The first two pictures on the left were taken in December 2013, when I weighed 145 kg; the middle photos (weight: 65 kg) are from February 2015; and the images on the right (weight: 63 kg) are from March 2015. As you can see, my skin eventually really did ‘lie on’ my muscles as soon as it stopped being stretched by any residual fat. This might not work for extreme amounts of sagging abdominal skin. But it’s clear that slightly to moderately saggy skin benefits more from losing additional fat and building up muscle than from slow weight reduction. From personal experience, therefore, I would say that the main way to get tight skin is a thorough process of fat reduction.

I assume that the reason losing weight slowly is thought to produce better results in terms of sagging skin is the longer comparison period. When someone loses weight quickly and makes a before-and-after comparison within a year, their skin will probably look slacker than that of someone who loses weight slowly and makes the before-and-after comparison after three years. But skin doesn’t stop getting tighter at the moment when that final kilo is lost. If the fast weight-loser makes another before-and-after comparison after three years, his or her skin will probably look much tighter.

There are several things that can help you to gain tighter skin after losing weight:

weight training, to fill some of the lost ‘mass’ with muscle;

endurance training, to stimulate the blood supply to the skin;

a vitamin-rich, high protein diet, to promote the repair process;

moisturiser, to stop your skin from becoming too dry;

and cling wrap and coffee-ground body wraps — as weight-loss methods, these kinds of poultices are quackery, but they can actually help remove fluid from body tissue and so help to make your skin tauter. Wraps don’t reduce fat, but they do reduce girth and promote tighter skin.
