Tightning skin

[GEEK2FREAK]

I hope this is in the right forum, Ive got a friend (6'0" 230lbs 30+ % body fat) how has a protruding gut with a few stretch marks. But he is loosing weight like crazy about 7lbs a week from adipex. Is there anything he can take or do to help draw the skin in as well?

There isnt alot of skin that is sagging now, but im sure when he looses 20-30 more lbs he will have it.

Just let me know.

Losing weight that quickly could cause the skin to sag or be loose.....the skin could adapt better & shrink if weight is lost more slowly-- the loose skin usually stems from a quick weight loss.....

If his skin doesn't eventually shrink back, his only solution is surgery

that sucks, cause he put on alot of weight quickly and is loosing if fast as hell. Im going to talk him into taking it for a months time, then cutting off for a month or 2 and tell him to keep his diet in check. That is the only thing i can think of.

If he's 30% now and losing weight fast, hes going to have some skin sag for sure that will take time and possibly a tuck to correct. The skin tightening creams etc. don't work. Hopefully time will fix his problem. Im including a link to a really good simple article to read. Sagging Skin Facts

You must spread some Karma around before giving it to RuckstaR again.

It just really sucks cause he is very goal oriented right now and i saw it coming once he started loosing the weight. Hes not going to be happy with his results.

Thanks. Hang in there an your K will grow

Maybe you could inspire him to go for weight loss fueled by solid diet and muscle gain rather than an efficient med. The weight loss fueled this way is going to be faaaaar more gradual, therebye leaving less sag on his body, but at the same time he will be achieving other goals....ie. gaining more muscle and strength. In this regard it could be looked at as a win win situation as he is accomplishing more than just fat loss, and he could still be goal oriented.

Makes sense, much abliged.
