How to prevent droopy skin

JulieF11

I have had many, many people ask why I don't have "bat wings" under my arms and /or droopy thighs, etc (my stomach skin has actually "improved" since losing weight). Well, here's my secret... I researched foods that help repair or support your skin, and have incorporated them into my diet. Hope it helps you too...

Try eating the following:

1) Mangoes, Strawberries
2) Avocados, Cucumbers, Celery, Asparagus, Green Beans, Leeks and mushrooms
3) Nuts (walnuts and Brazil nuts mostly)
4) Flaxseed Oil (mix it in oatmeal, or salad dressing)
5) Baked Potatoes and sweet potatoes
6) Kale and Spinach

How about blueberries? I think any berry is good for the skin.

Yes, I should have included them... but you are right, all berries are full of anti-oxidants. Thanks for bringing that up! :-)

Thanks for the tips Julie. This has been a topic of discussion at our house lately, "what about all the extra skin"?

Thanks for the post. This is great info. I am down 137 and this is starting to become and issue for me.

I already eat some of those foods, so hopefully my thighs will start looking better soon. I don't really have droopy skin, but I do have some crazy stretch marks.

I am relieved that there are no lotions on the list.

I feel like the slower you lose the weight, the faster and easier your skin adapts!

All foods I like and eat already! This is becoming my issue now, not so much because of weight loss but because of child birth! I was wondering if my tummy would ever be less jelly looking. It has flattened out quite a bit but looks saggy to me still. Of course aren't we always our biggest critics! Thanks for the info!
