Acne/Spots

[Rinnie]

have been weighttraining for about 14weeks.
I started to take a Soya protein supplement but after a few weeks, broke out
in loads of spots. I stopped the supplement and the spots went.

I would love to add some extra protein to my diet in this sort of way. Does
anyone else have this problem? does anyone know whether soya causes acne
and/or what ingredient it may be?
What about Milk/egg or Whey protein? Will that have anything in it than can
cause acne?

Cheers

When you start working out your hormones go through changes, that leads to acne. IMO you should not worry about it, it will go away in a few weeks.
Probably what soya caused was not acne, it was a lot of little boobs in your body.

I would guess you were allergic to something in the Soya. I imagine it is soy protein so try another type as you suggested. I used to get hives from eggs, luckily not anymore.
