So, in researching MTII, I started uncovering lots of info. on sunlight/tanning & fat loss, like this article - http://www.musculardevelopment.com/articles/fat-loss/1813-sun-exposure-and-fat-loss.pdf.
After some reading, I decided to give the tanning beds at my gym a try, since I'm practically NEVER outside, (and never get any natural sunlight). There was an immediate improvement in my mood/energy level (almost like a happy-stimulant kinda high, lol); and also a modest decrease in appetite. All very good…
…but even more amazing and totally unexpected: today when I woke up and looked in the mirror I was like, "Holy Shit, my jaw-line is really coming back!" Seriously, it almost looked like I'd had liposuction (not that I had a lot of fat there to begin with)… but two years ago, a few months after starting my job where I NEVER see sunlight, I noticed that I also started storing fat like crazy (mostly in my ab area and also my jawline); that's also around the same time my crazy hunger started.
I thought maybe it was part of the "aging" process and/or due to inactivity (since I'd had a few accidents and 7 surgeries in < 20 months!)… but I couldn't dismiss the fact that ALL 15+ of the other employees that were hired after me, that also never see sunlight, ALL gained fat since starting at my company, (and very noticeably in the jawline area).
So now I'm really curious if anyone else has experienced this kind of thing - either fat loss/decreased appetite after increased sun exposure/tanning; or fat gain/increased hunger after decreased sun exposure/tanning.
