Thing is a fat body isn’t youthful, in fact as we get older it is very ageing, the fat tummy, matronly bust, wobbly thighs and bum. I am always surprised when people think a fat face is youthful. It’s not, it’s just a fat face, and it’s on top of a fat body, it is not a youthful look, who jist looks at someone’s face and not the body, no one. I have never ever looked at a fat person, myself included, and thought wow, being fat really knocks years off them, if it did, we’d all want to be fat.
but being a slim healthy weight does knock years off most people, a flat tummy, smaller bust, a waistline, slim lower half. We can all see the before and after images on line.
however obviously you need to lose weight in the right way, max 2lbs a week, make protecting muscle a priority, do strength training. And it neans when you hit goal, you don’t look saggy and wrinkly, too many focus on the number on the scale only.
however on saying that, I did have some wrinkly skin when I hit goal, not much, even though I worked hard, but I can honestly say after 7 months in maintenance it’s pretty much gone, apart from very minor on my upper arms, which I’m continuing to work on, it’s barely noticeable now though,
once weight stabilises as long as we then focus on body recomp, and did the work during the weight loss phase, it’s quick to see improvements, obviously much depends on genetics and how much you had to lose, and how long you were fat for though.
