Losing a lot of weight, and scared of loose skin?

[Anonymous]

I'm on the road to losing a lot of weight, but i'm extremely worried that I will be left with loose skin in both my arm and tummy area. Is there a way to prevent it?

I've heard a lot of good things about trying out a vegan diet. Raw till 4 would be your best bet because it's the easiest to keep up with. It requires a lot of researching and learning about though. Look up Freelee the Banana Girl on YouTube, she does a great job at explaining what Raw till 4 is and teaching people about the logic behind it. Basically, it's all fruits and veggies, and because you're getting this nutrient and vitamin overload, it improves skin elasticity naturally. A lot of the people who lose a lot of weight on this diet experience much less skin sagging than people who lose weight via calorie restriction and and omnivorous diet because of all the vitamins and nutrients their getting. The results are pretty great and is your best bet at minimal skin sagging.

You can tone up & work out. It may take a while but you will eventually get there. Good luck!

If u work out and tone as u lose weight, the lose skin sort of gets tighter? I was overweight 245lbs and my waist was a 38-40 no belt
That's me in the pic now, I dont have saggy skin but u can still pull on my skin lol, it's weird like that fantastic 4 guy

Nice dude, how'd you do it and how long did it take you to get where you are now?

It's been 6years for me now give or take, but I've been looking lean for awhile so I'd say it took me about 2-3 years to become really skinny? I'm currently trying to add more muscle mass while staying lean so I can keep my abs.

yes, i think if you work out, after losing much weight, your skin can be toned i guess

The #1 preventative thing u can do, is to steadily lose weight. Losing weight is what makes loose skin happen.

*losing weight too rapidly, is what causes loose skin to happen

Surgery after you've done losing weight.

Either way, lose skin is better then bodyfat.
