When losing weight, how can you prevent the hanging extra skin from happening?

Losing Weight
Celia asked:


What causes it? Is it from losing weight too quickly, or not exercising, or both? What is considered too quickly anyway? I know they say healthy weight loss is one to two pounds per week, so is anything more than that going to cause your skin to hang?

    the key is toning your body while you lose weight. if u just lose weight then you will not look as good. you have to incorperate toning with eating healthy~

    Both. Actually, it’s caused by the fact that your skin stretched out and has lost collagen so it’s having a hard time shrinking back down.
    But, excercising firms up the muscles, which makes the skin look tighter. And losing weight slowly allows your skin time to shrink as you lose, so the stretching isn’t so obvious.
    I know that it’ll shrink down eventually, but you may always have some extra skin–depending on genetics, your level of collagen in the skin and how much stretching the skin did.
    Good luck!
