Congratulations! Youve lost excess weight by taking control of your bad eating habits and you have never felt more confident. Now you need to know how to maintain your healthy weight loss so that you continue to feel good. The good news is that by undertaking a healthy weight loss regime instead of a fad diet, it will be easier to maintain your new trim figure! The following tips are not only easy to follow but are essential for overall health and wellbeing.
1.Regular Exercise
As part of your healthy weight loss programme you probably engaged in an intensive cardio and strength training programme. While it is important that you continue to exercise, regular exercise means that your diet can relax a little, you dont have to continue such an intensive regime. Instead, aim to exercise most days of the week for at least 30 minutes.
2.Be Smart When Throwing a Party
When throwing a party people usually supply lots of goodies; crisps, chocolate, sausages, chips etc! Now that youve achieved healthy weight loss dont be sucked in to gaining back the pounds; if you are throwing a party in your home take the time to plan delicious food that is healthier than those normally found at such soirees. Crisps can be of the baked variety, chocolate can have high coca content and you can cook tasty appetisers that your guests will love but wont ruin your new waistline!
3.Eat Small Quantities
Although you may organise a healthy dinner party, dont expect everyone else will too. If you find yourself at a party, surrounded by tempting, unhealthy food, you should remember that unless you eat large quantities you wont regain the weight that easily. So treat yourself to a few items on the table, the important thing is that you know when to stop.
4.Remember to Check Why Youre Eating
Its important to check that youre not eating because you are bored or stressed. If youve had a bad day, dont reach for the biscuit tin, go for a walk instead or meet a friend for a chat. You may not feel like exercising at the time but you will feel so much better afterwards.
5.Plan Your Meals
By making a healthy breakfast each morning, packing a healthy lunch for work and having a planned healthy meal each evening, you will minimise the potential for snacking on junk food. Make sure that you bring plenty of fruit, nuts and seeds for snacking on in work. If you know youre going to be home late some evenings make a healthy meal the day before and pop it in the oven when you get home from work.
If you follow all of the above easy tips you will be on track to maintain your amazing new figure, good luck!
