Does this cause zombie o-face?

thats caused by couple things

1) people stretch their skin out so much, it cant snap back. loss of elasticity. happens in the face and everywhere. Especially in the older 40+ crown

2) they are eating very little and still living shitty lifestyle so their hormones, specifically IGF levels are in the basement. For males, testosterone too many times and this causes the loss of muscle and the lack of snap in the skin

3) lack of calories and lack of protein. many on this are eating 1000 cals or less and very very little protein. they are trying to take it off way fast than they put it on


for most on this, they should be shooting for around 1-1.5 lbs of weight loss per week. about 75 in a year. more than that and calories are too low and skin will be stretched and not come back

combine with high protein 40-50% of calories and progressively lifting and you have the bones of a lifetime program that can be followed and will actually make you look better naked


but we see it on the H&F board all the time...people say...only want to do cardio right now until i lose a lot of weight because people want it off and want it gone now




i do find it funny though that multiple people who are confirmed obese through pics or height/weight they have posted are bashing this medicine.
