1st - Congrats on your weight loss. I have lost 120+ lbs in the last 16 months and my face has changed a ton, and yes, my beard absolutely changed as well. I found as i started losing significant weight that I no longer liked how I looked with my bigger beard. The same beard styling that i had done for long time no longer seemed to look right on me. I decided I needed to change and started going shorter with my beard to allow the new shape of my face to show more. I realized for me, I had somewhat been using my long, thicker beard as a mask to hide what I didn't like, which was the heavier face shape from being bigger. 5-6 Days a week at the gym, complete dietary changes have reshaped my body and mind (My journey did start with mounjjaro shots and they did help me get my A1C down and helped facilitate curbing the appetite which made it so I could turn the new changes into new habits and lifestyle). I turn 50 this year and am in best shape I have been in as an adult. I am also probably happier with my beard and look right now than I have been at any point.

[@DanCBearded]

So proud of you dude! It’s been cool to follow your journey

[@TGoose74]

Jeremy, what’s your social media, I’d love to follow along!!!

[@layol692k7]

I am also on a weight loss journey so much with your body changes during this process. Sometimes it can feel weird and awkward. Fear not it's just part of the process!

[@AbeAleman]

Mr. C.,I started on my weight loss journey 12 years ago in 2012. That was also my last year of being a School Teacher. I weighed in at 535 pounds and in terrible health. Now, in 2024, I weigh in at 211 pounds, my health has improved immensely! I started growing a beard this year for the first time in my life and I'm loving it! Thanks so much for all you do for the Bearded Community! My wife & I enjoy your videos so much!

[@DanCBearded]

I’m so happy to hear that!

[@flagg_entertainment]

I started hitting the gym regularly since February. One of my goals was to lose some of the pandemic weight I gained. I can definitely tell that I am no longer carrying around nearly as much face fat anymore. Did a trim recently, and it really sticks out to me. I think I can rock certain styles better now. Congrats on your fitness journey! Let’s keep up the grind!

[@DanCBearded]

Thanks Flagg, right back at you!

[@asdfgasdfghjkl1039]

I’ve never been through a weight loss or weight gain issue. However, the point you bring up totally makes sense! Thanks for the great perspective.

[@DanCBearded]

Thanks man!

[@beardedmounjarbro]

I have experienced this big time after losing 100 lb. Even over the last year. Your right on with this bro! Great video homie!

[@DanCBearded]

Dude, congrats on triple digits. That’s insanely awesome!

[@beardedmounjarbro]

@@DanCBearded thanks bro!

[@talisitiger1]

The face shift is real! Imagine 377 to 185….. Yes, I noticed this indeed! My beard seemed to appear denser, thicker over the transition! I definitely noticed this change! The routine change you describe definitely makes sense, adapting!

[@DanCBearded]

Oh wow! I can’t even imagine that

[@doctornicksamazingmanstuff]

I went through a major weight loss, but it was before the major beard. I can totally get what you mean though! Makes so much sense and I think can really help people.

[@DanCBearded]

Amazing how you have kept the weight loss and health going too!

[@kennethyoung4892]

Me too the exact same thing happened to me

[@nickhadge]

Going to give your IG a follow. Love this right here. I’ve found my beard loses quality after overly extreme workouts. I’m a strongman athlete

[@DanCBearded]

That’s awesome man, thanks!

[@OGFitzRoy]

When I lose 70 lbs my face changed tremendously. But I was still rocking goatees & chin straps 😅

[@DanCBearded]

70 is insane!

[@kenknuppel3067]

Down about 8-12 lbs in May. Also did some major trimming this month for a contest, so we will see how things progress from here.

[@DanCBearded]

Let’s gooo! Thanks for the shoutout today 🤝

[@semperfortisjiujitsu]

Excellent video conversation Dan! Congratulations on the 20 pound weight loss. Very impressive Mt friend.

[@DanCBearded]

Thank you Saad! Just getting started 🤝

[@BearedCajun]

Dan congerats on the weight loss. I also lost alot of weight. Got real sick. Was septic and on my way to dying. Found out that I was diabetic, 400 lbs. My health and beard was ridiculously out of control. I was able to get off insulin and all but Maintenance drug only. In the journey that has taking 4 years I have lost 150 lbs and had my knees real place and now Im healthy. After the weight lose my face was a lot thiner and beard was so much nice looking. I made the decision to make the changes I need too. Being healthy has made my beard look so much better. Being healthy is a way of life at sometime get out control for many reasons. We just need to go the path that works for you. Healthy works. Awsome video.

[@DanCBearded]

Wow, so happy to hear the positive changes!

[@Thisguywholikeswine]

I also have recently lost around 20-30 lbs, doing about the same as you, just adjusting what I eat and cutting back on drinking. I have notice my beard looking more tapered and having to do more with my “beard blowout” routine. I never even thought about how my face was thinning out! Lol! Great video once again Dan! 👊🤘

[@DanCBearded]

That’s so awesome Phil, hell yeah

[@newyorkdominicanking]

1st congratulations on the weight loss @dancbearded. This is 100% accurate for me. Starting 3 years ago when I decided to grow my beard, I was about 40 and weighing over 375lb. When I shaved it off for the last time, I had weighed myself and damn near cried and started making changes. Now at 43, and 195 lb, along with all your guidance, and healthy routines, my beard looks fuller, healthier, and more complete because my face wasn't as round and lumpy because of my fat cheeks or double chins. I know I am being too rough on myself, but that's why my beard is so important. It's my walking trophy. I feel amazing with these habits. Exercise increases testosterone, water helps the skin and body, and oil and butter the hair. My heart and blood pressure keeps everything circulating, I am rocking the shit out of this from a typical dad bod, to "hey daddy" from Mrs. Dan, you know what I'm talking about... lol

[@DanCBearded]

Dude that’s amazing! Proud of you and happy for you 🤝

[@68dtrazz]

My weight loss journey started at about the same time as my beard journey, so as I lost weight my beard was changing alot just due to getting longer, so I didn't have the same experience. My beard simply evolved with my body, I lost about 75 lbs in about a year, and have maintained for about the past 6 months. By the way, we are on the same weight loss "program" which is to say it is no program at all, just working out and making better food choices...

[@DanCBearded]

That’s so interesting and I totally get it!

[@hikedayley9309]

Growing a new beard or losing weight. Take it all One Day at a Time and enjoy the Journey. Live in the Moment my friends!

[@DanCBearded]

Love it!

[@gerradgeorge5148]

Dan I’ve been waiting for this one!! I always wondered this and believe I even asked you a question on it maybe 2 years or more ago! Well here I am 50lbs in one year and I can say 100% my beard looks the best it ever has. Not just from surface area but I believe my testosterone production has most likely gone up with the weight loss and muscle gained. So it’s two fold. Honestly I don’t think I ever would have cared about my health in general or in the same way I do now if not for you videos on beard health and how much internal health effects your beard. Yes I got into a physical hobby (reel mowing) and I have a crazy 2.5 toddler for my “resistance training” because he resists and I have to chase him! Once my wife pointed out I lost weight it motivated me to actually try to and I just tried to make good choices (beef jerky instead of a cookie) or a sparking water instead of beer with dinner. Thank you Dan for helping light the spark!!

[@DanCBearded]

So proud of you and so happy for you!!

[@theofficialken1755]

Working out makes a tremendous difference on your beard health, but your confidence overall is the best part. Nothing better than being jacked and bearded.💪

[@DanCBearded]

So true! And working on it 💪 I hope the date went well!

Awesome video with awesome perspective . I have also had this happen and now with you shedding light with this I’m going to have to see what’s up . I too thought it was the way I was grooming and what oils , wash I was using. Appreciate all you do Dan C. 💪 Congratulations on your progress and results.

[@DanCBearded]

Thank you Mike!

[@im4scots86]

Congratulations Dan. Keep up the great work. I wish that zi could comment on weight loss affecting my beard but as I've mentioned here before. I lost weight and then grew my beard. No matter. A healthy lifestyle goes a long way to having a healthy beard. There's no shortcut. Thanks for your guidance Dan.

[@DanCBearded]

Very true 🤝

[@Busywave]

Getting to a normal weight is the best thing a person can do for health in my opinion. Exercise too, but diet and sleep are more important. I am on a weight loss journey as well. Lost about 14 lbs in last few months. Great perspective Dan C!

[@DanCBearded]

Congrats my man!

[@BeardedandBrave]

Congrats Dan! Being better is exactly what we all need to strive for! That started with my beard and now has led me to striving on my health! After my wife and I struggled with some miscarriages, we both are working on improving our health!

[@DanCBearded]

Oh man, I’m sorry you guys. So tough. Here for you!

What my fat butt heard: “Don’t lose weight, it will mess up your beard.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Pop.Culture.In.Plastic666]

Great to hear about your weight loss. Well done. I was 124kgs back in early March this year and my doctor told me i had to lose the weight. I did. This morning i weighed myself and i’m 107.45kgs. I have 7 more kilos to go. I walk 10kms a day, drink heaps of water and i’m eating protein, salads, vegetables and small amounts of fruit. No junk food. No soft drink. No baked good. No added sugar. No deep fried anything, No alcohol. No desserts. No chocolate. No carbs either so no bread, no pasta and no rice. Nothing my body doesn’t need. I feel soooooo much better. So much more energy and i’m sleeping a lot better as well My beard has changed and i’ve adapted to it.

I’m currently on a weight loss journey. I’m trying to lose 30 pounds. Since I carry a lot of weight in my face, I have found it helpful for me to go to the barber more often to get small trims along the way.

[@DanCBearded]

Heck yeah Geordie!

[@thebeardedalchemist]

Hey Dan, I just ordered the Artiusman Invigoration so hyped on how it smells, can’t wait to get it.

[@j.m.4858]

Congratulations on the weight loss man... great video as always.

[@DanCBearded]

Appreciate it!

[@leosigman7239]

Excellent mental outlook! Great job on your weight. I lost around 15 pounds recently by cutting way down on Carbs. I did notice the sides of my beard were puffier and some of my headgear was looser 😊. Not sure if the sides were because of lost weight or simply time between trims. All I can say about my beard routine is that the basic wash, dry, oil, groom is the same. The following changes aren’t from weight loss; rather from changed thought-processes I noticed since changing my diet-I changed from one-until-done to a 3-oil rotation (I’m not sure my beard cares, but feel-in-beard is a dramatic change) some days my Chicago #9 is enough while others seem to want my Boar Bristle Brush.

[@DanCBearded]

Great job as well Leo, that is fantastic!

[@donaldlong3834]

I needed this video more than you know. First very inspirational on weight loss through activity and just eating smarter. I wondered about the impact on the beard hairs but also direction with a 10-30lb weight loss. This was an inspiration for me to start my journey of losing some weight. Love these inspirational videos that are also aligned to the beard journey.

[@DanCBearded]

You got this and I can’t wait to follow the journey!

[@VchaosTheoryV]

That's like the left side of my chin grows underneath towards the right side, and the right side tends to grow down and back under towards my neck. So, even though i've never lost weight, the angle in which these follicles take can be crazy to deal with.

[@DanCBearded]

Oh I totally hear you!

[@tavatavatavi9446]

It’s been a little while and I honestly no longer have a big beard. Your beards looking better than ever dude. Good to see the channel thriving!

Thanks man, I appreciate that! Always welcome here, bearded or not

[@Ottobon]

As very skinny person always wondered but wasnt sure. I think this is why blow out method is so important to me, although since it can be too much heat/time with heat if done almost everyday i found high speed no heat for blowout before any heat can do the trick to keep from drying hair too much.

[@DanCBearded]

Yes, spot on!

[@AussieBushranger]

Living with a health lifestyle beard and mo can lead to many such great things- improved and helps etc!

Congrats on the weight loss. I'd love to see you review AJ Elixers beard products. They were my go to for many years until I saw your product reviews. However I'd love to see your opinion on them in comparison to others you enjoy

I have never heard of them! Thanks for putting them on my radar

[@thricecompany]

@DanCBearded Absolutely love them. Darkseid #16 oil, balm and wax. Let me know if you try. The scent is outstanding

[@bertcapps4151]

I am currently on a weight loss journey as well, I am doing this because I have a damaged liver due to fat. I started a month ago at 386 pounds, as of yesterday I have lost 11 pounds. I think the biggest appearance in the beard is that it looks to be a little longer.

[@DanCBearded]

Heck yeah, keep it up!

[@kennethyoung4892]

I've been on a weights loss journey before I grew my beard

[@DanCBearded]

Respect!

[@kwlambright]

I have lost 120 lbs in the last year and a half. Had to shave for work a year ago and could see a real difference in my facial structure. I grew it back and has been over a year, weight is still off and beard is better looking than last year. Biggest thing was I drink more water and cut out all bad foods. Sugars are gone and body feels better. All of this equates to a healthier beard.

[@DanCBearded]

That’s amazing man!!!

[@Bkamaclean]

I dropped from 225 to 195 over the last couple of years...just stopped drinking beer and when I eat I stop when I could still eat more. I have always eaten a pretty clean diet...just less...I don't count calories. I still drink beer...but a case will last me 6 months instead of one week. Yes I noticed the same thing as you, with my beard.

[@DanCBearded]

All sounds great!

[@michaelhromi9884]

Awesome video Dan! I could never burn 1,000 calories at the gym. I’d be withered up. 😂 I’m sure I burn close to 500 calories in a workout. Not trying to lose weight, as I’m already where I should be, 135lbs, 5’3”. Any less and I’d look sickly. 😂 It’s more about staying active due to my job where I sit all day. I feel better when my muscles are tight and a bit sore. That’s great that you’ve noticed positive changes in your journey.

[@DanCBearded]

Love that!

[@sambrommer]

Wow i never thought of this, used to have a big beard(not as big as yours tho). But after losing somewhere between 66 and 77 pounds i went for a smaller beard as my previous one seemed to be untameable and looked ridiculous on my face 🤣

[@DanCBearded]

Probably was a factor!
