3 Tips To Avoid Getting Loose Skin

One of the biggest concerns those who have a lot of weight and fat to lose is getting loose skin after the weight and fat is decreased. In today's post, I would like to talk about 3 simple and quick principles to avoid getting loose skin once you lose weight.


Principle #1 - SLOW DOWN - The faster you lose weight, the higher the chances are that you are going to have loose skin once the weight is lost. It's ideal for you to aim at losing no more than 2-3 pounds per week. The faster you lose weight the higher the chances are that you will also lose muscle. That leads me to principle number two.

Principle #2 - BUILD MUSCLE - No, you don't have to become Ronnie Coleman, but you should have some type of weight training regimen to help you build lean muscle. Replacing the fat you are losing with muscle will help in preventing you from having sagging and loose skin.

Also, with doing cardio exercises, make sure you do not do long cardio sessions without having enough calories consumed. Doing so will cause muscle loss....and muscle loss will obviously lead to loose skin. The best type of cardio exercise I recommend is short high intensity cardio exercises such as the incline treadmill and sprinting. You can get a good gut busting workout with those workouts in just 10-20 minutes!

Principle #3 - AVOID FAD DIETS - Fad diets are typically those types of diets which promote fast and easy weight loss by dramatically reducing calories (starvation), liquid dieting, etc. Attempting to lose weight on fad diets can not only cause loose skin, but can also cause a myriad of other health concerns such as a slower metabolism, and more.

So, if you want to avoid getting loose skin, I recommend for you to eat frequently through out the day(this will help boost your metabolism) is a good nutritional plan that can will create a customized meal plan for you), do not dramatically reduce your calorie intake, try not to lose no more than 3 pounds per week, and make sure you build lean muscle.
