My wife showed me this amazing video. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/32233707#31846938

Congratulations to this guy and his trainer who took a very reasonable approach. Looking forward to the airing of this show. This really goes to show the value of someone coming alongside another person giving them hope and encouragement!

John, Do any of your supplements help with the 'skin-shrink' problem that this guy has? I don't mean a magic bullet, but is there anything natural a guy can do in that situation besides surgery? I'm guessing not.

Enjoy,
Jake

"Extra Skin" seems to be a misnomer propagated by plastic surgeons. There is still a layer of fat inside that skin keeping it stretched out. Plastic surgeons were unable to find one case of their "loose skin" syndrome in a person at or under 7% body fat. The lack of even a single subject caused a proposed study to be impossible...but that canceled study tells us something in itself. "Loose Skin" isn't just skin.

Proof 1 - Pinch the skin on the back of your hand. That is skin. Nearly paper thin. That isn't what you see in abdominal "skin folds" because what you are seeing is skin and fat. Skin isn't inches deep, even on the bottom of your foot.

Proof 2 - WWII prison camps. Those folks lost a ton of weight and there was no hanging skin in sight. Heartbreaking imagery to be sure, but their skin was tight as a drum. No folds.

Proof 3 - More and more plastic surgeons are using lipo to cause the body to shrink it's own "skin".
