Weight Re-Gain Part 1:
If you have reached your goal weight and muscle mass, it can be difficult to maintain over time. A lot of maintenance is directly affected by your attitude.
You must realize that you can NOT go back to the food choices that you were making and the quantity of food that you were eating before you lost the weight. You’re not dieting; you made a life-change! If not, you may be like the 70-90 % of people who re-gain what they just took off. According to the International Journal of Obesity, “In weight loss by obese patients, usually about ½ the weight is re-gained in the first year with weight continual weight re-gain continuing from there.” It seems dismal but it doesn’t have to be.
It’s dangerous to repeatedly gain and lose weight. Weight cycling can make your metabolism less efficient (www.burnthefat.com). Information is power. Create a plan to make sure you keep the weight off. Tomorrow we’ll talk about what you can do to keep your body in its healthiest state.
