Beautiful skin

Have you ever wondered why it is that many people who have lost a lot of weight don’t look very healthy?

Their skin and hair have lost their elasticity and shine.

I know there are a lot of reasons to lose weight, health probably being the primary concern. But frankly my motivation is also to look good! And if I can’t look better by losing weight (rather than worse) then I’m not so sure I want to do that!

There seem to be a few keys to keeping beautiful skin while you lose weight:

  1. Lose weight slowly. 1 or 2 pounds per week.
  2. Stay hydrated. This keeps your skin moist.
  3. Use body lotion regularly, and massage your skin to help it shrink with your body.
  4. Don’t cut out fats and oils altogether. A little healthy fat (an avocado or some olive oil) are not out of place in a healthy diet.
  5. Get some exercise to improve circulation and keep moving.

If you do these five things, you will emerge from your fat loss journey without the saggy skin that undermines what you were hoping to achieve by losing weight!
