Many friends who try very hard to lose weight and really lose weight have a problem:
Why do I lose weight all over my body, have a small belly, have thin elephant legs and unicorn arms, but my face is still fleshy and chubby?
Clearly, I lost dozens of pounds and lost almost a flash of lightning, but my [face] was still very big and the top and bottom were not in harmony.
Let’s take a look at it from the beginning. Why is the face big?
There are many reasons for a big face.
1. Fat accumulation type big face
The cheeks are round, fleshy and strong, and the facial profile is not clear, which is the real fat face. The accumulation of subcutaneous fat on the cheeks and the decline of facial muscles are the causes of facial obesity and unclear outline.
2. Masseter muscle fat big face
Eating too much hard or chewy food such as nuts, fried beans, shredded squid and chewing gum will lead to more use of masseter muscle, which may lead to over-development of chin muscle and hypertrophy of mandibular angle muscle.
Therefore, in general, we should avoid or eat less of this kind of food as much as possible to avoid excessive use of masseter muscle and soften the lines of the face.
3. Large face with flabby skin
Age growth, functional decline, coupled with years of sun exposure, make the content of cellulose and collagen in the dermis layer reduce, skin elasticity decreases, no longer firm, gradually aging, giving people a feeling of bloated chaos.
4. Edema-type large face
Some friends’ body metabolism speed is slower than that of ordinary people, and the corresponding water circulation speed is also very slow, which is characterized by easy edema, especially the face is easy to swell into pig head.
There are also a very small number of friends who suffer from systemic edema due to special diseases, such as hypothyroidism.
5. Big skeleton and big face
This kind of face is large, in fact, has nothing to do with fat and muscle, but is only shown by bone contour.
The first four kinds of big faces can be changed through the influence of exercise on muscle, fat and water metabolism. Only bones are not easy to change after development and setting, so that some beauty lovers have chosen [bone cutting] plastic surgery.
Slimming face is harder than slimming! Difficult! Difficult!
Weight loss is essentially a process of reducing the volume of adipose tissue, which is distributed in neck, waist, buttocks, abdomen and other parts.
For normal adults (non-obese patients), the thickness of facial fat is much thinner than the subcutaneous fat layer on the trunk of the body.
Therefore, when losing weight, the fat in the trunk of the body decreases much more than that in the face, and the effect of slimming the face is not as significant as slimming.
In addition, affected by differences in gene and metabolic ability, some people are more likely to have fat belly and upper body first, while others are more likely to have fat legs, lower body or face first.
By the same token, there are individual differences as to whether the face is easy to be thin first or always thin last: one cannot envy or complain.
Why is the weight lost, but the face is still very big?
Those friends who have lost 20 to 30 kilograms or more, but their faces are not very thin, actually have one thing in common, that is, not only their faces are big, but also their faces are loose.
From the result derivation process, how thin are such friends? Diet!
Some people may deny saying [I eat], then call it [low calorie diet].
Some also exercise crazily during the diet and lose weight rapidly. Others do little or less exercise and decrease relatively slowly.
The problem with fast weight loss on a low-calorie diet lies in the lack of sufficient nutritional support and intensive exercise, and only a small part of the weight loss is fat.
At the beginning of the week or so, a large amount of water was lost, and then for a long time, precious muscles, precious organ components and a small amount of fat were lost.
However, the face is originally the part with relatively little muscle and water. During the whole process of rapid weight loss, the muscles of the face lose, the skin becomes loose, and the facial fat becomes more difficult to consume after the muscles become less, so the big face is still the same big face.
How can I slim my face
We said, [there is no local weight loss]; And cruelly, [some parts cannot lose weight].
Remember, where there is less muscle, there is more fat.
If you have a big face or want to lose weight, please pay attention to the following points:
1. Strengthen the whole body exercise: For friends whose weight is within the normal range, pay attention not to only do aerobic exercise, but to do more resistance training and strength training to strengthen the muscle mass of the whole body;
2. Do more facial activities: it may not have strong weight loss effect, but it is beneficial; Also, don’t be afraid of masseter muscle getting bigger, because it is not easy to grow up as expected.
3. Proper diet control, but not diet, to ensure sufficient quality protein;
4. The speed of weight loss is not too fast, especially for the first time: the average speed of 0.5 ~ 1kg per week is reasonable;
As for beauty methods such as face thinning needle, it only has the effect of weakening muscles in a short period of time for thin people with less facial fat and small facial skeleton. It is not used for what for fat people with large, loose, square and round faces.
