diet is cope, and here are reasons why + why it matters to an extent
genetic momentum > lifestyle
some people win the genetic lottery so hard that no amount of bad food, no sleep, or dehydration can ruin them
their bone structure and facial ratios are too strong to collapse
bone structure is king
you can’t “eat” your way to hunter eyes or a compact orbital
if your maxilla grew right during puberty, no diet can undo or replace that
structure > surface
hormonal baseline is inherited
testosterone, growth hormone, estrogen balance — mostly genetically pre-set
if your parents had elite hormone levels during your conception and pregnancy, you were built different before birth
natural fat distribution
some people get fat and still look hot because their face stores fat evenly
others lose weight and look worse — it’s about how your face holds volume
diet won’t change your facial fat genetics
skin resilience isn’t earned
some people sleep 3 hours, never wash their face, drink alcohol, eat junk
still no acne, no eye bags, glowing skin
others eat clean and still break out — skin health is often just luck
muscle insertions over muscle mass
you can bulk for years and never look as aesthetic as someone skinny with elite insertions
even with no gym, some people have perfect shoulder-to-waist ratios and tight muscle bellies
diet won’t fix proportions
narrow frame = eternal mid
if your skeleton is narrow, you can eat liver, fast, mew, train — still look average
meanwhile, some wide-set guy with no effort looks intimidating in a white t-shirt
epigenetics > diet
how your ancestors lived affects your current genes
if you're eating clean but your parents were malnourished or stressed, your genes are starting at a disadvantage
diet alone won’t override epigenetic damage instantly
cope is thinking beauty is earned
it makes people feel better to believe they can “grind” into beauty
truth is — a lot of people are just born into it
the rest are just optimizing scraps
not saying diet doesn’t help — it’s just not the main character
genes, bone, and hormone blueprint dominate
some people glow even when they do everything “wrong” that’s just how it is
BUT, what if i told you diet is still necessary
diet won’t make you a chad — but if you’re not genetically gifted, it’s your only hope
here’s why it actually matters (for most people):
diet = foundation, not magic
it won’t give you hunter eyes or a greek jaw
but it will un-bloat your face, reveal your real structure, clear your skin, and balance your hormones
without it, you’re sabotaging your potential
modern food destroys looks
refined seed oils, excess omega 6, sugar, processed grains — all promote inflammation, puffiness, acne, and estrogen dominance
most average-looking people today aren’t ugly — they’re inflamed
bone expression depends on early diet
if you’re young, nutrient-rich foods (k2, d3, magnesium, zinc) can help the skull grow properly
if you’re older, those same nutrients can maintain bone mass and density — slow facial collapse
hormones are built from nutrients
testosterone, estrogen, and even neurotransmitters like dopamine rely on fat-soluble vitamins, amino acids, and cholesterol
no raw materials = hormonal imbalance = worse skin, energy, and sexual dimorphism
gut health = skin health
acne, dull skin, discoloration — often tied to digestion, microbiome, and liver function
clean diet clears skin from the inside — no serum can replace that
fat storage changes your entire face
diet controls water retention, insulin spikes, and cortisol
bloating can make eyes smaller, jawline disappear, and cheeks puff out
diet won’t give you bone — but it can reveal it
epigenetics respond to inputs
your genes are fixed — but how they express depends on your environment
eat like your ancestors and your body remembers
eat modern slop and you mute your best traits
diet = multiplier effect
you might not become a 10
but with diet, you go from a 5 to a 7
without it, you stay a bloated 5 forever
it’s not about chasing perfection
it’s about creating conditions where your best genetic version shows up
most people never see their peak self because they’re malnourished on a cellular level
yes, diet is cope , but it’s the necessary kind
you can’t change your genes, but you can stop suppressing them
and in a world where 90% are living on junk, clean diet is a cheat code
