- Build Muscle (THIS is #1)
When people lose weight & without lean muscle they look “skinny-fat”
When they build muscle, the skin looks tighter because it’s filled out underneath
It also increases ATP, your natural ENERGY stores for repair and replacement.
Action Steps -
- Strength training of some sort 3-4x/week
- Progressive overload - gradual
- Prioritize glutes, legs, back, chest, shoulders as you age
Muscle is what tightens the body, not just losing weight.
The Body is Smart - If you don't use it, you lose it.
2. High Protein = Skin Support
Skin is made of protein (collagen + amino acids)
If protein is low, skin repair is poor and low too.
How much?
- 0.7- 1g protein per lb body weight daily or desired bodyweight
- Collagen-rich foods help (bone broth, gelatin, slow-cooked meats)
Support Supplements?
- Glycine, proline, vitamin C, silica support collagen production
