Often after a long period of losing weight, men and women may complain that they start gaining weight again.
This can happen for various reasons. For example, loss of motivation is possible. Some people find it difficult to maintain a diet and give up unhealthy foods.
But maintaining the result is still necessary for health.
Experts note that maintaining even a small portion of the result can be very beneficial for health. Scientists explained how best to do this in a conversation with The Conversation .
First of all, doctors noted that it is necessary to create useful habits that are less susceptible to the influence of problems with motivation.
For example, you can go for a walk after dinner or always choose the stairs instead of the elevator. It is advisable to devote up to 250 minutes of activity per week.
When overeating, if it happens, it is important to get rid of the feeling of guilt. In such cases, it is better to think about how you can improve the situation, for example, you can add extra time to walks and spend more time moving.
You also need to learn to adapt to holidays and feasts, for example, by taking less caloric food with you.
The specialist also noted that, according to research, people who included high-fiber foods in their diet every day were less likely to regain extra pounds. The fact is that such food saturates the body more in smaller quantities. Therefore, it is necessary to include vegetables, brown rice, oats, wholemeal bread, etc. in the diet.
Don't forget about regular weighing.
