It sounds fashionable but cutting down on carbs is something to consider if you want to lose weight on your face. Especially refined carbohydrates like white flour, white rice, white bread, pastries, pasta, sodas, snacks, etc. Heartbreaking? Yes, but it’s worth it. Save it for the occasional eating. You should also opt for alternatives to carbohydrate food sources such as brown rice and oatmeal bread.

#3. Limit processed foods intake

Several studies have linked processed foods and drinks with increased risk of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. Avoid processed foods as much as possible and consume whole foods such as fresh vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats instead. A diet high in trans fats, fast food, and sugary drinks lead to general weight gain by causing your blood sugar to spike and signaling the body to store up fat, which eventually shows up on the face.

#4. Use de-puffing tools

Certain vegetable and seed oils, which are used in some processed foods, are known to cause an inflammatory response in the body. Some point to vegetables like tomatoes, aubergine, and peppers — all part of the nightshade family (Solanaceae) — as possible culprits when it comes to facial “swelling.” Fill your diet with anti-inflammatory foods such as turmeric, oily fish, blueberries, and cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and kale. To aid good gut health, you can also add probiotic foods to your diets such as sourdough bread, natural yogurt, kefir, miso, and sauerkraut.

#6. Get some more sleep

Sleep deprivation is a one-way ticket to eye bags and a puffy face but deeper than that is the connection between an unhealthy sleep pattern and hormones. When you don’t get enough sleep, it triggers the release of certain hormones which automatically increase your appetite. Now you can see the link between insomnia and midnight snacking, and ultimately, weight gain. The solution? Get a minimum of seven to eight hours of sleep each night. Playing catch up with your sleep will not easily reverse the damage caused by losing hours of sleep each night. Simply put, now’s the right time to take sleeping seriously.

#7. Avoid excessive drinking

The reason why you might be adding weight on your face could be alcohol-related because alcohol is basically sugar and calories and it also leaves the face bloated. Avoid daily consumption of alcohol and if you must, a glass a day is fine. Anything more could be tilting towards excessive drinking. Need a much better alternative that will actually help you lose weight from your face? Drink more water!

When the body is dehydrated, our organs react by trying to hold on to as much water as possible. When dehydration leads to water retention, the most visible sign of the cycle is a puffy face, especially when we wake up. Women are advised to drink 10-11 cups of water from fluid and non-fluid sources daily, while men need 15-16 cups for overall health.
