Maintain Weight Loss After Diet

There are many ways that can help maintain weight loss after dieting. First and foremost, eating right and exercising regularly are two very important tasks for controlling your weight. Sometimes natural weight loss supplements such as Slendarol, can help a great deal. Slendarol, by Vita Balance is all natural and supports healthy weight loss, weight control, and helps maintain healthy energy levels. I take it and love the effects it has on my body. It makes controlling my weight so much easier, giving me the boost I need to get through the day.

Other ways that help with weight loss maintenance include, increasing protein in diets, staying hydrated by drinking at least 64 ounces of water per day (see detox recipe below), getting enough sleep, managing stress levels, weighing yourself regularly, eat your carbs before and after workouts, and meal planning. Meal planning can help track your food intake and help control bad eating habits. As you read on, I will give life style changing habit ideas, along with several recipes that have helped me a great deal. One of the changes I’ve made that has had a huge impact on maintaining my weight; tracking what I eat. I eat smaller portions, limit my snacking, and do intermittent fasting regularly during the week. Please read on and I’ll share everything you need to know.

#1 Stay Hydrated with this Detox

Drinking plenty of water during the day can help maintain weight loss. Water promotes fullness, increase the metabolic rate, and may even be responsible for helping to burn more calories throughout the day.

Lemon, Ginger, & Cucumber Detox 

This detox mixture is a natural antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and metabolism booster. It’s good tasting, refreshing, and a better way to get your water in for the day. Cucumbers are real low in calories and high in fiber. The fiber will help curve your appetite during the day. Lemon is refreshing and great for the skin while ginger will provide natural energy  along with depressing the appetite; it may even replace your coffee. (64 ounces of water is recommended per day).

How to Make It:

• 6 slices of cucumber
• ½ lemon cut into quarters
• 1 inch of Ginger root, peeled and cut in half

Add all ingredients to 20-30 ounces of water in a infuser water bottle (Best to sit in the refrigerator for a few hours; I fix mine before I go to bed so it’s ready to start drinking the next morning). Refill up to 3 times a day and then start over again with fresh ingredients.

Apple Cider Vinegar Detox

2 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice 1 Tsp Stevia or honey 1 Tsp Cinnamon A pinch of Cayenne Red Pepper   Add all ingredients and 16 ounces of warm water to a bottle with a lid,  (I use my used water bottle), shake it up really good and drink.

#2 Exercise Regularly

Getting plenty of exercise plays a big role in weight loss maintenance. Physical activity and healthy meal planning are both very important and most helpful for maintaining weight loss. Exercise is known to increase insulin sensitivity and enhance your muscles’ desire and ability to use up carbohydrates. As a general rule, consuming more carbs before and after your workouts will provide fuel recovery for your muscles. For the rest of the day focus more on protein-rich foods, green vegetables, and fat. Regular exercise can help burn off extra calories and increase the metabolism, which means more energy throughout the day.

---

#3 Eat Lots of Protein

Adding more protein to the diet may help with maintaining your weight, because protein can reduce the appetite and promote fullness. Eating more protein can help increase the number of calories that are burned during the day. Protein can boost the metabolic rate and change several weight-regulating hormones that help with weight loss and reducing belly fat.

#4 Control Stress Levels

Managing stress can be very difficult, but it is very important when trying to maintain or lose weight. Stress can limit the ability to sleep and can alter eating habits, causing more snacking throughout the day. People who are under tremendous amounts of stress tend to be depressed and inactive. This can cause weight gain as well as other health issues. Managing stress by learning how to relax and take some time to calm the brain, meditate, take deep breaths; this can lower the heart rate, making the body more relaxed and healthier. It’s amazing at the difference this makes for maintaining weight loss. Eating healthy meals can help manage stress levels as well. Whole foods can reduce the effects of stress on the body. Making lifestyle changes for daily eating habits, staying away from harmful substances such as caffeine, alcohol, and refined sugars can help play a big role in controlling stress levels. Clean foods such as proteins, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats helps regulate hormone levels, including stress hormones.

#5 Get Plenty of Sleep

Believe it or now, getting enough sleep can have major effects on weight control. People who deprive themselves of sleep have bigger risk of gaining weight and having health issues. Inadequate sleep can drastically increase the appetite, due from higher levels of ghrelin, which is known as the “hunger hormone”. Poor sleeping habits can also lead to a decrease in leptin, which is a hormone necessary for appetite control. It is tough in today’s fast paced, busy society to allow ourselves the 8 hours of sleep that we should get, but we need to try real hard to adjust sleeping habits and get at least 7 hours. This can play a major role in how weight loss is controlled and overall well-being.

#6 Weigh Regularly

Stepping on the scale regularly as I do, may help manage weight-loss. Seeing how much you weigh each day will serve as a tool, making you aware of progress. If you see that you have gained some weight back, you are subject to eating fewer calories during that day. People who weigh on daily basis have been known to eat 300 calories fewer than those who don’t monitor their weight. It is easier to control your weight each day if you are aware of your progress.

#7 Meal Planning

It’s important to plan your meals ahead of time. Write out your own menu for each day of the week; maybe on a large calendar. Then make your grocery list for everything you need for the week for those menu items. It is easier to stick to a plan that you have written down, rather than trying to come up with something at the last minute. You’ll find yourself making better and healthier choices for foods you eat when you have a planned menu for each day. Below I will share some ideas to get you started.
