Weight Loss Extra Skin

Weight Loss Extra Skin
"Extra skin" after weight loss?

I just starting to lose weight and I am looking to lose about 70 pounds total. I'm worried about this "extra skin" people keep going on about - I know that some people who lose a lot of weight end up with saggy skin around their tummy/thighs/etc. and I want to avoid that if at all possible - is there something I can do now? Since I'm just starting to lose the weight (regulating exercise, eating right) is there a certain way I have to exercise in order (e.g. what kind of workout, etc) to avoid having loose skin? (without surgery)

Thanks!

Well, I have lost a lot of weight, myself. Down from 189 to 110. And being 5'2", it did take it's toll. I had an issue at one point with a little skin left over, and I've tried everything you can think of. The only thing that I've found that works is lifting weights. Just don't go overboard, and you shouldn't have problems with looking masculine. Just attack problem areas, like the stomach and breasts. It pulls the skin in, I think. I have to keep up with it, but the results seem to be more permanent, every day. And also, try to lose the weight healthily, because if you lose it too fast, your skin won't be able to heal quickly enough and it will make the damage worse. If you have any problems with stretch marks, I used Cocoa Butter from Palmers, and that's basically eliminated all of them. Good luck!

Top 25 Weight Loss Tips You should Know

Here are some weight loss diet tips that can be followed anywhere, everyday:

1. Make a delicious low fat mayonnaise by combining one teaspoon of Dijon mustard or satay sauce with a low fat yogurt.

2. Do not skip meals. Skipping meals slicks the body into slowing down the metabolism, attempting to conserve calories during a period where limited fats and fuel are available. Remember that eating increases the metabolism.

3. Stuff vegetables like capsicum and zucchini with flavored fillings or minced chicken, white meat or fish. These are healthy and contain low fat.

4. Take pita bread roll ups or wraps with salad fillings.

5. Eight hours after waking up, our metabolism slows down that is why 30 minutes of exercise before dinner will increase the metabolism for about two to three hours. This produces an increase in burned fat even hours after the work out is over.

6. Add alfalfa or mung beans to salad to get extra iron.

7. Good cooking and healthy eating begins with learning about nutrition and how to prepare healthy recipes.

8. Learn how to make the family favorite recipes and make sure that fats, salt, and sugar are cut out. Substitute non-fat yogurt for cream, stir-fry without oil and use herbs and spices instead of salt to taste.

9. Consult the doctor before beginning an exercise or weight loss program.

10. Slowly eat and chew each bite during meals as this would decrease one's appetite.

11. Complete three small meals and two snacks everyday instead of one or two huge meals.

12. Use chicken stock when stir-frying. This will cut down on hidden fat.

13. Buy non-toasted muesli instead of the toasted ones. A plate of toasted muesli contains more fat than a plate of bacon and eggs.

14. As much as possible do not remove the skins of fruits and vegetables since most of the nutrients are concentrated under the skin.

15. Warm water with just a squeeze of lemon juice before breakfast get the metabolism going for the day, this also help preventing constipation and is excellent for the skin.

16. One of the best sources of vegetable protein is from soya beans or tofu. All legumes provide some protein, so include lentils, lima beans etc into casseroles and soups.

17. Look for a weight loss "buddy," club, or support mates. This will motivate you to stay and enjoy your weight loss program.

18. Though it's hard at first, try not eating 3 hours or more before bedtime.

19. Make pasta a fast food choice - preparing a pasta meal or salad will only take 10-12 minutes.

20. Chilli helps to speed up metabolism - even the milder varieties.

21. Try making omelettes without adding the yolks! A dramatic decrease in fat.

22. Substitute baking soda, baking powder, MSG and soya sauce in cooking.

23. Remove fat by dropping ice cubes into the baking tray. Fat will stick to the ice cubes.

24. Drinking hot water instead of cold water in the morning can increase the speed of your metabolism and burn more calories.

25. Eat before you go food shopping and always prepare a shopping list. Only buy food which relates to your weekly menu plan and don't be tempted to buy goodies.

Make sure that the right discipline is still practiced to promote consistency on the diet plan. This will lead eventually to a healthy life-style and a more fruitful living without the extra fat and extra pounds on the side.
