So you’ve put in the time and effort and
have had great results to show for it. You’ve lost the excess weight that you
were carrying around and now are the proud new owner of the body of your
dreams.
You’re excited, you’re feeling good, and
you’re ready to face life in this brand new body.
But, amongst all this, you might also feel
a slight twinge of anxiety with regards to whether or not you’re going to be
able to maintain this new body for
the time to come.
Who’s to say that that weight isn’t going
to come rushing back just as soon as you stop going about your diet and being a
little more lenient in what you eat?
Fortunately, if you have a plan of attack,
succeeding at weight maintenance can be a lot easier than you think. Here are some smart things that you need to
know.

Be
Accountable
The very first thing that you must do to
succeed at weight maintenance is to stay accountable. Now that you’ve reached your ideal weight,
don’t think that this means you can eat what you want, when you want.
You still do need to be accountable. If you
take a little too many ‘treats’ here and there, it’s going to add up.
If you notice that your weight is creeping
up in a direction you don’t want it to go, immediately take action so you bring
it back down lower again.
The sooner you can get it under control,
the less work you’ll have to do moving forward.
Continue
To Strength Train
Moving on, the second thing that you must
keep doing is strength training. Strength
training is the absolute most effective form of workout that will help keep the
weight off over time.
Why?
Not only will it help you maintain a higher
metabolic rate 24/7, but it also makes it easier to add carbs back into your
diet.
Unless you plan to eat a carb-free diet for
the years to come, this is very important for success.
Adapt
A Flexible Mindset
Moving along, the next must-do for success
is to make sure that you adopt a flexible frame of mind. Don’t see yourself as a success or failure. Rather, view this as life.
If you eat something you shouldn’t, you
treated yourself. Get right back on with
a healthy eating program.
Remember that all the good habits you
developed should now become a permanent lifestyle for yourself. They shouldn’t be something that feels like
torture or that you can’t keep up for some time to come.
If you did use improper dieting methods,
it’s time to learn some wise techniques that will encourage health, high
energy, and that you can sustain for life.
When you do, it’ll be easier to adopt the
flexible mindset because you’ll naturally enjoy living a smarter lifestyle.
Finally, last but not least, start making
fitness fun. If you’ve spent months in
the gym and aren’t especially fond of gym workouts, start investigating some
other options that you could do that you would derive more pleasure from.
Exercise to maintain your weight does not
need to be more intense than exercise to lose weight, so relax a bit and do
what you enjoy.
So there you have a few of the top secrets
for successful weight maintenance. Stay on top of yourself and you’ll have no
problem living in and enjoying your dream body.
