Loose skin is a common problem after weight loss and is mostly caused by low-carb, low-protein diets and diets that promote rapid weight loss.
When you lose weight, especially when you have rapid weight loss, the fat layers of this layer of skin are lost and the skin does not have enough time to stretch itself, in order to adapt.

Never try to lose a large amount of weight too quickly.Keep the weight loss gradual and long-term.Limit weight loss to one to two pounds per week. The skin is extremely elastic. For example, during pregnancy, women’s skin has the ability to expand and contract, and it returns to normal again. Skin elasticity tends to decrease with age. Parts of sagging skin that are the result of the environment can be corrected, but those that are related to your genetics and age cannot be corrected.
The role of protein in the skin
Collagen and elastin are two substances that are effective in keeping the skin elastic and fat. Eat a balanced diet with enough protein. Protein is important for skin elasticity. Collagen is one of the most abundant proteins in the body. If there is not enough dietary protein, collagen will be destroyed and you will find loose skin with wrinkles. A diet with proteins such as (cheese, milk, beans, seeds, nuts, fish) which all contain collagen and elastin are effective in maintaining the skin.

Preventing facial skin from loosening after weight loss
There is no principled weight loss diet in the world that will have a negative effect on your skin, unfortunately the problem starts where some people go on a diet on their own or do not properly follow the diet that is set for them. It happens that after some time they have to look for a solution for their loose and sagging skin.
to report Medical and health news Quoting Hamshahri online, he wrote; Dr. Mohammad Hashemi, nutritionist and diet therapy specialist, tells you what to do so that your skin does not get damaged during the weight loss period.
- Loosening and wrinkling of the skin is one of the side effects of weight loss, especially weight loss that happens quickly and in a short period of time. There are different types of cells in different layers of the skin; The cells on the outer part of the skin are constantly being destroyed, but they are replaced by new cells under the skin. The cells in the inner and deeper layers of the skin are naturally more flexible. During weight loss, flexible layers are the most damaged. The fat in these layers is lost due to weight loss and their flexibility is not fully maintained. On the other hand, there is not enough opportunity to stretch towards adaptation. That’s why the skin looks loose and droopy after extreme weight loss diets. Of course, in addition to weight loss, other factors are also effective in reducing skin adaptation, among which we can mention malnutrition, smoking, aging, exposure to sunlight for a long time, and dehydration.
- The important thing is that with age, the skin loses its elasticity. For this reason, it is better to reach your ideal weight when you are young and get rid of excess weight. In this case, you will have more chances to return the skin to its original state.
- Avoiding yo-yo diets or, in other words, weight loss and subsequent weight gain is also effective in reducing the side effects of sagging skin.
- Since the process of tightening the skin is slow and slow, the weight loss process should also be gradual. In fact, proper weight loss occurs when you make fundamental changes in your lifestyle and daily eating pattern. Of course, implementing these changes will take time, but it will prevent you from falling into the trap of yo-yo diets and reduce the possibility of sagging skin, so it is recommended to avoid strict diets in a short period of time and focus on losing a maximum of one kilo per week.
- It is recommended to follow an exercise program while following the diet. Exercise not only helps you lose weight faster, but also makes your skin look better. Aerobic sports such as running, swimming, cycling and using light weights can also prevent sagging skin after weight loss. Building muscle with strength exercises causes the formation of muscle under the skin and prevents the skin from sagging.
- Hydrated skin is one of the important signs of the health of this organ, so it is better to always have a bottle of water with you. Drink at least two liters of water a day and also avoid unhealthy drinks. Drinks such as coffee, tea, and carbonated soft drinks cause increased urination and subsequent loss of more body water due to their caffeine content. Also, use moisturizing creams daily and don’t forget that enough sleep is also very effective in this case.
- Elastin and collagen are two essential substances that are effective in skin elasticity. A proper diet with sufficient protein plays an important role in maintaining skin elasticity. Collagen is one of the most abundant proteins in the body. If the protein in the daily diet is not enough, collagen will be destroyed and the skin will look loose and wrinkled. A suitable diet with protein sources such as cheese, milk, beans, nuts and fish, which have collagen and elastin, will be effective in maintaining skin health.
- Don’t forget to take antioxidants and vitamins to tighten your skin. During the period of weight loss, use multivitamin and mineral supplements so that all nutrients reach your body sufficiently. Vitamins E, A, K, C and group B vitamins are important nutrients for skin health.
- Consuming sprouts helps to maintain the health of the skin during the weight loss period. In the sprouting process, the amount of vitamins and proteins increases and the carbohydrates and energy in it decrease. Also, in the process of sprouting, many changes are formed inside the seeds, which are very useful and enrich the nutrients in them. Seed sprouts contain nutrients such as vitamins B6, B12, vitamin C, vitamin E and the mineral selenium. Selenium is a very important antioxidant that plays an important role in cancer prevention. Also, the magnesium in the sprouts helps the muscles work properly.
