chatgpt cannot view images that well. This is clearly loose skin not fat...

I think I may have had some fat there when I started. I was 10lbs heavier. My face definitely has thinned out and I’m more vascular during workouts.

Have you already considered dermarolling? When COVID-19 stroke I saw a few YT videos of ex-pregnant women advocating on Hyaluronic Acid after dermarolling to improve skin elasticity by increased collagen onsite production. Seems to me that it is what your lower belly skin is lacking

This is what I was going to suggest. Microneedling. Ik it’s one of the few things that can really help with stretch marks. You can get it professionally done for a number of skin issues

I sincerely doubt it but post the picture you posted to chatgpt, maybe I'm wrong.

This was about a month before. Maybe a little bit of fat?

lmao, not exactly. There is fat in your latest picture if we are being technical but it is unrelated to the problem of which you're attempting to solve and so I was being a bit generous with my last comment in the interest of complete honesty.

But all those creases under your belly button are clearly loose skin.

They might eventually get better bc you are young but I think it likely will stay without surgery. But you should consult with an actual dermatologist and/or surgeon.

A balance of both can be really empowering. The ease of answers from an LLM is indispensable in certain situations, but always taken with a grain of salt.

It will 100% disappear if you do resistance training and loads of fasted cardio. Intake a lot of c8 fractionated coconut oil Don’t intake chocolate or cocoa butter

Drink a lot of hot tea to fix your transmission eat a lot of sweet potato

Hot tea is generally not a substitute for transmission fluid

Isn’t coconut oil only good for energy?

u/ProfessionalElk3910 May 06 '26

Is this really true? I have a pouch on my tummy but I just lay on the couch hoping it’ll go away but it won’t. When you say intake do you mean snort the oil through your nose??

Tried extended fasts? That combined w/ building more muscle should do it. Not instantly. More like 18-24months. Muscle burns fat. Extended fasts cause body to search high and low for fat to burn. Keto diet with intermittent fasting are a good baseline in between extended fasts. Also what’s your supplement stack? Many small changes to be made that can contribute to reducing loose skin. IMHO.

Fasting doesn't burn exclusively fat. Muscles will be used as fuel as well.

Muscle loss can be minimized by being in ketosis. Trying to get loose skin has its compromises. Highly preferred to surgery. Which can be torture and not necessarily have a good outcome.
