Throwing off kilograms is half the battle. Much more difficult to maintain weight for the rest of your life. How many times have you lost weight and then got better again? At the same time, not only thrown off kilograms were returned, but also a couple of extra ones. To avoid this, you should follow simple rules.
Eliminate the cause of jamming
The easiest way is for those who have gained extra pounds due to a sedentary lifestyle and late dinners. It is more difficult when the cause of weight gain was the "seizing" of stress and problems. If during the diet it was not possible to deal with the problem of "seizing" on your own, then it is better to turn to a psychologist for help.
Continue what you started
When the weight reaches the desired mark, this does not mean that you can return to the previous diet. Do not neglect proper nutrition, walks and a gym. The body has an internal memory that stores information about the previous weight for quite some time. Determine how many kilocalories you need to consume per day in order to maintain weight. And the gym and walks in the fresh air will help not to gain too much if you overdo it a bit with junk food.
Save good habits
Eat everything, but in small portions. Do not get carried away with fatty meat, sausages, smoked meats and so on. Be careful with butter, sour cream, milk, cheeses. As with diet, give preference to low-fat foods. Do not forget to eat vegetables and fruits in sufficient quantities. Drink water 20 minutes before eating.
Weigh yourself weekly
Weekly weighing will help control your weight. Do not forget, weight can and will fluctuate. And in order not to become discouraged, define a “critical figure” and try not to cross its borders. But if it so happens that you have reached the "critical figure", immediately take action. It’s quite easy to drive off the recently gained weight, but “stale” will cause a lot of trouble.
Do not be afraid of disruptions
If a breakdown occurs, then in no case do not scold yourself. Self-flagellation will lead to stress, and he, in turn, to excess weight gained. Count how many calories you ate. If the figure is quite impressive, then decide for yourself that you have an unplanned cheat. The next day, just return to proper nutrition and in no case do not starve. In addition, understand yourself, because of which a breakdown was caused, and try not to allow this anymore.
