Weight Loss is possible!
How To Maintain Weight Loss
Shedding that extra weight is not easy and keeping that weight off can be difficult. Simply taking a long hard look at how you are dieting could help you maintain your weight loss.
Keep That Weight Off!
You need to keep in mind that your weight gain did not take place over night and that it isn’t going to magically disappear. This means that there are no quick diet cures that will help you maintain your optimal body weight.
To help you lose weight, try to set up a lifetime diet that is as natural as possible. Remove as many processed foods as you can from your diet. This will help you reduce your caloric intake while increasing the quality of the foods you eat. In this way, you will remain healthy while losing weight.
A great way to keep weight off is to join a cycling group. There are cycling groups in every city and all it takes to find them is a quick internet search. Not only will you be burning lots of calories, it’s also a great way to meet people.
When dieting for weight loss, avoid alcoholic drinks as much as possible. Alcoholic drinks are even worse than soda for empty calories and provide absolutely no nutritional value. You can reduce your intake by cutting beverages with sparkling tonic water or other similar diet-friendly options that will allow you to cut back without feeling deprived.
Losing weight and keeping it off can be helped along with the consumption of walnuts. Studies have found that they can keep you satisfied longer than traditional breakfasts. Walnuts are a wonderful snack when you are hungry and contain good fats as well as being beneficial for the brain.[instantazon id=’wpis_1485695151′]
If you want to keep the weight off, try to eat all carbohydrates and fatty foods before 5pm. At night your metabolism goes down and as you sleep you don’t burn that many calories. Keeping carbs and fatty foods confined to morning and afternoon hours ensures peak fat burning while you’re awake and moving around.
Try 16:8
There is a “diet” option called 16:8, that many people use without having to count calories or carbs, it is one of the “fasting” type diets. The 16:8 refers to the hours in the day. You fast for 16 hours and eat only in the 8 hours. The reasoning is that the fat burning hormone comes into play only when the body starts to feel hungry, maybe at breakfast time. If you can postpone breakfast until say 11.00am, then you get the benefit of having fasted all night plus those few extra hours, where you didn’t eat breakfast. You can eat what you like for 8 hours, that is from 11.00 am until 7pm and then nothing after that. You can switch the hours to suit yourself.
