Reaching your weight loss goal is an incredible achievement, but many of our clients are also worried about regaining the lost pounds. Luckily, a qualified and dedicated fitness trainer and nutrition coach can help you focus on the next step: maintaining your new body and great results.
To help you get started, here are 4 simple ways to help maintain your weight loss results:
Many people use the achievement of their weight loss goal as a sign to celebrate and stop what they’re doing. Subsequently, they revert to their old habits and this can be a recipe for weight gain.
Remember: Whatever it took to help you lose weight is the same plan that is going to help you maintain those excellent results. However, your fitness trainer is likely to make some tweaks to your program so it reflects any changes your body has undergone.
Once you achieve your goal weight, it can be tempting to become a little lax with your diet, but remember that extra glass of wine, a slice of pizza, or the bar of chocolate can add up really quickly. While it’s okay to indulge from time to time, remember what got you to achieve your goal in the first place: a great eating plan.
Tip: To maintain your weight loss results, ditch the refined, processed foods and replace them with whole and clean foods such as lean proteins, healthy fats, vegetables and fruits, as well as plenty of water.
While you should never become a slave to the scale, a once a week weigh in is important to ensure that you’re staying on track. If the scale indicates that you have more than a 3 pound weight gain, then you should check in with yourself and assess what lifestyle changes you’ve made. Remember to ask yourself:
All of these factors play a crucial role in weight gain and it’s important to be honest with yourself if you’re going to maintain your great results.
WHY YOU SHOULD STOP OBSESSING OVER THE SCALE
An important part of maintaining weight loss is remembering not to be too hard or unreasonably strict with yourself. You will have to travel, attend parties, and have holiday gatherings - all of which mean an abundance of food and drinks are available.
It’s important to have a plan for how you will handle these environments to your advantage but if you do overindulge, that’s okay! Learn how to move past it and go right back into your consistent, healthy new lifestyle.
If you are planning on setting a weight loss goal, you should always say no to diets for weight loss. While such eating plans can give you dramatic results in a short period of time, they are not sustainable and there is a very high chance that you will gain the weight back.
At Jensen Fitness, our nutrition coaches and fitness trainers can help you create a personalized weight loss program that will suit your individual needs and lifestyle and which will give you great results in a realistic time frame.
