Author Topic: whey protien acne? body fortress brand? (Read 9637 times)

Marty Champions · « **on:** February 09, 2008, 02:03:47 PM »

im kinda pissed because the protien is working well in terms of bodyfat reduction and energy. but my guess is that its making my testosterone abnormally high. ive never been the type to get acne but always got a little bit around the mouth when i took tons of protien. so i switched over to soy tastes like crap i add a lil bit of pancake syrup and tastes ok.

i did a search on google and all this shit showed up about whey giving people acne especially around the mouth area. im wondering if this is do to the amount of halogens in it? because i hear they add halogens to alot of processed foods. any you fvckers experience this with whey protien? im guessing ill have to get a more expensive brand or somethin

no its not herpes

yeah dude im totally with you on that!

i dont have acne everywhere but it shure is around my mouth and seemed to come up out of no where.

i require a ton of protien when i want to stay lean or get more ripped, and seemed like the more i was taking the worse it would get

Marty Champions · « **Reply #10 on:** February 09, 2008, 02:26:06 PM »

at first i thought it was from all the cookies and junkfood i was eating latley.

so i cut out all junkfood and started doing a shit load of cardio (wich has always cleaned and cleared up my complexion in the past) and i would take protien halfway through and before i went to bed i noticed a new zit popped up and i was like WTF NIEGAR!

also the protien powder is very sweet tasting too although it only has 2 carbs per serving. somethin is reaaaal fishy with bodyfortress. i have an unopened container i wonder if i can take it back to walmart without a reciept?

Yeah I'm sure the acne could have NOTHING to due with all the weed and other various rec drugs you indulge in

Im using Super Whey Protein by PRECISION ENGINEERED, very nice brand had great results by it, tastes good and is the cheapest i can find, 16 euro 908 grams. Never had any problem with zits caused by protein i think its genetics. you should eat more fruit to clean up the system.

hahah

yeah weed always makes me break out. its the worst when i smoke indoors or even worse when i hotbox. shit raises estrogen levels, and makes compound exercises too cardiovascularly taxing..so i quit.

on the subject of acne and acne scarring...i used to have horrible acne.on my face, chest, back.. now i am all cleared up. (combo of maturing, learning how to wash, and fish oil supplementation) but i have bad scarring.. anybody know a way to get rid of it?? especially on my lower back area..?

GroinkTropin · « **Reply #20 on:** February 09, 2008, 02:42:09 PM »

In all seriousness could be pro-hormones in the powder. Nitro-tech used to have a bunch of shit in it. Check the list of ingrediants, look carefully.

great results with it

you make it sound like a steroid. real food works better either way...

4sho!

however, you cannot deny the fact that there are CERTAIN times in a meal schedule/nutritional plan when whey is a better, more effective option than whole food. mainly, first thing in the morning, before training, and after training.

other than those times of the day...i would NEVER rely on a shake for nutrients/calories. esp. protein. .... whey is pre-digested. i takes zero calories to digest. on of the best things about protein is the fact that it raises the metabolism and takes a bunch of cals to digest... also, whey only last in the body for 90-120 minutes.... where as whole food can last up to a day! (red meat without fiber intake ppost ingestion)

MAXX · « **Reply #24 on:** February 09, 2008, 02:55:32 PM »

why before training?

after training is the only time i see the use for it.
