Leanmaxxing (Body-Fat Reduction)
Lowering body fat is the single biggest natural lever for facial definition.
Also called: leanmaxxing · cutting for jawline · body fat face · low body fat
Verdict — legit
Does what it claims, with evidence behind it.
Evidence grade A
Multiple randomised controlled trials, or a meta-analysis of them. As settled as this field gets.
Mechanism
Facial adiposity sits in the buccal, submental, and jowl compartments; reducing total body fat de-volumizes them, exposing the underlying mandibular border, zygomatic contour, and cheek hollows.

The full read
Perceived facial attractiveness and health correlate strongly with facial adiposity in controlled studies. Most people first 'find out' they have a jawline somewhere between 10–15% body fat (men). No supplement, tool, or exercise spot-reduces facial fat — only overall energy balance does. This is the highest-leverage, fully-in-your-control intervention on this list.
