Hi, fat is stored in the cheeks. By chewing gum excessively the muscles of the cheek have hypertrophied (increased in size) please discontinue this practise. Here are a few tips that will help you:- eat small frequent meals. After every 2 -3 hours eat protein rich diet (especially post workout, it will help in building muscle) eat proper breakfast, as 40% of day's energy comes from breakfast. Include healthy fat in your diet like nuts - almonds and walnuts, seeds like pumpkin, watermelon, sunflower seeds, etc. Drink approx. 3 l water daily eat fiber rich diet, it will help to gain early satiety and help you feel full - include fruits and vegetables in your diet avoid junk food, oily food, processed or canned foods. Exercise daily for an hour (include more cardio activities like- walking, jogging, outdoor activities etc.) note: the given prescription can change according to different conditions.
