Flabby or what some might call hanging skin can be a huge problem with weight loss.  It is common in the areas of arms, chest and especially the stomach.  Having children can sometimes bring on these stubborn issues.

I'm here to tell you that there are ways to prevent, decrease, diminish and possibly permanently get rid of flabby skin.

There a few things that we must clear up first.  Hanging and excess skin from extreme weight loss has to surgically be altered.  For someone who carried around alot of weight for many years may be at risk for hanging skin.   Although this may not be everyone, there are factors involved to where it may not affect the person at all.  Things such as how quickly you put on and lost the weight, how long you carried the weight, genetics and how familiar/accustomed your body is to diet and exercise.   Of course our age plays a huge role as well.  The older we get the more our skin loses elasticity and collagen.

The number one way to help with saggy skin is to exercise and build muscle.  Dieting alone can leave you looking flabby and disproportionate.  Building muscle will get you a more toned appearance and shape your body.   Core workouts are great for altering how shapely your stomach is.  By not building muscle your stomach can make it look like you still have fat to lose and gushy.   Strength training and calisthenics are a great way to build muscle.  It doesn't require an elaborate gym membership and heavy weights.  Your body weight is enough resistance for you to build muscle tone. 
*I'll get to those details soon.

Another reason why people experience flabby skin is because they are not eating enough.  After your body has used fat for energy it starts to eat away at the muscle fibers for energy, thus leaving you with little to no muscle tone.

Eating protein also helps build the muscle fibers.  In fact protein are the major building blocks of muscle.  Eating all the healthy food in the world excluding protein will not help you build muscle.  As women we need at least 46 grams of protein daily.  You will be able to find protein in your lean meats such as fish and turkey and many vegetables such as beans and peas are among the top healthy foods with protein.
