I've mentioned before I've been doing aggressive 16/8 or 18/6 intermittent fasting with 100+ g protein per day and biking 3-4 x/week to cut my body fat for at least 6 months now. It's been successful and my BF is down from >20% skinny fat to around 12% skinny.
I've been happy overall with the change. For the first time in my life I can sort of see my abs though they're nowhere near the 8% roided Hollywood standard. But the worse part has been facially.
I always have found it funny when people talk about how losing body fat is supposed to make you better looking. I mean - how exactly is that supposed to work?
If you have zero cheekbones, how is losing facial fat going to accomplish anything except making you look more melted? Or your eyes more hollow? If you have a crooked or badly formed jaw, why would losing fat to accentuate that help you either?
In the past few months, I look like I've aged 3-5 years just from how hollowed out and gaunt my face has become.
You truly can't win in this life. I'm still gonna keep going because I've always been ugly. It's nothing new. I just want before I get too old and busted to be "buff" for once in my life. So that remains my goal. But don't buy the lies that "losing body fat will make you more handsome." Yeah, maybe if you have a perfect face to begin with. Doesn't work when the bones are shit.
