Llike how does that work? Why does speed of weight loss effect loose skin?
I’m just confused how the speed In which you lose weight effects skin elasticity.
Why is it that if you “lose weight too fast” you’ll have loose skin but that the skin is magically tighter if you lose it slower?
Is this true or is it a myth? And if it is true whats the reason for this?
Like hypothetically if i lost 50 in 4 months, vs 50lbs in a year how does that effect my skin?
In: Biology
I think it’s mostly myth. People that lose weight quickly also probably gained weight quickly, and stretch marks don’t naturally go away. I lost 80 lbs in 8 months a couple years ago and the only places I had loose skin were areas I had pre-existing stretch marks. Even there, it wasn’t really noticeable except to me.
Age and sex will also have a major effect on skin elasticity.
