If you got in shape for summer or lost weight as an overall healthy lifestyle overhaul, then you\u2019re no doubt keen to maintain your new figure and fitness level.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve all heard stories or know people who successfully hit their weight loss goal but saw the pounds creep back on over time. After all your hard work and dedication, it\u2019s key to have a plan in place to avoid this and stay as healthy as possible going forwards.<\/span><\/p>\n Use the five simple-to-follow steps below to maintain your current weight and <\/span>enjoy enhanced wellness<\/span>; staying in shape may be much simpler than you think!<\/span><\/p>\n So much of the success of a weight loss plan centers on changing how we approach and think about food. Snacks and meals should be a way to nurture our bodies, and each mouthful of them savored, rather than using them as a means of comfort or a distraction from boredom.<\/span><\/p>\n To this end, stick to the meal planning tactics you used as part of your weight loss program. Planning what you\u2019ll eat throughout the week (and snacking on, too) means that you\u2019ll be able to build delicious, nutritious meals into your routine and are therefore better able to resist the temptation of a sugary snack or regular take-out meals.<\/span><\/p>\n These <\/span>best weight loss companies<\/span> – one of which you may have used as part of your healthy lifestyle overhaul – offer a range of delicious meals or meal kits delivered to your door. Choosing such a meal plan can ensure your body is getting the right fuel and can lessen the risk of a hectic schedule jeopardizing your attempt to maintain your current weight.<\/span><\/p>\n The body can often mistake the brain\u2019s thirst signals for hunger, leading us to snack unnecessarily when our bodies really want a drink of water.<\/span><\/p>\n Staying hydrated<\/span> is the second important step in maintaining a healthy weight. Men need around 3.7 liters of water a day (approximately 16 cups), and women should aim to drink 2.7 (about 12 cups) liters per day to support overall wellness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This may seem like a daunting amount to get through, but there are plenty of tricks and hacks that can help you reach your target:<\/span><\/p>\n While you may be able to dial down the extent and intensity of your exercise regime now you\u2019ve hit your weight loss target; it\u2019s important to keep exercising regularly to prevent the pounds from creeping back on and to keep both your body and mind in great shape.<\/span><\/p>\n Finding an exercise buddy<\/span> to swim, walk, or jog with is a good way to stay motivated and can make exercising more fun too! Why not try new forms of physical activity: as well as helping to keep things interesting, you may also find something new that you enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n If there\u2019s something yummy in the kitchen cupboard that also happens to be high in sugar, fat, or salt, it\u2019s unlikely we\u2019ll be able to resist the temptation to tuck in, however strong our levels of willpower may be.<\/span><\/p>\n Keeping junk food out of the house will hugely help your mission to maintain your current weight. To support this, avoid going grocery shopping <\/span>when you\u2019re hungry<\/span>: research has shown that you\u2019re much more likely to add sugary treats to your trolley when you\u2019re peckish. Online shopping could be the way to go if you know you\u2019ll find it hard to resist temptation.<\/span><\/p>\nStick with the Meal Planning<\/span><\/h2>\n
