You’ve finally finished the diet you’ve been following for weeks, maybe even months. You lost weight and look the way you wanted. The most difficult thing after finishing the diet is to stay in shape.
You are faced with quite a difficult task. Everyone knows that after rapid weight loss, you can quickly gain weight if you do not follow a healthy diet and lifestyle. Sometimes a person even gains more weight than before the diet. How to prevent this? Will you have to follow strict diets for the rest of your life and never be able to eat your favorite foods? Of course not! In order for the figure to always remain toned and slim, first of all you need to avoid all bad habits. Let’s consider some useful tips:
- Try to weigh yourself at least once a week. Do it in the morning before breakfast. If the weight has decreased or has not changed, it is good, and if the weight has increased a little, do not worry, eat a little less for a few days and increase physical activity.
- Sleep is very important for health. Try to sleep at least 7-8 hours a day. People who don’t sleep enough are usually overweight. Try to go to bed on time, do not watch TV, and do not use gadgets 2-3 hours before bedtime. If you suffer from insomnia for a long time, take sleeping pills, such as Meloset 3 or Ramitax. In cases of insomnia where people have trouble falling asleep, they can help with this by affecting melatonin in the brain.
- Do not eat immediately as soon as you feel hungry. This is the main problem of people who were overweight or obese. Before you go to the fridge, think about whether you are really hungry. Very often, people eat because of nervous tension, stress, because they are bored and want something tasty. One simple test will allow you to determine whether you want to eat. Just ask yourself “do I want to eat a piece of stale bread?” If the answer is yes, then you are really hungry and you need to eat. If the answer to this question is negative, then you are not hungry and just want something tasty. Drink a glass of water, juice, or exercise. This will reduce appetite.
- You cannot eat high-calorie food at all and replace it with low-calorie food. There are many delicious low-calorie and healthy dishes: vinaigrette, vegetable salad, lean soup, etc. You can eat very tasty healthy low-calorie foods. Try never to eat fast food, it is very harmful to health. Eat 3-4 times a day in small portions. Be sure to eat breakfast even if you think you are not hungry. Eat slowly, chewing each piece, then the food will be better absorbed and you will not eat too much. If there is little time for cooking, order food delivery.
- Don’t eat while watching a movie or TV show. While you’re sitting in front of the TV, you don’t pay attention to how much you eat and thus get extra calories that will cause you to gain weight. Imagine how many extra candies you’ll eat while watching your favorite TV show. It is very difficult to control yourself and not eat something delicious while watching a movie.
