Hello all! This is my first actual post on the forum here, however i have been around on the forum for about 3 years as i am going on my third year of PUFA depletion, i watch Ray's, Georgi's, and Danny's videos alot and do alot of my own research to learn as much as i can,
I wanted to share some results with everyone that ive achieved as i don't see much people posting pictures on here actually giving proof to their testimonies and changes while on a peat diet,
For me one issue i always had was the struggle with the quote on quote "moonface" i have always been extremely athletic, always had a 6 pack low body fat however my face used to look extremely bloated and estrogenic, i used to consume 100+ grams of PUFA per day and when i discovered Ray Peat, i cut that down to about 0.5 per day,
Here is some results in terms of changes in my facial appearence not just from PUFA depletion but from a Peat inspired diet in all of its regards, not only have i seen reduction in bloating and the estrogenic appearence, my face i feel is progressing more towards an androgenic looking state, my bone structure such as cheekbones and jawline i feel has become more pronounced, and this reminds more of looking at the posts showing how androgenic hormones and vitamins such as pregnenalone and vitamin K affect bone structure especially in the face
So while looking at the pictures here's some things to keep in mind, the pictures where my face was really bloated were all from 2017, the pictures with results now were in 2019, however most of them were taken in winter, with the exception of the last ones with me in a white tshirt those were taken today! and the other pictures where my face is large in one and the one put beside it is slim. But yes some things to keep in mind, i still struggle with health issues mainly ibs/high serotonin and estrogen issues is what i believe i still have dark circles under my eyes and some loose skin and wrinkles on the forehead from stress that are not visible in the pictures that much,
In all pictures you can see i was always fit and low body fat decent muscle mass its just in the ones from 2017 you can see even with being very toned i still had a very chubby looking face, the reason i wanted to post so many pictures is because im always looking for testimonies on here, and i see alot of people talking about great results but ive rarely seen people actually post pictures proving anything, so i wanted to provide some for myself so hopefully it can help some people out when questioning some changes to be seen on a peat diet.
So 2017 i was about 175-180 pounds, and fastforward to 2019 in winter i dropped down really low from stress (aka PUFA burning?) And bad ibs to 145 pounds, since then im about 170 pounds now in summer but even with bringing my weight back up close to what it was before in 2017, my face has still retained its shape without going towards the moon face.
So hopefully providing actual pictures in regards to a Peat style diet and PUFA depletion diet helps in terms of showing results, if anyone has any questions let me know i would also be curious to see if anyone else has achieved some really great results! Thanks again cheers!
