Lose weight = looking older??

I'm 56, and yes I definitely look older, but it's also been five years since I lost the weight, so I guess that's part of it too. It's funny because ever since since I lost weight, I see my grandmothers face in the mirror now, when before I looked nothing like her. (She was always thin)0

You should consider fasting occasionally(18 hrs min.) and taking extra collagen/gelatin(if your diet permits) to help your skin cells become more vibrant though autophagy and increased elasticity. This is anecdotal advice, as I can’t reference the EXACT studies that actually showed this.8

Gaining and losing weight, especially multiple times, does no ones skin good— at any age, but the longer your overweight, the more likely you are to have baggy skin on the face and otherwise.2

There's an expression that goes something like. "After 40 you choose *kitten* or face..."
Thin, you lose that fullness/youth in the face.
Fat, you keep that plumpness.
Sophie's choice...lol!2
