Maintaining Weight Loss Is Hard But It’s Worth It

Energy requirements for weight maintenance after weight reduction appear to be 25% lower than at the original weight.

The net effect is that reduced-obese persons are faced with the necessity of maintaining a reduced energy intake, even after the desired weight has been lost.

 

How dull and monotonous diets can be a strategy for reducing your food intake? 

• Diets that are repetitious (without change from meal to a meal) are a useful consideration for controlling your intake because you tend to overeat when you have many mealtime choices.
• This can be a particular problem for you where 1 in 3 meals is eaten away from home.
• Reliance on restaurants generally offers you many options, most high in calories.
