7:59 PM

7:59 PM

7:59 PM

already knew it wasn't gonna work but i had to "proof" it before being allowed to a dermatologist

8:00 PM

then i asked for accutane and she instantly said yes

8:00 PM

i prefer doing accutane instead of needing to use many products every day

8:01 PM

biggest regret is not knowing about accutane sooner

Bryski

already knew it wasn't gonna work but i had to "proof" it before being allowed to a dermatologist

9:17 PM

but nothing rly worked

9:18 PM

diet as well

9:18 PM

cba to spend more money on products when accutane is just one time (hopefully)

9:19 PM

I don't see a reason not to go on accutane the risk is so small that something actually happens

Bryski

but i tried many treatments

yeh surprised nothing was able to clear that

Bryski

I don't see a reason not to go on accutane the risk is so small that something actually happens

Chip

yeh surprised nothing was able to clear that

Chip

you prob didnt see too high of a dose hey?

40 mg a day rn

9:21 PM

9:21 PM

9:22 PM

Chip

i know a guy that is super sensitive to light and shit

yh i notice that looking at the sun is a tiny bit harder

Bryski

not gonna be vegan for 10 years because i got red spots on my face

vegan is worse for acne imo

maybe like 20% harder not that crazy

9:23 PM

just wear sunglasses

Chip

vegan is worse for acne imo

idk they say dairy and meat gives acne

Bryski

yh i notice that looking at the sun is a tiny bit harder

he has back problems that he blames accutane for

with accutane u still need to eat clean its not oh i have accutane i can eat whatever i want

Chip

he has back problems that he blames accutane for

you can get back problems i think

9:24 PM

but does he work out

Bryski

idk they say dairy and meat gives acne

idk meat not really

if he never stretches or works out ge can't complain lol

9:25 PM

i work out 4x a week and been on accutane and my back is fine

9:25 PM

sometimes i feel it kinda in my back but can't tell if thats from training or accutane

Bryski

if he never stretches or works out ge can't complain lol

lol

9:25 PM

his lower back i think

9:29 PM

has joint pain and shit

9:29 PM

10 yrs later

"dry peeling skin on my face dandruff/flaky scalp" (edited)

Chip

"dry peeling skin on my face dandruff/flaky scalp" (edited)

not accutane either

9:30 PM

u get dry skin cuz of accutane

9:30 PM

if ur not taking the pills ur skin isn't getting dryer

nah it can cause perm changes

9:30 PM

some ppl perma chapped

bro ur not gonna have dry peeling skin because you took accutane 10 years ago lmao

9:31 PM

does he drink a lot

9:32 PM

even with accutane you're not gonna have peeling skin if you put a moisturizer

i think accutane may have masked some underlying issue of his

9:33 PM

but yeh the photo sensitivity he still has surely is from accutane i reckon

the story doesn't make sense

9:33 PM

dry PEELING skin is not just dry skin

idek

9:36 PM

do u drink protein shakes and shit

9:36 PM

casein powders

Chip

do u drink protein shakes and shit

yh

10:50 PM

whey protein

10:50 PM

not every day tho

10:50 PM

just when i need to hit my protein goal

Bryski

just when i need to hit my protein goal

why dont you just eat more meat

6:58 PM

its easy af to hit protein goals with meat

6:58 PM

pork, red meat

6:58 PM

acne studies with whey protein is mixed

6:59 PM

apparently it can raise igf1 when its isolated like that

6:59 PM

pretty sure casein/whey powders messed up my gut

6:59 PM

they also add other filler crap to the powders as well

7:00 PM

i was eating peanuts for extra protein and shit was giving me bad digestive issues

7:00 PM

and the plant based proteins are a meme unless its processed into something like tofu (edited)

7:01 PM

im guessing youre also on a high carb low fat diet too

7:02 PM

probably lean meats like chicken

7:03 PM

working out will tell your body to prioritise muscle growth over healing other tissues, youll need more bioavailable protein

7:04 PM

do you supplement creatine?

Chip

why dont you just eat more meat

that's why i only take it when i need it

8:06 PM

im on a cut

8:06 PM

so can't always afford the calories

8:07 PM

whey protein gives acne yh but i also eat other dairy and im on accutane

8:07 PM

its not bad for u it just gives acne

8:08 PM

i dont see a change in my skin now tho if i take a shake or not

Chip

probably lean meats like chicken

yh

Chip

do you supplement creatine?

yes

Bryski

yes

raw meats

8:11 PM

creatine, carnitine, taurine

?

Bryski

?

you can get those aminos from raw meats

8:13 PM

we all eat cooked dairy and meats so we’re pretty creatine deficient imo

Chip

you can get those aminos from raw meats

do you know how hard it is to get 5g of creatine from food alone

8:14 PM

it's like a whole kg of meat

lol

there's nothing wrong with creatine supplement

Chip

we all eat cooked dairy and meats so we’re pretty creatine deficient imo

but not enough
