[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1709969, member: 41816"] This is something i have done a bit of reading about, and have a little practical experience, too. I lost a lot of weight in my thirties and it took over 2 years to improve. Arms and tummy have never fully recovered. I understand that until we hit our mid 40s (perimenopause) our skin is usually elastic enough to bounce back from most things - so long as we eat the nutrients that enable the healing. It may take a year or two, but the skin usually tightens up. After 50 and menopause the skin loses elasticity and is less able to tighten up. Good nutrition, skin moisturisation, skin brushing, will help. It can still improve, but it will take longer and may not be as effective. Don’t fall for the myth that exercising will tighten the skin. The only place on the body where the skin is attached to the muscles is the face. So you can lift facial skin by increasing facial muscle volume and stopping muscles sagging. Elsewhere on the body all you can do is increase muscle definition and volume while the skin sags over it. Sometimes this can give the limited impression that the skin has tightened. As BB says, Jason Fung says that none of his fasting patients have needed skin reduction surgery. He credits this to lower protein and autophagy. Both of these could be achieved without extensive fasting, since autophagy can be triggered by low calorie without fasting (e.g. Volter Lungo’s Fasting Mimicking Diet) I have seen some people advising jogging and high protein diets to tighten up skin. I think that is illogical. Loose floppy skin is going to flop more with high impact exercise, isn’t it? Gravity will stretch it with every jolting impact. And a high protein diet is not going to make the reabsorption of unneeded skin likely, since harvesting and recycling the available and redundant protein/collagen will work better if the diet doesn’t have a protein surplus. If anyone wants, i can provide online references to all of the above (including you tube vids of facial exercises that claim to work as well as face lifts (hmmmm!) but i will not provide links suggesting jogging and collagen to reduce saggy skin. You can find them if you like, but i won’t help you. :D [/QUOTE]
