Man's Life Gets Completely Transformed After His Barber Urged Him To Grow A Beard
Beards can be great assets to men, even if they get a bit itchy now and then.
Men without their beards are like women without their makeup on. Just as makeup makes women feel beautiful and confident, a beard helps men feel more mature and self-assured.
We are obviously talking about the men who love their beards, but there are some men out there who prefer being clean-shaven. Truth be told, it can be much nicer to kiss a man without a beard.
I know some of you are cursing me now, but we all have our own opinions on whether men should grow a beard or not. It's one of those situations where there's a 50/50 chance that the beard will suit the man and become a part of him, or it will just not work.
But for Gwilym Pugh, it worked out perfectly! He is a 21-year-old businessman who works from the comfort of his home, and it ended up making him gain a lot of weight. So much so that his barber advised him to grow a beard to feel better.
“At that time, I was pretty overweight, working 12 hours a day, plagued with injuries that meant I couldn’t train at all,” Gwilym told Wales Online. “The business was doing okay, but I decided I needed to get my life in order and wanted to get healthy again.”
Gwilym was part of a band, and when he started to grow his beard, he decided to go a bit further and include some healthy eating. However, in order for him to lose weight, he knew he had to stop sitting for 12 hours a day in front of his computer.
“It was the best thing for my health as I stopped sitting for nine to ten hours a day,” he said after losing about 90 pounds in five years.
WalesonlineWhen he lost most of his weight, he started an Instagram account to document his story.
