This is gonna be long so skip to the numbers if you don't have time to read this entire thing.
I said I was going to lean max, and now I did. Here are the results. Yeah yeah I know I tweaked some lighting and angles here and there, but if you look at both lit corners of my cheeks, there's a noticeable difference. Which is more cheekbone definition from fat loss. You can see that it looks like someone cut off a piece of my face off. Right around the cheekbone and maxilla area. About half an inch below the eye area, you see it, do you? Yes. Right there. I did not photoshop that. There is no photo shop in the picture. Just good old fashioned results. Since ive gotten a little bit of results with this I wanted to give you some tips. Ok time for the tips here they are:
1. The number one way to improve facial aesthetics outside of surgery is body fat loss. I do not care what your weight and height is. Gym maxxers and health maxxers, this is not the post for you. Even if you are 5'9" and 150 pounds, if you have a fat face, YOU NEED TO LOSE SOME DAMN WEIGHT. YEAH YOU HAVE 6 PACK ABS BUT YOUR FACE LOOKS LIKE A FUCKIN BABY. According to Mike Israetell the bodybuilder, there is a 5-10 pound lee way when it comes to BMI in both directions. So you need to be between 18-25 BMI instead of 18.5-24.9. Back to the 150 lb guy example, maybe you are better at 120. Just an idea.
2. After you lose fat, you must exercise the face to enhance what's already there. Much like getting abs. Although its probably not going to add real results, it can give your face a muscle pump during the day which gives off the illusion of a more aesthetic face. Best routine is high rep chewing and sucking exercises. 3 times per week. 3 x 10 rep scheme. Also, any of the brand name chewing fitness equipment - jawsersize and the other one forgot what its called can work too.
3. This one is up in the air. Because the research is not clear. But for more OCD people read this tip - ok so, when it comes to sodium levels, you need to keep them in check. 2300 mg seems to be the limit for most so if you're too lazy to do research just go with that. but some people have different experiences. and the anecdotal research is very much divided. I myself tend to have an upper limit of around 3500 - sometimes 5000 - before I start to retain water. Greg Doucette eats up to 7000 mg. But I know that some people are more sensitive to salt like women and black people. Bottom line - just test out different levels to see what affects you - start at 2300 mg per day, go from there.
4. Get a spray tan. I have a spray tan in the second photo. This is actually one of the top things to do for facial aesthetics because it makes you look leaner instantly. This is why bodybuilders use it. The way light reflects off a dark surface is different then a lighter surface. When you are pale, the light tends to make you look more baby faced even if you aren't because you can't see the contours in your face as good. With a tan, the light doesn't hide the definition in your face. So get a spray tan, not a real one because it will give you wrinkles. Unless of course you are a Mexican or black.
5. Have a baseline of "ok" genetics. If you are someone like black ops cel, this guide is not really going to help you. if that's the case, surgery max. For example I have a small percentage of Native American in my genes from my grandmother so I can get some of the cheekbone definition and use it to my advantage. But I have flaws in other places like my chin and eyes given to me by my dads genes that can never be fixed without surgery. But I enhanced that strength that I had and it made my face look a lot better without improving other things.
I am obviously no expert in lean maxing, but I have gotten SOME results doing it. And more importantly, ive gotten REALISTIC results that give people actual expectations. Look, if this was a magic trick, we wouldn't be here and wed all look like Astrosky, but were not Astrosky, were not the curry cel from the other month who got results lean maxing, were not David Laid, or Jeff Seed. We are real fuckin people. A lot of us are in fact ugly. But we have to make the most of our ugliness. Maybe a guy who's a 1 on the looks scale can go to a 1.5 with lean maxing. He's still fucked, but maybe he gets a small raise at work for losing weight or something like that. His life is still better than it was before. Same goes for anyone else out there.
Side notes:
1. Some key features you want to get with lean maxing the face are: cheekbone definition, hollow cheeks, jawline, and maxilla definition. Those are the meat and potato's of facial fitness. If you get down to as lean as possible, Like 1 percent body fat and still don't have these things, it may be that you are just not built well bone wise. Then its time to surgery max.
2. Bonus tip - not really lean maxing related - colored contacts can add to your facial SMV, if all other things are optimized. As we know blue and green eyes tend to be the top tier colors, and its not hard to find that color of contacts. Try those out.
3. There has been some research done by James Nestor to suggest that what we eat, and how we breath impacts the aesthetic of the face. His theory is that the Western Diet of soft foods and mouth breathing has caused Americans to have recessed jaws and faces. I personally agree. I have noticed that ever since ive been mewing, my face looks a lot better than it did when I was a teenager despite what body fat level im at. I know some people here have sleep apnea, I do as well. Its improved with mewing. I also have been taping my mouth at night which helps too. Not just with sleep, but facial aesthetics too.
4. https://www.quora.com/Why-does-my-upper-lip-becomes-thin-and-curves-upward-when-I-smile This article is on the topic of lip aesthetics. Apparently some people have overly active lip muscles that flex when they smile, giving them a strange look when they smile. I personally notice this when I notice I look uglier on Facebook. Why? I am always smiling. And my lips look too thin when I do. You can fix this with lip muscle relaxants injected in your lips. Or by just mouth smiling or not smiling at all.
If there's nothing else you take away from this - just know the best way to lean max for the face is to lose weight.
