Yo-Yo Dieting Advice
Yes. Eating too much and becoming overweight thickens the layer of fat under your skin and consequently stretches it. Crash dieting can then results in your skin collapsing, thus leading to the appearance of lines and wrinkles. What's more, a crash diet will deprive your skin and body of the essential nutrients they need to stay healthy and look good. If you need to lose weight, do it slowly, sensible and steadily to give your skin time to acclimatize. Consult your doctor before starting any weight loss program.
Daily Diet Advice
Fresh raw vegetables and salads provide your body and skin with valuable nutrients. Aim to eat five portions of fruits and vegetables a day. Here is a typical day diet you can follow:
Breakfast: Glass of unsweetened fruit juice, a chopped banana and semi-skimmed milk, 2 slices of whole wheat toast with a scraping of low fat spread.
Lunch: Baked potato filled with low-fat cottage cheese and plenty of fresh, raw salad, one low fat yogurt.
Evening meal: Grilled fish or chicken with boiled brown rice and plenty of steamed vegetables. Fresh fruit salad, topped with natural yogurt and nuts.
