Hey everyone, NROL's been treating me great and Im in check for my goals, but as far as my PWO shake goes, it needs a change. I've been having mild breakouts since I started working out a long time ago. Never thought much of it, they came and went, no biggie. But lately, ithas been bothering me, so I asked a friend of the family who is a dermotologist and she said sometimes food and drink productions that are dairy based can cause that type of skin irritation. So, if that is true, it makes sense. I drink skim chocolate milk mixed with all my supplements everyday for PWO. And I eat quite a bit of yogurt. So my plan is to cut it out and see what happens with the breakouts. My question is though, what do I used for a PWO shake instead? I've heard gatorade powder works well bit I can not find it around here for the life of me so I need some other options.
Can anyone help.
Thanks.
I've read about dextrose and maltodextrin but I dont really know enough about them to determine what I need.
The simplest PWO shake is Gatorade powder + whey protein powder. I realize whey is still a dairy product, but it's usually okay for lactose-intolerant people, so maybe it won't aggravate the skin condition? That's just a guess.
General rule of thumb is protein + carbohydrates for PWO.

If you can't find gatorade powder, any type of carb will do. rice, bread, bananas, it's all good.
And if you can't have whey, egg whites work pretty well.

I drink this during and after every work-out. It's great.
I hadn't thought of Orange Julius - It reminds me of the frozen orange push-pops we ate as kids.
I've found I can get the 32 oz bottles of Gatorade for $1, pour into a pitcher, mix in 2 scoops of whey and 5g creatine, and pour it back into the bottle. You've got enough for the pre/during and post WO drink.
I would get a second opinion on the cause of the breakouts. It might have nothing to do with your food and more to do with your regimen before and after a workout where you sweat a lot. Try getting a toner of some kind to clean your skin after a workout.
Acné is related to allergies and it could indeed be caused by the lactose.
Try having just solid carbs after the workout, like rice cakes or dates (I'm loving dates myself) and eat some protein with it.
Besides, pre-workout carbs/protein is more important.
can someone help me out for PWO?
