I was having a conversation with a friend yesterday and she told me that one of her friends used to be over 400 pounds and lost her weight the traditional way. She had no skin issues because she drank a ton of skim milk while she was losing weight. I did a Google search and there seems to be some truth to this. Has anyone experienced better skin elasticity by doing this?

After 80 pounds I am starting to feel a little.... hmmm, squishy. So besides exercise and cocoa butter I am looking for the best angle to deal with excess skin with additional surgery being an absolute last option.

LOL..You made me laugh!!!!!

Skim milk eh!!! I wonder if we could just bathe in it......would that help? No just kidding...If it works....that would be amazing!

I was told to drink Skimmed milk by my Nutritionist. Not for any stated skin elasticity but because of nutrient/protein value and its low fat ratio.

Values which are stripped out of/missing in things like Soya/Almond milk.

Consequently and since day one, i've drunk it in my tea and drunk it in my shakes. I don't know whether it has made much of a difference...

However, I just asked my man whether he thinks my skin has been 'good' at shrinking back. He said 'totally, the things you thought were going to go 'wrong' haven't. You're looking really good'

Guess that's a winner? Is it genetics? Is it the milk? Who knows.. i know I will need a TT for sure.. But it's all good and if you want to try it - it can't hurt?

Doesn't taste bad either!

last time I was at the Dr they told me "no milk"...not even skim, they want ALL my liquids to be 0 calorie! (it made me sad...I was craving milk at the time)

Sad!!

I've never heard this urban legend. I've heard of all the expensive potions, exercises, etc to get rid of hanging skin.

Truthfully the only things that help with ur skin elasticity is heredity, age, and luck. Not the rate at which u lose or exercises will help. I highly doubt that drinking anything, especially milk will help.

But milk is healthy so drink up!

I think it is mostly genetics and AGE!!! At my age, my elasticity has dwindled and I really don't think anything including skim milk is going to refurbish it!!! Give me til next fall and I'll let you know for sure!!!
