What can be done about loose skin after a diet?

I'm about to start a diet after spending 2 years bulking up. Some colleagues from work had crash diets and lost loads of weight, but were left with loose sking hanging from their bellies and arms. It looks rank! These guys were proper obese, like, BMI well over 35.





What can be done about this? Can I do something to avoid this when i loose weight myself? What about my friends? Is it surgery only?





Thanks a lot for your views guys!What can be done about loose skin after a diet?
When you loose a lot of weight and end up with loose skin there is nothing you can do other than surgically removing it. What happens is when you gain a lot of weight the skin stretches to accommodate our growing bellies, the elasticity in the skin is lost and once the elasticity is lost you can't get it back no matter how much exercise you do.What can be done about loose skin after a diet?
My advice to you would be to lose weight rather slowly (2-3 pounds a week), that's the best way to prevent loose skin. As far as your friends, surgery is probably the only option, depending on how much loose skin they have.
Losing weight is just a snap of time if you only know how can you make your metabolism go fast or burn fast. By making your metabolism go fast your belle will be gone your stored fat will be burn. Don't make heavy weight a problem.
It will depend how much weight you are losing but;


Exfoliating and body-brushing everyday should help (:
Just make sure you do plenty of exercise whilst you're losing the weight.
There are thousands of skin creams out there on the market claiming to help firm up sagging skin; but the question is, do these creams really do what they claim to do?





The truth is that even though these creams are quite expensive, most of them are not effective. The manufacturers of most of these products are just cashing in on the increase in demand for sagging skin remedies/creams.





They know that their products do not do what they claim, so they put these products in attractive packages; use beautiful models in their advertisements and pay famous celebrities to endorse their products. Of course the costs of all these marketing gimmicks are passed down to you- the consumer





You need to know that, when you pay that exorbitant price for that skin cream, you are not just paying for the value of the product; you are also paying for the beautiful advertisements and celebrity endorsements.





All the same, there are still companies that actually manufacture products that are effective in firming up sagging skin.





It is important to mention that sagging skin is caused when the collagen and elastic fibers in the skin lose their ';glue';. This happens when a harmful enzyme called hyaluronidase breaks down the hyaluronic acid in the skin (don't let those weird names put you off)





Hyaluronic acid is an essential component of the skin involved in tissue repair; it is quite understandable, that the breakdown of this component leads to total break down of the skin tissue which results in loose skin or sagging skin.





The most effective way to solve the problem of sagging skin is by stopping the activity of the harmful enzyme before any damage is done.





Studies have shown that a special Japanese kelp called Phytessence Wakame blocks and counters the activities of this enzyme very effectively. Wakame is a powerful anti-oxidant held in high regard by the Japanese for its ability to keep the skin looking supple and youthful.





Collagen provides firmness to the body while elastin maintains the elasticity of the skin by helping it stay flexible; this means that without enough collagen and elastin, the body literally ';falls apart';





Therefore, another way to firm up loose sagging skin is by using skin care products that contain ingredients that stimulate the production of collagen and elastin naturally in the body; from research, I found out that one of such ingredients is Cynergy TK. This is necessary because as we age, the amount of collagen and elastin produced by our bodies decreases and degrades.





Cynergy TK is a unique substance that promotes the growth of natural collagen and elastin thereby enhancing firmness and elasticity.





Other ways you can firm up sagging skin include exercising to tone up your body, good diet of green vegetables and fruits; and drinking at least eight glasses of purified water to detoxify your body.





Now that you know what causes sagging skin and how to firm it up, you do not need to buy any sagging skin cream you see on the market without making sure that it really contains the ingredients that will help firm up your loose sagging skin.





Buying skin care cream that contains Cynergy TK and Phytessence Wakame will help you achieve your goal of firming up your loose sagging skin.





Hope it Help,

While losing weight can transform your body and health for the better, for those who have managed a large weight reduction it can create new problems. If weight loss has been achieved rapidly, the successful dieter can be left with loose skin, particularly around the abdomen. There are many products which claim to tighten skin, however their results are minimal. Surgery is an option in extreme cases, but before considering such a choice, it's worth following these steps.











Step 1-Think of how long it took your body to reach your highest weight. It didn't happen overnight, so you can't really expect your skin to become taut in such a short space of time.





Many surgeons recommend waiting two years from the day you reach your weight loss target before even considering surgery. This allows you to exhaust all options available naturally before entering into a costly and potential dangerous operation.





Step 2-Nourish your skin and encourage it's elasticity. Exfoliate your skin daily to encourage removal of dead skin cells. Doing this each day will stimulate your skin's circulation which should help in tightening skin up.





Step 3-Treat yourself to a hot hour-long bath once or twice a week. While the bath is being drawn, add 1/2lb of pure sea salt to the water and allow it to dissolve. Besides relaxing your body and muscles, it will draw toxins out of your skin and will improve your overall skin tone.





Step 4-Determine what your body fat percentage is. It's impossible to differentiate loose skin from body fat without this figure. Many gyms are able to assess your body for this.





Step 5-While you may have reached your goal weight, it's possible that your body fat percentage is still high. In order to reduce this, you should strive to change your body's composition by reducing fat and replacing it with muscle. If you haven't done so already, speak to a gym or a personal trainer to work on an exercise plan which will help you achieve this.





Step 6-Aloe vera extract, soy protein and yeast extract can improve your skin's elasticity by increasing your body's production of elastin and collagen. It not only tightens your skin but your skin's natural defenses as well.








Step 7-Eating raw food such as cucumber, tomato, olives and coconut can mark an improvement in your skin's elasticity.





Step 8-Hyaluronic Acid is naturally found in our body's tissues. It depletes over time, so it's worth supplementing your diet with some. It is critical for muscle growth, so if you're replacing pounds of fat with muscle, it's definitely worth taking. Smokers tend to be lacking this nutrient. It needs magnesium to synthesize, so ensure you're taking magnesium daily to reap its benefits.





So no, surgery isn't recommended all the time. Tell them to try these first %26amp; if it don't work, then yes,maybe surgery is needed.





For you, I'd recommend dieting %26amp; exercising at the same time to avoid it.





Good luck! =]
