This yellow can be a sign of low thyroid function, as thyroid is required to
convert carotene (yellow) to vitamin A (colorless).    When I was a
vegetarian, I always had that yellow look.  Now I eat nearly as much
carotene-rich vegetables, but with lots of protein, and my skin is not
yellow.  My body temperature is also higher than when I was vegetarian
(though still not normal); so I believe that eating lots of animal products
and eliminating agricultural foods has improved my thyroid function .
