Losing face fat can be a big challenge. And having a fat face is worse than having excess fat in other areas of your body because you can’t hide your face with clothes. Granted you could wear a ski mask, but everyone will think you are a burglar, and that’s worse than having a chubby face 🙂
Unfortunately, you can’t spot reduce and lose fat directly from the face alone (without going under the knife). But there are some things that you can do to help reduce the look of having chubby cheeks and a puffy face.
The face can be very sensitive to fluid retention. If you are retaining water for whatever reason, be it diet, medication, stress, lack of sleep, etc. this can cause your face to look fat and puffy. So make sure to get adequate rest and eat a well balanced diet with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables to help minimize fluid retention. Also be sure to drink plenty of pure water during the day, the more water you drink, the more toxins your body will flush out, and this will cause you to retain LESS water than not drinking enough water. (Kind of the opposite of what most people think).
But the root cause of having a fat face is usually being overweight. So if you are carrying a few extra pounds, your face will show it. And everyone carry’s stubborn bodyfat slightly different. While a lot of people store fat around the belly, some store it in the hips and thighs, others may store it in flabby arms, and if you are reading this than you probably store some of your stubborn bodyfat from the neck up. And what makes stubborn bodyfat so “stubborn” is it’s generally the first place we gain fat, but the last place we lose fat. So losing stubborn face fat is going to take some work.
The most important thing is plain old diet and exercise (I know you probably don’t want to hear this, but it’s true). When you lose bodyfat from your body, you’ll lose it all over, including your face. So the leaner you get, the leaner your face will get as well. Now it will be a slower process than losing inches from your belly, but rest assured that your face will slim down if you are consistent.
Some simple tips to get started in the right direction include:
1) increase your cardio.
This can be going for a daily walk outside or doing some extra cardio at the gym. Strive to get at least 30 minutes of cardio per day and more if you can.
2) add more veggies to your diet.
Rather than thinking about what foods you have to stop eating, switch your thinking to what you can add to your diet that’s good for you. When you increase your intake of fresh vegetables and fruit you’ll naturally eat less processed foods and refined carbohydrates which can cause you to gain fat and retain fluid. Make it a habit to eat a couple of servings of vegetables and / or fruit with each and every meal. Even if it takes some will power at first. The thing about veggies is the more you eat them, the more you’ll start to like them. And eventually you’ll get to the point where you actually crave vegetables!
