Iām doing a combination of keto and IF to reduce my insulin (I have PCOS and am insulin resistant) and am finding that some times during the day my neck is thin and I can feel where my Adamās apple is, but sometimes my chin swells and I get a double chin. Sometimes itās right when I wake up and then it deflates and then comes back when my eating window starts, and sometimes it deflates again throughout the day and then comes back at night while Iām fasting again. Iām drinking a lot of water so I canāt imagine it could be related to dehydrationā¦ any thoughts? Thank you!
Edit: I will add that this doesnāt happen in a cartoonish way like my wording implies š itās more like, itāll feel nice and thin, and then an hour or two later itāll be all puffy, and then a few hours later itāll be thin again, and so on and so forth. Itās really annoying!
Iāve noticed something similar. I wonder if your skin is pulled tighter towards your back when youāve been doing heavy activity due to muscle inflation/enlargment?
Wild guess. But I believe you. I have a beard to hide my double chin, but notice differences in my neck line throughout the day. Maybe Iāll shave the beard off for science to see the double chin action. After winter is over.
I get this too! I think mine is due to tension in my neck and shoulder which causes the front of my neck to shorted and therefore the stretching of the skin give me a double chin. Massage usually helps, and better posture!
