a trivial question about lean diets

[Elwood54]

a somewhat heavy set gym buddy of mine and i were having a discussion.he tells me he wants to lose the extra thickness on his face, and his forming double chin. basically i told him to start lean dieting (6 meals a day etc) and it should get him somewhere.

this may be a stupid thing to ask, but did i give him the correct advice? the man wants a sleeker face and more defined cheeks, is there something better that he can do for himself rather than what i told him?

Although some facial features (eg: good cheekbones etc) is somewhat based on genetics then a weight loss diet, in conjunction with a healthy training program (weights +/- cardio) would be the the best chance he has of loosing the double chin.... Unless your friend is someone who would go for liposuction.

sounds good, guess i'd better relay that to him

Some people somehow can´t lose that fat in the face, it is a mystery to me too. Plastic surgery if a cutting doesn´t work is the only option. He could try facial exercises but I really don´t think that is gonna work.

is he lean everywhere else?

if he is "heavy set" and "forming a double chin" as you put it, yeah the guy needs to lose weight/fat and his face should lean up as well.

hes not too big. just a little thick.
