical doctor never had to take a single human nutrition course. Some doctors have done quite a bit of additional studying and are up-to-date on nutrition research and findings but most probably just see the same flawed headlines most Americans do.
Many Chinese that I knew in Beijing had bad bouts with acne with little western food in their diets. I bet it has more to do with pollution than diet in their cases.
