7 Strategies for Maintaining a Healthy Weight

The way you lose weight to begin with predicts how well you’ll be able to keep it off. Rapid-fire approaches using very low calorie diets, fasts or other highly restrictive approaches are the least effective. Because they are so unsustainable, you go right back to the way you used to eat and weight piles back on. In addition, when weight is lost quickly (more than 2 pounds per week) you lose a larger percentage of muscle mass and your metabolic rate plunges. Using reputable commercial weight loss programs are a better approach to help you maintain weight loss but developing your own personalized approach to weight loss provides the best results for maintaining that weight loss long-term.
