  • This mechanism
  • evolved as a defence against starvation
    • Charlie Freij
       
      So your body begins to hoard fat because it thinks you are going to need it later. 
  • never going below 1,000-1,200 calories a day if you're dieting on your own
    • Charlie Freij
       
      Never go below 1000 calories a day.
  • Ultimately, muscle burns a lot more calories than fat so when we lose muscle, our metabolic rate drops and we burn fewer calories

The Truth About Excess Skin | The Dr. Oz Show - 0 views

  • The Truth About Excess Skin
    • mayaeri
       
      I predict that the article will be about how being overweight gives you excess skin
  • Where my stomach, legs and arms had previously been distended with fat, there was now some excess skin. Over a period of time, some of this firmed up with concentrated cardio and weight training, but only to a certain point. After 12 years and 4 more babies, it is as good as it’s going to get.
  • Does it bother me? A bit. Would I not have lost the weight had I known about the excess skin? No. It doesn't bother me that much, and the benefits of not weighing 300 pounds certainly outweigh any cosmetic issues. The issues I have are minor compared with the issues
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • There are people who have had gastric bypass surgery and lost tons of weight so quickly that their skin doesn't rebound at all. In those cases, plastic surgery may be a necessity, not just an option.
  • The skin is not attractive externally, but in some ways it reminds me of where I was and where I never want to go again. Don't be frightened by the prospect of excess skin if you have a large amount of weight to lose. If the skin bothers you, cosmetic surgery is an option that although pricey, offers very nice results.
    • mayaeri
       
      Excess skin is something that comes along with weight loss yes there is skin reducing cream but also there are surgeries that are there but during weight loss there is not much dodging of excess skin
