Does anyone else feel uglier before and a little bit after a fast? Every time I do a fast, I lose weight and my body looks awesome, but my face looks kind of weird to me. I always look so pale and tired during and after it!
I recently completed a 14 day fast (my longest one ever!) and lost a significant amount of weight, including on my face. I should feel prettier since I’ve always had chubby cheeks, but really I just feel like I look so ugly. I think this is just because I’ve gone without vitamins and protein for a while. And because I’ve been doing less exercise while fasting, so I don’t have that “glow.” Hopefully I’ll start to feel prettier soon! In the meantime I will be putting on some fake tan 😫😫
Does anyone else feel the same?
I don’t do extremely long fasts, but I have noticed that fasting and low-carb has a huge impact on my appearance. The good news is if I go back to a more normal diet things tend to even out quickly.
My wife used to say “you can choose your face or your butt“… Which was just a general observation that when you get very thin your body looks great but your face can look a bit haggard.
