It is interesting what you say about autophagy. I lost around 50 pounds a few years ago, quite quickly, and found that I had some loose skin around my tummy and thighs. Not really bad - but enough to notice.
I thought it was just the long term price of putting on weight and then losing it. However after a few weeks and months, my skin started to firm up until it looked almost normal. I was following a ketogenic diet (to keep off the weight) and I am sure that helped with the process of replacing my skin cells.
Of course, a few years later, the weight went back on - and here I am!
