Although I’ve always been consistent with my diet and exercise, I have still felt as though I could improve myself in some way. My personal goal was to go from 205 lbs to 195 lbs, while still maintaining all of my muscle. I also wanted to increase my overall strength and testosterone levels.
I lost 9 lbs during my first week, which was way too much weight to lose in such a short period of time. A lot of that weight was water weight. To slow this rate down, I focused my diet around eating more protein than I already was. I found that what worked best for me was maintaining one gram of protein per pound. I took all of my usual supplements, and made sure that my nutrition was still there. To avoid losing muscle mass, I continued my typical work out routine. From that point on, I was consistently losing about 1-2 lbs per week.
Firstly, I got face fillers. The key to doing fillers responsibly is doing one syringe per every 5 lbs of fat. Secondly, I did facial lasers (thank you Jonathon!). This is important to do as you lose weight because it helps you avoid skin laxity. Too much loose skin, specifically around the face, may lead to the eventual need of a face and neck lift. By combining these procedures, you keep your skin looking firm, young, and balanced.
