A Couple of Uncommon Sense Ideas About Maintaining Your Ideal Weight

 

Here are some ideas about how to maintain your weight once you've reached it.

Start an exercise program that includes exercise every day. It has been shown that people who exercise 5-7 days a week are more likely to be successful in keeping off future weight gain than people who only exercise 3 times a week. You don't have to exercise till you're in a pool of sweat. It is not about intensity. It's about being consistent. No need to over exert yourself, there is nothing to prove to anyone. The reason that you're exercising is to maintain health and not to compete in an Iron Man competition. Competing in an Iron Man competition is not a bad thing to do but it's not for everyone. If competing in an Iron Man competition is one your goals then I suggest that you find the best trainer you can. A trainer who has trained other Iron Men competitors. Listen to them and follow their directions. If you're just trying to keep off future weight gain then a consistent moderate amount of daily exercise is a crucial component in the formula.

Better to eat small portions of food 4-5 times a day then limiting yourself to just 3 meals a day with snacks in between. Snacking is a great way to put on unwanted weight. In order to eat 4-5 times a day you will need to plan ahead. Its one thing to get up in the morning and have a light breakfast and then dart off to work and by 10:30 or so you're starving, because you blood sugar level is not where it needs to be. Better to plan your meals each day. Plan what it is that you are going to have for breakfast, mi-morning, lunch, mid-afternoon and dinner.

One of the first things that came up for me upon adopting this regimen was that I did not have the time to figure all of this out because I was too busy and all this food planning got in the way of my day. What I came to see was that I was eating at those times anyway but it was unplanned and random. Which meant that it was basically junk food that I ate to feed my craving for nutrition. There are 1000's of books out there that mention many different healthful alternatives to mid morning and afternoon cravings. It's just a matter of either buying the books or simply going online to find interesting alternatives.
