PREFACE
i’m currently 6’0 and 120 lbs 15 years old turning 16 in a few months (54.8kg, 182). i’ve been in a very strict calorie deficit prioritising high protein for the past 2 months or so going from 65 down to 55 while building as much muscle as i can. due to the fact hearing the only way to lose face fat is to lose fat in general, which i now learnt is a massive lie.
although my weight might be very low, i think it’s because i still remain at a decent bf, i have a good physique, built upper body / arms but i can’t get my face fat to go away no matter what.
im willing to send my physique & face to anyone interested. i have a great physique for my age; but its just my face holding my back.
i’ve tried limiting sodium as much as possible, taking 800mg of potassium gluconate a day, and drinking 3-4L of water while getting minimum 10-11k steps in.
cardio
i’ve been doing 1.5ish hours of the following everyday for the past month
- 15 incline 4.5 speed (for roughly 45 minutes)
10 minute break on 0 incline 2 speed
- 5.5 incline 4.9 speed for 30 minutes
diet
i try to restrict myself to around 950kcal on weekdays & 1100kcal on weekends, way below my maintenance.
as much as i WANT to prioritise whole foods only, as a student it gets tough money-wise. i start the day with a
usually around 7:20am weekdays, 1pm weekends
- black coffee no sugar (natural diuretic) and a bowl of cereal (plain almond milk and cornflakes, no additional sugars)
lunch is usually a -
protein bar and white monster, not the best but it’s cheap and gets me stuffed so i don’t binge throughout the day.
after lunch, which during weekdays happens after school, i will go to the gym for around 2.5 hours, doing upper body (separate muscle groups on diff days) and always hitting core, lower abs, and A LOT of cardio at the end.
i try to stay as strict as possible with my dinner
- low calorie chicken tortilla (just a basic low-carb 95cal wrap, 150g chicken breast, low fat greek yogurt as a sauce substitute, & salad)
it’s around 85g of protein for the entire day, and around 950 cals.
i HAVEN’T tried (but i look forward to)
- absolutely starving myself for 3 days, then eating protein only for 2 days. eat normally on the weekend, repeat the process on monday
(some diet i saw on instagram)
- diurex
- furosemide, but i highly doubt as it requires a prescription and my parents already think i’m dangerously skinny.
what i HAVE tried
- aggressive cut (sub 1100 cals)
- sodium flush, prioritising potassium & 3.5L a day
- eating at maintenance and building muscle
- eating low calories and building muscle
- lymphatic drainage
with cheekbiting i look insanely good; i don’t look uncanny like most people but i look like how i want to look. sadly, when i release, i go back to my bloatcel look.
i’ve read through this forum for a while before making a message, and a couple things stood out to me.
- will this go away after puberty? do i prioritise DHTmaxxing so i have good bone structure and high testosterone?
- is this water retention or plain fat, i have fat in my thighs & face, THATS IT. no matter how low weight i go, it doesnt go away. probably shit fat deposit genetics, but oh wells
