Most people who lose weight do so by "going on a diet," which is a temporary solution. You can't be on a diet for the rest of your life. Once you get tired of it, you revert back to your old eating habits and all the weight comes back.
To avoid this scenario, we encourage you to incorporate healthy eating habits into your daily life rather than going on a diet. Learn to eat healthful, balanced meals & snacks throughout the day, and you'll lose weight & keep it off for good.
A survey by the National Weight Loss Registry identified the following strategies as the most widely used by people who'd lost at least 30 pounds and kept it off for at least one year:
1. Exercise 5-6 times a week. (Those who exercised 4 times a week started regaining weight!)
2. Record all food & drink in journal. There are many apps & websites available that can help you track your food & calorie intake. We like MyFitnessPal.com because it is simple, easy to use & has a great database.
3. Weigh in on a consistent basis. We recommend weighing yourself once a week.
4. Eat a healthful breakfast. Your breakfast should consist of healthful carbs, protein & fat.
At All About You! we want you to attain your goal weight, but we also want you to maintain it for the rest of your life. Be one of the 15% that keeps it off for good!
Long-term weight loss success CAN be a reality, and it CAN be attained with determination, watchfulness, and adherence to the above four strategies.
