Modern diets are insanely soft (e.g: mashed carbs, processed goyslop, overcooked meat) Your jaw is a bone that responds to mechanical load, especially during puberty when bone remodeling is more active




The Ideal Chewing Pattern​

Initiating the Bite​


Start the bite with your incisors.


Why?
it endorses forward growth stimulus mechanics (i have no idea what i just said ngl) , promotes balanced facial muscle use and prevents lazy vertical chomping/chewing

How:
Tear into food instead of cutting everything. Like a predator (not a joke take lions for example bhai)


Transitioning to Premolars​


After the tear shift food back to the premolars.


Why premolars over molars?

Molars are built for chewing extremely tough foods (which modern food barely is). Premolars create lateral force for bone stimulation, and also enforces masseter activation without excessive joint stress (so u don't get tmj)


Slow Bilateral Chewing​


switch sides every few bites; because if you chew only on one side it risks facial asymmetry, uneven masseter growth and jaw deviation

If chewing one side feels easier chew on the weaker side.




Daily Foods You Should Eat​


You want foods that are atleast moderately tough to chew.

Protein Sources​

steak (not overcooked)
chicken
beef jerky
lamb


Plants​


Raw carrots
Celery
apples
Cabbage


Dense Carbs​


proper sourdough
Bagels
whole-grain bread

Avoid white bread.




Snacks​


nuts
dried fruit (not the sugary candy type)


Don’t Overdo It​

Avoid:

gum chewing alot (it causes tmj)
rockhard foods (you want to chew not to die also causes tmj)
stop when you get jaw pain

pain is not a good strategy

Does biting the curb counts towards looksmaxxing ?

Would've expected more explanation on masseters hypertrophy NGL but decent thread
