Hey everyone, I’ve been reading a lot about the "skinny fat" body type and wanted to share what I’ve learned. Essentially, it describes someone who appears slim but has a high body fat percentage, especially around the midsection. If you're struggling with this, don’t worry – it’s quite common. The key is to focus on both diet and exercise. Incorporating strength training along with a balanced diet can help reduce body fat and increase muscle mass. Cardio alone might not be enough. Anyone here have experience with this? What strategies have worked for you?

Should I be focused on getting protein from protein powders and like shakes or from natural sources like meats and stuff?

After watching Owen's glow up video, it covers skincare routine but it made me wonder what products to use for haircare and teethcare routine? What products do you guys recommend for them? And Owen, if you see this I'm really curious about what do you use for your hair? I'm also open for any deodorant or perfume tips or maybe shower jel that smells good. Thank you.
