Looking at a person’s face can give you so many clues about what’s going on inside. To show you what I mean, we’re going to take a look at my own face before and after getting on the keto diet and doing intermittent fasting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. The shape of the face If someone has a round face, they have too much insulin and consume too many carbs. I was also storing a lot of water because, with every gram of glucose stored as glycogen, three grams of water are stored. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. The tissue around the eyes Puffiness under the eyes is a good indication that the kidneys are backed up because of too much fluid retention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. The eyes Bloodshot eyes can indicate a liver problem. This could also be due to a lack of sleep or a deficiency of vitamins B2 and B3. But, usually, it’s a liver problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Under the chin Fat under the chin is due to a spill-off of accumulated fat. This doesn’t just affect how you look. It can cause certain issues like sleep apnea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. The texture of the skin Oily skin can mean the person has a zinc deficiency. It could also mean they have high androgens due to high insulin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. Dry flaky skin Dry, flaky skin could be due to a liver issue and\/or too much omega-6 fatty acids. Cod liver oil contains omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, and vitamin D. Because of this, cod liver oil may help with dry, flaky skin and oily skin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
7. Acne Acne can come from high androgens, which is really too much insulin. Zinc and a change in diet (to Healthy keto) may be beneficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
