Good Grief.....I'm post-accutane for 3 months now and my skin's pretty clear (knocks on wood) and I'm hitting the gym....

my trainer now advised me to take whey protein as a supplement

AND THE GREAT QUESTION IS....

Could whey protein cause acne??? I'm so freakin paranoid after hearing certain rumors on breakouts connected with protein shakes. I HATE TO HAVE ANOTHER BREAKOUT AFTER 6 months of accutane!!!!!

It has not affected my acne in any way in the past 2 years. I've used a few brands. Right now I'm using Optimum Nutrition.

And protein by itself won't do it.

Get plenty of recovery time too.

whey should not break you out at all. whey has never given me a problem

if it does maybe use hemp protein

same here ive been using whey for awhile now and i haven't had n e probs with it

[Adam82]

The only way to know is to try whey and find out. If it does there are alternatives like hemp (like above poster pointed out) or egg protein powders. The only real difference is cost since whey is dirt cheap.

lol.....I think what promotes the acne would be the milk drank with the whey.....

A friend of mine drinks it with water....and seems to have no problem with it

whey with water? i tried that before and almost puked.

whey has never given me any problems with acne

Whey hasn't given me acne problems in the 2 years I've been drinking it.
I actually think it helps my skin because I start breaking out when I stop drinking it.

I drink whey with water all day, I only drink it with milk before I go to bed.
Optimum Gold taste good in water, even better in milk.

I think whey has helped me from breaking out, it seems since I've started drinking it I've stopped breaking out, once I stop I break out again.

personaly i wouldn't risk it, you'll kick yourself if it all flares back up again

Guys Let's say Whey doesnt couse acne!! What about Creatie , Glutamine? Are they couse acne?

[CruJones]

When I used it I had no problems,I think you are gonna be ok here!
