Does milk make your skin look thicker?

[ADB007]

A guy in my gym told me not to use juice while cutting because it will make my skin look thicker. is that true?

[Noles12]

What are you talking about milk, fruit juice, or AAS

[ADB007]

sorry I meant milk. as in cows milk

I've heard dairy can cause a little bloat and a soft look.
I guess for me I've not noticed it personally until recently I've not been lean enough anyways to know the difference, I've heard the same about sodium.

I believe it is related to an allergic reaction.

I've always heard this as well, but have not experienced it personally. I don't consume very much dairy, but I do have some milk in my oatmeal and coffee. I also have some yogurt with my oats. I stay below 10% most of the time, so I'm already lean and never notice any effects. Maybe because I don't consume very much. I'd say experiment with it if you're interested in adding it to your diet.

I'm with everyone else. Unless you have specific food intolerances then I think the milk = soft skin/bloat is a myth.

I think it is only applicable if you are already very lean and looking to compete... Otherwise I don't think it makes a noticable difference

Sodium may make your skin look thick because sodium (a fancy name for salt, basically) retains water inside your skin and muscles. A lot of IV's and stuff have a fair sodium content, and they are used when someone is dehydrated, not only to replenish fluids but to ensure fluid retention. As far as diary making skin look thicker, I dunno about all that, but sodium very well may because of it's retention properties. PM fireguy and ask him, I guarantee he'll know

I am extremely lean. Look at my most recent pics, they were taken 3 months ago. I am even much more lean now
