Anyone else have this problem?

When on extremely low-carb for a couple days the skin on my face goes from taut to chipmunk-like. When I reintroduce carbs for my refeed, my tight face returns.

I imagine this is due to the glycogen depletion from my facial muscles, but it could be due to dehydration- I don't know.

Does anyone else have this problem? Or can anyone further enlighten me?

Help!I really just want insight into why this happens- because it really precludes me from going low-carb for an extended period of time, because I just can't stand to look in the mirror after a few days.
Anyway, BUMP.

This is actually rather normal... I would strongly suggest increasing the amount of FAT in your diet!

I will try it, thanks.

Is there science behind this?
