It is an absolute slop of an opinion and if you asked any sane person on here i GUARANTEE they will agree with me.

Now onto the basic fundamentals of nutrition. This is eating to optimize your appearance - you will hear lots about health indicators these are VERY important when it comes to looking good , obviously you can look good without good health indicators but it is a bonus to perhaps up your SMV (Sexual Market Value). Anyways enough rambling lol , this diet focuses on enhancing skin , hair , eyes , muscle tone and body composition through diet. Below is the core fundamentals broken down into categories

CORE PRINCIPLE:
Looks≠Health

Myself and lots of other looksmaxxers will swear by this , as looks are a reflection of internal health - hormones , inflammation levels , hydration and nutrient balance etc etc. You want to focus on

• Hormone optimisation ( testosterone , dihydrotestosterone , thyroid (T2/T3) , estrogen balance

• Keeping inflammation low and maintaining gut health

• Micronutrient sufficiency ( vitamins , minerals , antioxidants)

• Stable blood sugar and insulin sensitivity

• Ideal hydration and electrolyte balance


So yeah follow the tips i explained and i promise you will see results. NOW we move on to the macronutrient side of things for AESTHETICS:ohhhh::ohhhh: what is aesthetics you may ask ? Aesthetics is a “core design principle that defines a designs pleasing qualities” anyways let’s get into macronutrients for aesthetics

Macronutrients for Aesthetics

Protein (1.6 - 2.2g/kg body weight)


Combine this with working out and you will definitely see results.:pepecheers:

Protein supports collagen , keratin and skin repair.
Sources: eggs , lean meat , fish , diary products and more


Fats

CRUCIAL for hormone production - especially testosterone, Cholesterol ≠ Fats

Essential fatty acids (omega-3) improve skin elasticity and reduce acne.

Sources: salmon , sardines , avacados , egg yolks , nuts



Carbs

You will hear people talk about how you barely need carbs throughout puberty , they are braindead.:lowiq: Carbs are essential for bone growth and just overall energy for workouts and muscle fullness. Carbs also help regulate Cortisol which is a terrible hormone if you have too much ( stress hormone) never stress bby:feelsyay:

Favour complex carbs over refined ones for steady energy
Sources: oats (controversial) , rice , sweet potatoes, fruit and honey.


Micronutrients for Visual Impact

Goal: Clear skin - Zinc , Vitamin A and E , Omega-3s

Goal: Even skin tone/glow -Vitamin C , copper ( can use GHK-GU) yes i know it’s the new thing greys thirst over but it works. Also polyphenols

Goal: Thick hair/Strong nails - Biotin, Iron , Protein , Silica


Goal: Bright sclera- Lutein , Zeaxanthin, Vitamin A

Goal: Youthful face / collagen - collagen peptides , Vitamin C , Glycine


Hydration and Electrolytes

2.5L-3.5L water, raw milk / full fat milk a day.

Add electrolytes (Na , K , Mg) for further benefit.

Avoid chronic dehydration (causes dull skin , sunken eyes)

Lifestyle and Nutrition Synergy

Sleep 9-10 hours - more so if in puberty (ideally be in bed between 10-11pm) as that’s when GH / growth hormone is released at its peak.

Hop off the ALC - contains phytoestrogens which lowers testosterone levels and dehydrates skin

Don’t fear “Sea” salt - Extra vascularity incoming if already lean

<3 hours screen time - Explains itself

Sunlight exposure - If in a country with little to no sun rn supplement Vitamin D


And there you go , this is a basic nutrition thread for anyone who doesn’t know , muh water i know . More so for greys who don’t know much as i said

THANKS FOR READING IF YOU DID

Fat should be a source of energy
There is downsides to this opinion though , slower energy release which relates to your brain demanding more oxygen than from glucose which increases risk of neural tissue becoming hypoxic (low on oxygen)
