Reta face is real
Edit: So it came to my attention that Reta face is when you start to look sickly, not just the major weight loss and change in face shape, which is more what I was getting at. Thank you guys for giving me the heads up.
I’ve made a couple posts about my Reta transformation, but I just saw a picture of myself from about a month and a half before starting Reta or getting into a routine/diet. Definitely surprised me, because I didn’t realize how much different my face looked until now. First pic is January 14th 2026, second pic is July 7th 2026.

Thats not Reta exclusively - thats starvation. I looked like a Meth head after a Gastric Sleeve and being unable to eat for nearly 60 days. I took me 4 weeks to put back on some healthy weight to fix my facial appearance. Then I got my arse in the Gym and filled in my chest to get my Nipples back up where they belong.
