Slide 2 of 6: Losing weight, at the end of the day, is a numbers game. You have to be in a calorie deficit in order to shed pounds and lose fat everywhere, including your face. I cleaned up my diet, cutting out all packaged and processed foods, and lowered my daily calorie intake. I didn't count my macros every day, but I did cut out excess snacks and second portions. That was enough to be in a calorie deficit and lose weight steadily over the course of several months.
