Hey /fit
>be me
>have 9/10 facial aesthetics when perfectly hydrated/REALLY low sodium diet
>most of the time the skin around my eyes puffs up to a lesser extent than pic related
>go to 7/10
>sometimes after cheat meal I wake up and I'm pretty much a fucking 4/10
So my water retaining genetics are complete shit, my old man currently has perma-eyebags, too.
If I even eat more than 1 gram (1000mg) of sodium a day, my eyes get puffy, it depends how much sodium. I try everything, bananas, potassium pills, shit ton of water (i feel like it makes it worse sometimes), coffee (which used to work until my body developed caffeine resistance), and it's pretty depressing how one day I can have all the sl00tz mirin wherever I go, then the other day I'm just the average faggot stuck on "seen" (or R if you use kik) My last resort seems to be buying diuretic from cvs, but I hear they're pretty dangerous. In the summer maybe I could go for REALLY low sodium diet because it helps me cut too, but I'm currently bulking up.
>tl;dr help me get rid of puffy eyes maybe even a night before.
try a cold press like bateman
Drink lots of water. Take a hot shower or go to a sauna so you sweat. Drink more water.
Are you telling me that the bags around my eyes are related to excessive sodium consumption? This is huge.
Quit caring so much about small stuff man.

gonna watch this movie
friend's girl was watching it on her iPad, was peaking and saw his whole ritual
>>35467760
Every day I take a hot shower in the morning because it's like 25 f
>>35467766
I guess? I know mine are because they go away if I spend all day at six flags for example and just eat ice cream and sweat like scooby, wake up looking looking like a model, too bad my social skills are way below average.
>>35467791
this "small stuff" means potential pussy for me man, aren't we all tired of our hand?
bump for trump
make my facial aesthetics great again
>>35467827
No ones playing that close attention to your eye bags. No one gives a shit guy.
>>35467919
It's not just my eyebags bro, it's the skin AROUND my eye
My eyes get a lot smaller, and sometimes the retention is asymmetrical, giving me dat Forrest Whittaker look
To compare, look at that daddy's home trailers with mark whalburg, he looks bloated as fuck, but just search a good picture of him and he suddenly looks model tier

I WEIGHT MY SODIUM INTAKE

>>35468025
I agree, I will try a low sodium diet. It makes me look like a china man when I eat In-n-out and I pack on the salt.
>>35468085
this
thank you, I look like injun when I'm bloated
this thread didn't help much, but it's comforting knowing there's people out there with the same issues, I hate it when I see my friends gobble down their 1200mg sodium chips and their 2000mg burgers yet still look perfectly fine next day, while a low sodium bowl of lentil soup makes me look like fucking Tonto

Those are tear troughs brah, I have them too
Life is suffering with them
You have periorbital puffiness, OP. "It is almost exclusively caused by fluid buildup around the eyes, or periorbital edema." More importantly, maybe you have an underlying health condition which is causing your body to abnormally retain salt, thus making you more sensitive to salt consumption. My guess is if you're salt sensitive, then you should be experiencing edema in other parts of your body like your feet and your ankles. If that's the case, maybe you should see a doctor.

>9/10 facial aesthetics
Yeah ok. You can't claim that without posting a pic OP.
If you posted pic with your puffiness and without I can guarantee there would be very little difference. Sodium isnt going to make you ugly.
If you really are 9/10 normally without bags, then I would suggest you to wear glasses if you have bags under your eyes. I feel like I have similar problem with my eyes and with glasses the bags become unnoticeable.

This
Post pic OP
I have this shit. Gradually has came into existence from 21(bottom pic) to the state it is now at 24 (top pic)
Makes me look like tweaked out to fuck. Can sodium intake really affect this?
Interested for any tips for dark circle gains.

Don't happen to smoke cigarettes by any chance
>>35471066
do you take melatonin
>>35471066
You'd probably have better immediate results if you pull those pins out of your nose and wipe off all the grease you have smeared on your face.
>>35471081
Used to for 3 years or so. Quit at 18. Smoke pot occasionally without tobacco
>>35471096
Nope. Should I? I don't sleep that well as I wake up to take painkillers during the night most nights for hip pain which is probably sciatica.
>>35471106
Ah there you are, right on time. Cool opinion.
It's sweat. I'm browsing /fit/ between sets.
>>35471163
Post the rest of your face. I don't believe you when you say 9/10 face, dude. I need proof. And I'm genuinely curious now.
>>35471271
I'm not OP, just hijacking hete. I'm not 9/10 lol
>>35467721
If it's genetic then you're fucked. There are no pills or creams that fix genetic under eye bags.
Your options are something like juvederm or having surgery.
I know because I have the same problem
>>35471296
Post face anyway, breh
>>35471532
Aye whateva. Here's one of the pics
>>35467721
Side bar to OPs topic- As I lost weight, my laugh lines became more pronounced (have slight ones at rest), my facial aesthetics have suffered because of this. Anyone else notice the same thing or have a solution?
>>35472042

this
>>35474747
godam those numbers tho
>>35467721
you dont go from a 9/10 to a 4/10 just from having a cheat meal. you sound deluded about your looks in the first place and are likely average or below all of the time
>>35471163
It's from pot
I was a heavy smoker and when I stopped for months(!) they slowly start to disappear.
>9/10 facial aesthetics
stopped reading there
>>35472042

>>35468076
Zyzz didn't only leave this board
>>35471360
what dis anon said no creams, tea bags or cold press will halp you, those are fat pads under the eyes and they are genetic surgery is the only way to remove them and maybe certain laser treatments, don't buy into lying creams
