Many people who have managed to lose a significant amount of weight in a short period of time, to their chagrin, notice that the quality of their skin leaves much to be desired.
Unfortunately, sagging skin on the stomach and other areas that occurs as a result of rapid weight loss is, in most cases, an irreversible process.
What to do to prevent sagging skin
There is only one answer – try to make the weight loss process happen slowly and gradually.
How fast can you lose weight
The rate of weight loss can vary and depends on many factors. A number of scientific studies indicate that a safe rate of weight loss is considered to be 3-4 kilograms per month.
Losing weight more quickly can lead to a variety of health problems, including sagging skin and a slower metabolism.
This happens because the body goes into energy saving mode when it sees that its resources are being depleted.
It is important to understand that the ultimate goal is not weight loss itself, but the ability to maintain a stable weight in the future. Gradual weight loss helps maintain health and avoid possible risks associated with rapid weight loss.
Earlier we talked about why fasting should not be seen as a diet.
