Keeping Control of Your Body by Keeping a Clear Mind
The main thing that you have to remember when trying to maintain your
ideal weight is that if you suddenly go back to eating how you did before you went on a diet, you will gain all the weight back again. Now, that may sound fairly obvious to most people but for some, they simply think their diet is over and everything goes back to normal. A diet should be a lifestyle choice so it really should be something you can carry on, even after you have reached your ideal goal. The kind of diets which allow you to do this are ones which generally lower your portions, get the body used to different foods and then gradually introduce those foods back into the diet which tends to change your eating pattern. Once your eating pattern has been changed you no longer have cravings as often as you used to, hence you do not overeat again. Now, that isn't to say that you have to eat nothing but fruit and vegetables for the rest of your life. You can still have the odd occasional treat; after all you are no longer on an actual diet. However, you need to know in your mind how much you are eating. The thing about maintaining a healthy weight is that you exercise and burn a certain amount of calories each day. Finally, a common myth which many dieters believe is that their weight will just keep dropping if they carry on with their diet. Now really it all depends upon the diet, but usually you are still eating a good amount and you will only lose weight until you reach your ideal goal, then you will find it much harder to lose weight so you would have to try harder to lose it. Obviously you won't be trying harder; you will in fact be loosening up a little, so you really shouldn't have to worry about losing extra weight once your target goal is reached. Overall it all depends upon your own personal circumstances but keeping the weight off is hard work. You still have to stop yourself from having those extra treats. You also still have to eat healthily and exercise regularly. Sometimes people get so fed up of living a healthy lifestyle that they do go back to their junk food days for a while, but many people go back to eating healthily again after they have slipped up. It is all about controlling your mind and controlling those junk food urges. If you manage to successfully do that you will easily keep the weight off.
