How to Reduce Weight and Maintain Firm Skin

Maintain firm skin with good diet

You can lose weight and maintain tight skin in the process, provided you don't already have a lot of loose skin. The goal is to consistently maintain your body well hydrated. YOU MUST NEVER EVER ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE DEHYDRATED. Always remember to stay hydrated throughout the day and never completely cut out carbohydrates. In my experience, the majority of people who dropped weight too quickly by cutting out their carbohydrates ended up with a lot of extra skin. The main point of losing weight is to get healthier and, of course, to look better both in clothing and out of them. Here are some pointers:

1. Adopt a balanced, well-rounded diet, such as my insulin response diet, which is available at http://www.tbfinc.com.

2. Every four weeks, alternate a split workout plan with a full-body training routine. For instance, a complete body program lasting four weeks, a split routine lasting four weeks, and so forth.

3. If you don't take blood thinners or have stomach ulcers, you should additionally take ONE TEASPOON of cold-pressed Arctic cod liver oil WITH your evening meal ONCE A DAY.

4. Consume 1,000–1,500 milligrams of lecithin daily. Lecithin has been observed to make skin more elastic.

5. You should try to enhance circulation in whatever way you can. Excellent skin-brushing procedures exist. To find all the information you require, conduct a skin brushing online search. Also beneficial are deep massages.

6. If you are overweight by more than 75 pounds, you should avoid trying to lose weight too quickly. It will be simpler for you to lose weight on this regimen as you gain weight, so start out gently and aim to drop no more than 3 pounds per week. This will stop the skin from sagging. 90% of the time, if you lose weight too quickly, you'll have loose skin.

7. Although weekly body wraps have been quite successful for some of my clients, they can be messy. This is something you can do, but it's not really necessary.

You can also choose to take the dietary supplement collagen.



As I mentioned above, keeping your body well-hydrated is one way to increase the flexibility of your skin. Water consumption will do this. Per pound of body weight, the average human requires at least one ounce of water. Possibly more, depending on the kind of everyday exercise you engage in. Many people experience loose skin after losing weight as a result of low-carb diets, which cause the body to become dehydrated. The scale will move down if you lose weight while still being dehydrated, but the majority of the weight lost is just water weight, which is bad. You are doing well if you are shedding two to three pounds per week. You are pushing it if you are shedding more than 4–6 pounds. If you lose weight at a rate of more than 6 pounds per week, there is a good probability that you may have loose skin afterward since you are probably cutting out too many carbohydrates from your diet. The best outcomes come from avoiding processed sugars, flours, and breads.

Additionally, use how your clothes fit more as a gauge of your success than stepping on the scale each week. I usually advise my clients to put on their most restrictive pair of trousers, follow my program for four weeks, and then put them back on. After four weeks, those constricting jeans will be history.

You will get satisfactory outcomes if you follow all of the preceding advice.
