I am working out regularly to get muscular I have protein shake just post workout. Its does help in building muscle but somehow I have reduced the quantity from three to two scoops now planning to have only one coz its not helping me reduce facial fat double chin or belly contrary I am feeling puffiness on face cheek bones. Can proteins shakes have negative effects like puffiness on face? I am into modelling I want to cut that out or can this be coz of age factor as I am now 37 previous also I have been taking shakes on and off but never experienced this but being in media I have to maintain anyhow as an actor for camera purposes face having fat tends to make you look older and actors do have slim faces at 50 plus also as we all know but it that possible without artificial support or synthetic stuff steroids and all I do not want to go on that track. I have started taking 30 ml aloe vera juice in warm water empty stomach in morning and pre meals apple cider vinegar 10 ml cup of water its a natural uric acid reducer I am told last year I faced higher uric acid levels so I started that. What is the possible way to cut facial fat or puffiness? I have even gone on boiled vegetable diet in dinner past few days which gives results in over all body just worried about facial fat its not decreasing only inspite of regular workout and alternate days cardio jogging 5-6 kms approx 45-55 minutes on treadmill trainers give the usual pattern do not eat carbs etc etc which all. I know for years as a workout person or should I get some test done can it be coz of some certain levels increased in body/blood of something I was 75 kg 5.8 inches reduced to 71.5 but what about the puffiness thats not reducing as per ratio of body weight so visually it does not seem to that I have reduced.
