Dude, you can get acne from about a zillion different things. Has anything else changed in the past few weeks?

not in terms of nutrition

exactly my point bro. You've changed your protien, what else has changed. I break out when I change soaps, laundry detergent, and a multitude of other shit that has nothing to do with nutrition.

depending on your age/training level, increased acne can be a good thing as it is usually associated with a raise in hormone levels. I doubt your protien is having that effect though.

There are just too many variables to make a determination, if its that bothersome, go check with a dermatologist. (just dont let him put you on accutane)

Why is accutane bad? I thought it was suppose to clear up ANY acne? Lower test levels or something?

I think it was causing Suicidal Thoughts or Actions

Yeah there were over a hundred suicides linked to it. Also birth defects or fetal death and all sorts of other problems.

too much protien causes acne. i read it in a magazine and i have proof with my body. i added 3 protien shakes a day to my diet and i started to get alot of achne on by back, arms, shoulders, and chest, not as much my face but i still got some. i had alot of acne for like 3 months while i was taking protien shakes and it went away when i stoped.

I could train the same all year round and get big or get ripped just by eating different and taking different supplements"

	Eric3237's Sig:"Not everyone trains for strength": True. Not everyone one is smart either. Personally, I'm training to be an olympic sprinter so I can have big legs. I also like to move huge boulders because I like the way they look over there...
