As we age we tend to put on body fat and often times we put on fat in the neck and face resulting in the dreaded double chin. I’ve had lots of people ask me how to “rid double chin” and here are a few easy to follow tips to help you reduce face fat and get a leaner neck that you can be proud of.
1. You Have To Lift Weights – Performing full body strength training 3-4 days per week will help improve your musculature and lose face fat and let’s get real, extra double chin fat is due to excess body fat – that’s the “facts jack.” Full body weightlifting will help you get rid of fat on your face, neck, and the rest of your body.
2. Follow The Rules Of Lean Eating Nutrition (AKA. EAT RIGHT!!) – Monitor your caloric intake and watch what you eat my friend. In order to lose fat you must achieve a calorie deficit (more going out than coming in). Eat lots of veggies, protein with each meal, healthy fats, and ease up on the processed food (if it comes in a box or bag than it won’t help you lose face fat).
3. Improve Your Posture – Sit up straight and retain a good posture. Hold your head high above your shoulders with your jaw slightly jutted throughout the day. I find some dynamic movement exercises that work the entire array of joints in the body do great for this. I follow some of Scott Sonnon’s Warrior Wellness mobility exercises combined with mobility exercises I learned from Dr. Eric Cobb, creator of Z Health.
