GOMAD and Acne

[JohnP]

Hi guys and girls.

I want to gain some weight, Im'm 1m75 and weight about 70 kg. My goal wold be about 80 kg, once I reach this, I'll cut.
I've been thinking about going GOMAD but I have acne problem, and drinking lots of milk won't help it. My acne got a lot better recently, after couple of years, but my skin is still not perfect, and I don't want to get this shit back on my face.

There is no way that I know of to get raw milk, so it isn't an option.

I thought about buying some bulking supplement and drink it in shake form, to raise calorie intake(I eat a lot and quite clean). What do you think?

You should try the GOMAD, you can always stop if your acne flares up, but I don't think it will. I can't recommend it enough for muscle gain. It has the ability to increase lean mass in a way that "standard" overeating doesn't. It really is nature's steroid.

I've also got a problem with it, since I'm in the puberty, but It didn't get worse with the GOMAD. You could get fish oil to fix your skin..

I had real bad acne when I was younger, though I've been clear for years. I haven't had any acne and I've consumed A LOT of milk this year

So you plan to gain weight then lose it again?

I'm 14 in less than 2 months & I'm not getting Acne from drinking milk.

Thanks for answers, maybe I'll try gomad and see what it does.

I'm 20 yo and worst days of my acne are hopefully gone.

When I reach 80 kg then I'll focus on losing fat, not losing weight.

Right now I'm taking about 3-6 grams of fish oil per day, it helped my skin a lot. Zinc - 30-45 mg daily.

What's your current lifts?

Try the GOMAD and see if it aggravates the acne, but I don't see how it would.

[JohnP]

Diet is related to acne. Strongly. I see it by my own example. Plus, besides acne, most of diseases are diet related .
My lifts:
squat 5x5 - 80 kg
press 5x5 - 70 kg
ohp 5x5 - 42,5 kg
deadlift 3x5 95 kg 1 rep max - 130kg.

And I know that increased testosterone makes acne worse, but increased testosterone also makes you don't care

GOMAD will aggravate your acne and it will make you reach your goal. Make a choice.

never heard of fish oil to fix skin problems. can someone elaborate how this works?

[JohnP]

So, I've started drinking lots of milk three days ago. Not exactly a gallon, but at least 2 - 3 l a day,and I don't see any changes on my face.
On the other hand I'm experiencing digestion problems but thats not the topic

Lactaid and time. What is your ethnicity?

wow Jcraig, that's a really interesting wikipedia link!!! it seems somewhat accurate too, for instance I'm chinese, and apparently 95% of us are lactose intolerant!!! Which makes sense since my mother and two of my sisters can't drink milk at all lol. I'm lucky I guess, I can manage 1L per day without problems =P

I have this problem too, and I've been told by the doctor to cut down on foods with saturated fat while I try to get rid of the acne. I've noticed that if I eat cheese, no matter how little, my face will flare up 2-3 days later. Guess I'll have to find another way of gaining the weight until my acne treatment ends in 11 weeks.
