Why do male models starve themselves? Wouldnt the bad hormone levels affect their skin and looks negatively?

What r the downsides in starving regarding looks?

I mean low mood (of course) and general sluggishness.

I am pretty sure that starvation and depression go side by side ig.

It fucks everything, detailed answer below:





  • Brain shrinkage and slowed thinking
  • Depression, anxiety, irritability, and emotional numbness
  • Poor concentration, memory loss, and decision-making problems
  • Increased obsessive thoughts; in severe cases confusion or psychosis
  • Weakening of the heart muscle causing low blood pressure and dizziness
  • Irregular heart rhythms that can be fatal
  • Slow pulse and reduced blood flow to organs
  • Muscle wasting as the body breaks down muscle for fuel
  • Bone loss leading to higher fracture risk...
being lean > everything else

So regardless of the downsides of being underweight, the oart of being underwieght is more important? Why do they starve and bot just caloric deficit like 500 kcal?

It's a harsh industry ig, and they need to meet standards.

The negative impacts of starvation can be counteracted by taking DHT blockers too, to disrupt acne causing hormones.

Mark as solution if ansered.

male models starve briefly to look lean for photos, but if they did it long-term then yea it would fuck their appearance

Yes, your bones will be fucked as your body turns into survival mode and utilises current things.

lean is law but don't get lean like an iqlet sacrificing every other aspect
Its just i really wanna starve myself so baddddd ughhhh. But im scared that it will affect my skin health or faster aging
 
they need to be a small size in modeling. with modeling most clothes come in one straight size as the designer can't afford to tailor every piece to the model's body. you have to fit those standard measurements and with the height expected of models they need to be underweight to achieve that.

don't do it. i did it as a teen and i regret it. it ruined my aesthetics forever. it ruined my skin quality too, i used to have 0 stretch marks before and i wasnt even fat, not even overweight, but losing weight rapidly caused similar marks on my skin all over. (yeah, you can get stretch marks from losing weight too quickly too. crazy.)

also your T takes a pretty bad hit thats very hard coming back from.

and if you're still growing, you will be stuck in your underdeveloped state. your height, face, frame and genitals wont grow to full potential.

17 and look 13, if that's true you probably already have hormonal issues you need to get those checked. starving will only make them worse. for now just eat at BMR (google BMR calculator, you will find some, most use the same system.) and proteinmaxx, like try to eat as much protein as you literally can.

also, if you want to look like "bonespo", thats a serious eating disorder and out of my expertise. i remember seeing that shit and while people wanted to look like it everyone who did was called insane because no matter how good looking you are if you are that thin you automatically have 0 appeal. maybe appeal to some sweaty fat 50 year old with a fetish for anorexic boys. you are thinking about this illogically, so it's a mental issue. you need to understand if you're severely underweight ("bonespo" you talk of usually features men under BMI 14) you will be so disgusting you will become known for being bad looking. once youre that low in weight you will negaitvely affect every aspect of your looks, including nail, skin, vascular health, hormonal health, etc etc, and once you become so underweight its nearly impossible to truely recover in every way and if you try to gain back weight you will almost definitely become skinny fat because working out to serious degrees is impossible when youre at such a low weight.

I had testo 828 ng/dl 6 months ago. And no i want like 16 bmi or smth. I wanna just look like jordan man nothing more. I know that 13 looks ugly and no appeal. And yeah i kinda dont wanna feel tired so i will try to lose muscle mass and bodyfat by a normal 500 kcal deficit, if i see my bones i will stop and mantain

you will feel tired if you starve, what's your BMI now? also bmi 16 is still very low for a male, thats the lowest i myself was and everyone made fun of me for looking like a stickman. also jordan does not have a good physique, he looks like a cancer patient, he just has an insane face that saves him, but even he would look better if he was at a higher weight but just lean.

Without looking at his face, i want this body if not a lil less bpdyfat. I love his collarbones and ribs. Hip bones would be next level. I gained mannn im at 56 kg and 168 which is 19.8 bmi. I would be open to achieve such body by using a low deficit
 
brother you are genuinely insane, if you had his body and even just a mhtn face you would be done for.
Bro genuenly am i that mentally cooked? That looks like a normal body (okay not normal but also not on the extremes)

yeah youre mentalcel. it's okay man me too. but thats not normal and extremely rare, its not too horribly extreme and he probably is around BMI 16 in those photos but if you look like that you will lose major appeal to women. you dont need to be extreme in order to lose major appeal. just proteinmaxx and gymmaxx man starving isn't worth it unless youre an actual morbidly obese whale.

Okay yeah i wont starve cuz i wanna sleep deep and good, but i wanna achieve that body type. If that body would make me lose major appeal (which at this moment i cant really believe) then send me a body type i should aim for. I dont want bigmuscles since im short it would make me look even more bulky

of course. yeah valid.
a physique like this is pretty attainable and you will have high appeal, still thin but not so much so that it'd affect your health.

you've become blind to how bodies look cause you've been in eating disorder circles they look pretty different. also if you ask people with an EATING DISORDER of course they wont think jordan's body is ugly.
