7 Ways to Maintain Healthy Weight Loss

If you’ve worked hard to achieve healthy weight loss—Congratulations! Dropping pounds is no small accomplishment. Unfortunately, the battle isn’t over yet. As challenging as weight loss can be, sometimes it’s just as challenging to maintain weight loss. That’s why we put together 7 ways to maintain weight loss for life. They take the mystery out of how to maintain weight after weight loss and give you tools to reduce cravings and conquer appetite control.

1. EAT BREAKFAST EVERY DAY

The saying about breakfast being the most important meal of the day isn’t just an old wives tale. Eating a nutritious breakfast (you heard us, step away from the cold cereal and box of donuts) can help jumpstart your metabolism and reduce your cravings throughout the day. In a report for CNN, nutritionist Tamara Duker Freuman said, “What we have seen is that people on diets with the same number of calories who front-load calories to the earlier part of the day fare better in terms of subjective and objective measures of satiety. They feel more satiated in the evening, and there are actually differences in their hunger and satiety hormones ... and this seems to contribute to weight loss success.” All that’s to say, a healthy breakfast keeps your body from feeling as hungry later in the day.

2. MONITOR YOUR WEIGHT

If you want to maintain your weight, you need to know what your weight is. While you certainly don’t want to obsess over your weight, you also don’t want to ignore it. Weighing yourself at regularly scheduled intervals can help you catch weight gains before they get out of control. Weight can fluctuate day-to-day, but if you notice the scale starting to regularly tick upward, you can be proactive in taking steps to drop the added pounds and get back down to your goal weight.

3. ADD WEIGHT LIFTING TO YOUR WORKOUT ROUTINE

Weight lifting gets a bad rap. People think if they lift weights they will “bulk up” or even gain weight. The truth is, weight lifting, also known as resistance training, is an effective way to maintain muscle mass while reducing body fat percentages. Muscle mass increases your metabolism because it burns more calories than fat. So the more muscle you have, the more calories your body will burn, even while you’re at home channel surfing. A study published in the National Center for Biotechnology Information indicated that individuals who regularly incorporated resistance training into their exercise program were more successful at maintaining healthy weight loss than individuals who only did aerobic training.

4. DRINK ENOUGH WATER

It’s a simple thing, but staying hydrated is an important component of optimal health. Water makes up a large percentage of the human body—up to 60%, in fact. The main component of your brain, heart, lungs, and skin is water. Even your bones are about 31% water. While your body NEEDS water to simply exist, the miracle liquid also helps to maintain weight loss. Drinking a cup of water before a meal can lead to a 13% reduction in calories consumed. Over time, that 13% reduction can add up to a whole lot of calories! So raise a glass (of water) to your healthy weight loss.

Its HbG Complex helps you feel full faster and helps you fight cravings to prevent excess calorie intake.

6. UNDERSTAND YOUR HUNGER, APPETITE, AND WEIGHT LOSS

Understanding how hunger and appetite play into healthy weight loss can help you sidestep some pitfalls in keeping weight off. Hunger is our body’s way of warning us that we need to refuel to keep functioning, while appetite is our brain triggering a desire to eat. Too often we respond to appetite, which makes us eat more than we need to. What we should really respond to is hunger so we can properly fuel our bodies. If you really want to differentiate between the two, this post on Understanding Hunger has some additional tips, while this post on Appetite Control will give you some additional tools to battle cravings.

7. THE ROLE OF CRAVINGS IN WEIGHT LOSS

Cravings are a powerful force. Many of the foods we turn to when a craving hits actually release serotonin and endorphins in our brain. Serotonin and endorphins are chemicals that cause us to feel pleasure and happiness. So scientifically speaking, cupcakes really can bring happiness. Calorically speaking, you can’t indulge every craving that comes your way. Cravings hit for many reasons, including hunger, stress, or even improper nutrition, and learning to identify and navigate triggers is key. If you want to control your cravings, try avoiding extreme hunger, sleeping more, waiting it out, or any of these 17 smart ways to control your cravings.
