What is the best way to maintain skin elasticity when losing weight?
I have quite a bit of weight to lose and am TERRIFIED of sagging skin. There is a definite difference between sagging skin and untoned muscle. Once you have sagging skin, you may as well opt for surgery. It is almost impossible to get rid of. How can I prevent this? I am most concerned about my stomach and my inner thighs. I am in my late twenties. I am sure I need to drink plenty of water and moisturize. Any other tips? Please help. I would almost rather be heavy than have my skin sag...
Answers:
You're in your late 20's so your skin still has a lot of elasticity. If you are morbidly overweight, you will have some skin sagging no matter how old you are. If you are just moderately overweight, your skin may be able to spring back.
All I can suggest is that you make sure your diet includes plenty of healthy whole foods.
