Keep Up Your Healthy Routine Reaching your desired weight is a great achievement, one that can be met only with a lot of hard work, perseverance, and dedication. Weight struggles are very common and many people fail to achieve their ideal weight. Maintaining a healthy weight isn't a destination, it is a journey that requires a daily routine. While you are on a diet, you change your eating habits and exercise daily. What would happen if you maintained those new habits in your daily life? It won't be as hard as it was this week since now you are prepared and know what to expect. Psychologists who study obesity say that there is always a reason we gain weight in the first place.

If this is true, then when we are losing or maintaining weight, we should try to understand what triggers us to reach out to food for comfort. Once we understand that, it is easier to break the habit.

All type of exercise will help you burn calories, but some burn more than others. Start with a light routine and keep your weight in check by weighing yourself on regular basis.

Once a week is often enough. If you gain some weight, then you need to step up your workout and reduce calories.How did it go? I lost less than 10 pounds and I'm disappointed.

Keeping it Off: Balancing Proteins, Fat, and CarbsOne way to keep weight off is to avoid carbohydrates and boost protein consumption. Include salads, vegetable, and fruit and you will be able to create balanced meals. Plan your meals ahead of time. Having a schedule will help you control what you eat.Getting too hungry often leads to over-eating.No food will do any good if the portions are too big or small. Things done in moderation are always good. In controlled portions, even enjoy desserts and chocolates are alright from time to time. Another effective way to maintain weight is to keep track by using the bathroom scale. Once a week is enough. The key is to be stress-free.

Take it easy and don't over-obsess about your weight. Eat good carbohydrates and proteins: Go for lentils, black beans, and chickpeas. They are high in protein and fiber. When eating grains, choose whole grain bread, muffins, rice, and pasta. They are much more nourishing than white-flour foods. Keeping It Off: Dealing With Cravings Maintaining weight is hard work. You can have cheat days where you give yourself a treat. After a week of staying careful with food and exercising, it is important to give yourself a little break for a day, and enjoy your favorite fattening meals—in moderation. It is important to remember to keep it fun and easy, so maintaining weight can become a part of your life and not a headache like losing weight. If you struggle with cravings for fatty or sugary snacks, however, it is best to eliminate that food entirely. For example, if you are trying to stay away from fries, cut them out completely to stop the craving. It is hard to have just a "couple of bites" of something you love.

You will never let go of the fattening snack. The cravings will increase and one day you might lose control and have yourself a full plate of tasty fries—not a good way to maintain weight! I am not suggesting that all snacks should be avoided, because a healthy diet should have little wiggle-room. Indulge in fruit salads and protein-packed yummy treats. Find a healthier alternative to the "bad" foods you love and enjoy them.
