Lactose and thin skin . Is there a conection ?

[VictorBR]

Is it true that lactose can make your skin look bad .

I mean we all want that paper thin looking on the skin .

I have 2 BB friends that competes and they cut off ALL lactose when doing pre contest diet .

When I am dieting I use yogurt and low fat cottage cheese , those are derivative of milk and contain lactose .

I was thinking in dropping them for my upcoming cutting diet ..

So , what is the deal with lactose ?

anyone ?

I LOVE MILK!!! I drink more than I can afford.
I've heard things like this a lot, but my skin always looks thin, even at 13-15% I can see veins in my chest...

You are right. Lots of competitors eliminate milk for pre-contest diet. I have to have a little myself. I can't choke down protein without it.

Skin gets thinner with age, naturally my skin is thicker, so that kinda sucks.

I do not think it is the lactose as much as it is the fat in products with lactose.

I never eat dairy products during my pre contest diet. I've found that a lot of people, including myself, have a mild allergic reaction to many dairy products causes one to retain water. It doesn't make the skin thicker, but it does appear to be from the increased water retention.
