 A lot of people try to use my under eye bags as a way to discredit the carnivore diet and you know depending on the lighting, whether I've gotten some sun recently, how much sleep I've gotten, you know there's various degrees about how bad they can look. But I've had under eye bags since I was a baby. You know the doctors told my parents it was allergies but you know literally from when I was born I've had severe bags under my eyes. And I was fed a soy formula, I probably didn't develop as optimally as I could have so as much as I would like to attribute all of these things to improper nutrition and modern baby formula things like that, it's not really solving the problem. I mean I also have pictures of when I was young and my eye bags look far worse than they do now. And one big reason I think my YouTube channel has become drastically more successful is because I started tanning and improved my appearance to look much, much healthier. You know in 2016-2017 I was very, very pale. The contrast between my pale skin and my eye bags was much more drastic and they looked a lot worse. I mean people would say that I wouldn't look healthy because of the complexion of my eyes. But now in my videos with decent lighting, if I've gotten tan once or twice a week, I look perfectly fine. So compared to what I used to look like when I was a kid, I pretty much alleviated the appearance problems of these under eye bags. The main issue that I can attribute to making them look worse is definitely sleep. If I don't get enough sleep, you know good eight hours, then you know I'm going to feel it and I know my eyes aren't going to look as bright and vibrant as they should. Another big factor which might be much more of a factor in appearance as opposed to how I feel than the first is sun exposure. And if I tan, if I get some, you know whether it's a tanning bed once or twice a week or get some sun on my face a couple times a week, that greatly improves the appearance of my under eye bags. In addition to that, removing inflammation from the diet, staying very well hydrated, trying to reduce stress levels, all of those things have contributed to me kind of fixing my under eye bags. And if one of these things is out of whack, they'd look terrible without a doubt. You know if I don't sleep one night, they're going to look really bad unless the lighting is good. If I don't get enough sun for a couple weeks, they're going to look bad unless my sleep is pretty much perfect. So unfortunately, there's no real solution to under eye bags in the case of someone like me who's had them their entire lives. Of course, as very evident by how I can literally have raccoon eyes one day and then go from perfectly healthy looking skin another day, there's ways to improve it drastically that you can achieve through diet, sun, health, exercise as well. Just overall living a very healthy lifestyle, getting enough sleep, sun and all of these things will contribute to removing under eye bags. There are people who are fortunate that can never sleep and they don't have any eye bags. And then there are people who get plenty of sleep and have terrible under eye bags. But it's safe to say that if you fix elements in your diet from nutrient density to removing inflammatory foods, if you get a decent amount of sun exposure, whether it's tanning or from the sun, if you hydrate properly and you get enough sleep, you will improve your appearance to the point where your eye bag shouldn't be a point of discussion for anyone. I mean, that's my experience. Like I have no problem about people being honest and using things as ammunition against other people, but it just doesn't make sense in this context. You know, it's something I've had my whole life. I feel like I shouldn't have to explain this to people every time it comes up. It seems completely ridiculous. And I've had a lot of people comment, oh, Italian people have those features. All Italian people have dark circles under their eyes. So apparently it's a feature that is a lot more common in, I mean, Italians like me, but what are you going to do? So thank you guys for watching.
