I think the metabolic typing diet only works for people because they are encouraged to stay away from processed foods. Processed foods are the real culprit in acne and many other health disorders. Your ratio of carbs, fat, and protein has little to do with acne. Your ratio of these is determined by your level of activity. If your trying to build muscle, your going to really need to eat at the minimum 100 grams of protein a day. If your like most people though as long as you stay away from proccessed foods and are eating enough calories and the proper amount of nutrients, your gonna be fine.
For optimal health though, not just clear skin, I really think the raw food diet is the best diet you could have. Eat primarily raw vegetables and fruits for a significant amount of time and you will notice a dramatic health increase. The best thing to do is just stay away from possibly toxic foods like gluten, lactose, and soy, as well as anything heavily processed.
Of course, healthy clear skin also involves a lot more than this guy is talking about. It involves hygeine, as well as the complex emotional issues that lead people to pick at their face.
As for antibiotics. Sure, they might clear up your skin. They will also be disasterous for your overall health.
