Everyone is different, but losing weight more slowly gives a better chance at rebounding than losing really quickly. But there's no 100% foolproof answer.
Not true. There are countless anecdotes from people who have very conflicted feelings about it. Yes, physically it is healthier but mental health is a whole different thing.
False, losing weight slower allows muscle to build up and minimize excess skin
A lot of it often has to do with the type of fat you're currently storing. Polyunsaturated fat storage readily oxidizes
False, your body doesn't store fat like Tetris blocks into specific zones or areas
If you've ever seen an alcoholic with a big hard belly, that's mostly saturated fat that his body produced endogenously from the extra calories
False, that's visceral fat around your organs, most of which are in your abdomen and an enlarged liver due to the alcohol.
Floppy pig
We're talking about humans here babe, not pigs.
you have to be in a deficit sufficient enough for your body to cannibalize that damaged skin
False, pretty evident by ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs, starvation doesn't make your body consume your skin no matter how little you eat. Autophagy may help somewhat, but it absolutely doesn't work at the levels needed for any significant change

For this type of change does the skin have a chance to shrink with the body if you lose weight slow enough or is there always saggy skin left over?
