how to keep weight off after dieting

Even though weight loss is a big burden to all, some how we find a solution and do something to reduce our weight, and most of all techniques that we use to lose weight, dieting stands above everything and without any doubt everyone will agree to this technique.

But the major part of our weight loss program doesn't stop there, the very important portion of this weight loss program is maintaining your weight after dieting.

You have dieted, exercised and slogged your way to the new you. You look better and glow as compliments come your way. But your joy is short lived. Within a few months, you see some of the weight slowly creeping back. The basement of You and your fundamentals starts shaking up. You panic, feel frustrated and immediately put  yourself on a crash diet. Sounds familiar? This is the common case of you and me and everyone. It's a pattern numerous dieters readily identify with to lose weight on a diet and then put it straight back on as soon as they return to their regular eating habits.  Now every one of us know that losing weight  is not as difficult as keeping the weight off after dieting. Do you agree?

If you nudge your head so fast, the key to maintaining your weight loss is to focus on permanent and realistic lifestyle changes. Of course, it is point blankly true that dieting will always help to lose weight, so you cannot follow a restrictive diet forever. It is equally important that you do not resume the diet and lifestyle you had before your weight loss. To keep weight off after dieting you need to permanently embrace the principles that helped you lose weight, proper eating and regular exercising.  For instance you might have been sticking to fruits as snacks when you felt hungry, then why you should opt now for burger, and sandwiches.  You might have been counting the staircase steps when you are on weight loss program, now you will be using the elevator.

Also don't ignore food portions and calorie counting once you stop dieting. But this doesn't mean that you have to stay away from the food for which your mouth waters, just make sure you have them in moderation. Taste it for the love, don't belly with it. It's always very simple and easy to keep weight off with a realistic and flexible eating plan.

       The method that you have used for losing weight plays a major role in helping you maintain the lost weight. If you have corrected your metabolism by detoxification and subsequently nourished your body with vitamins, minerals, anti oxidants with the help of health promoting food plan and exercise, you are more likely to keep weight off and maintain your lost weight as you have corrected your metabolism. However, if you have gone under die hard crash dieting plan and eaten less, you have more chances of putting the weight you lost.

       Your diet should include losts of fruits and vegetables. Whole grains, lean protein such as chicken and fish. Also, fibre rich food such as green leafy vegetables, fruits, beans, bran and whole grains fill you up and keep your digestive system healthy. Minimise intake of red meat.

        Minimise fat intake, it helps to keepo your weight stable and reduces your risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer. Opt for low fat dairy products such as skimmed milk and low fat youghurt.

        Avoid fried, processed, and fast food. Instead bake, grill or steam food. Replace sugary and salty snacks with fruits or whole grain crackers. Avoid or limit alcohol and colas both add unwanted calories.

         Exercise regularly, don't think that it should be done only to lose weight, but it is  important to keep weight off after dieting also. People who exercise find it easier to maintain their weight loss as compared to those who do not do. Being physically active helps you not only to burn calories, it also boosts your resting metabolic rate which means your body is working even when you actually are not.
