Does weight loss involve first becoming loose and then losing weight

During the weight loss process, fat consumption usually does not directly cause the meat to become loose, but gradually tightens as the body fat percentage decreases. Body fat loss is related to factors such as skin elasticity, muscle mass, and weight loss rate. Rapid weight loss may cause skin laxity. When healthy weight loss occurs, the reduction in adipocyte volume is first reflected in the decrease of visceral fat and subcutaneous deep fat, and at this time, the changes in body shape may not be significant. With continuous exercise and dietary control, subcutaneous superficial fat gradually metabolizes and muscle lines begin to appear. If the muscle mass is sufficient and the weight loss rate is moderate, the skin collagen fibers will have enough time to adapt to contraction, and instead will present a tight state. Aerobic exercise combined with resistance training can help maintain muscle mass, while foods rich in omega-3 such as olive oil and deep-sea fish can help maintain skin elasticity.

Rapid weight loss exceeding 5% of monthly body weight in the short term, or lack of protein intake leading to muscle loss, may cause the skin to relax without time to contract. Groups with advanced age, multiple pregnancies, and long-term smoking are more prone to this condition due to poor skin elasticity. At this point, it is necessary to adjust the weight loss strategy, supplement nutrients such as collagen peptides and vitamin C, and use beauty instruments such as radiofrequency and microcurrent to stimulate collagen regeneration. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that those with spleen deficiency and excessive dampness are prone to soft and excess fat, and can use spleen strengthening herbs such as Poria cocos and atractylodes macrocephala to replace tea drinks.

It is recommended to adopt a safe speed of losing 0.5-1 kilograms per week, with a daily protein intake of no less than 1.2 grams per kilogram of body weight, and alternating between strength training and aerobic exercise. During bathing, using a bristle brush to dry brush the limbs or practicing the Eight Section Brocade to regulate the spleen and stomach can promote metabolism and tighten the skin. If there is obvious relaxation, you can consult a professional physician for traditional Chinese medicine thread embedding or modern medical aesthetics evaluation.
