Why You Should Avoid Fast Weight Loss
You probably tried hard in losing weight before and once you finally obtained the figure you always wanted, you have to face another challenge for maintaining it. Most people easily get swayed and lose the figure they have worked so hard to achieve.
A lot of factors may be the reason for this, it even includes the weight loss method you have followed.
At times, people are amazed on how they regain their weight almost instantly and without even noticing it. This scares a lot of people, but don’t worry there are ways to maintain it and here are some of them.
Watch out for ‘bad methods’
Have you tried seeking ways on how to lose weight fast? If so, most of you probably used such technique in obtaining your weight today. The problem with some of these fast methods is that they use restrictions and even fasting, and not to mention extreme workouts.
Basically when one stops fasting or restricting certain food groups, the return of the weight would be rapid due to decreased metabolic rate. The truth is fast methods yield temporary results. But don’t worry, one way to handle the bad method is to make it good, and that would involve a shift in lifestyle. First you should slowly convert from your restricted to your regular eating pattern.
Slow down
Most people relax after their tremendous days of workouts and dieting. This happens when you do your weight loss activities in bulk. Slacking off would mean downfall from your efforts. Try to stay focused and continue to do some activities and dieting, and spread out the plan.
Keep motivated
Most people fail due to lack of motivation and giving up. In maintaining weight one must be willing to do so. The secret of motivation is, “loving your self”. Try to love your current figure and think about how wonderful it is to have it. Sometimes mind sets are all we need to be motivated.
Go for long term goals
Try not to think about today, but instead, think about tomorrow. What figure you have today may change drastically over a period of a couple of weeks. So work on a diet plan that is easy and that you can stick to for a long term basis. Long term means something you can do without really giving much effort, something that won’t stress you a lot. Try to look for those kinds of methods.
Importance of lifestyle changes
As mentioned above, shift in lifestyle would be important. When your method is incorporated in your lifestyle, expect very good results.
Successful people who maintain their weight and figure for ages have made their weight loss methods part of their lives. It comes to the point that they won’t notice they are losing or maintaining weight! It comes naturally. Imagine such powerful way to do things. The truth is you don’t have to be stressed out with maintaining your figure, as long as you maintain a weight friendly lifestyle and enjoy it then you’ll totally get it.
Wondering what lifestyle change that would be? It is just staying healthy. Try to stay fit and healthy, eat good food, and eat enough, and also do enough activities.

If you can do LISS(low intensity steady state), early morning easy walking, even on a treadmill for 40mins on an empty stomach, you will burn fat, while holding onto your LBM(lean body mass), which is the key for you to burning fat. Always remember, if you do cardio and weights correctly, you will hold onto LBM, so you can burn fat. If you do things like run on a day you lift weights, you will burn up muscle, a no no, so always choose LISS early morning and 20mins after weights. If you want to run, or do run intervals,only run on days you don’t lift weights…..so again, you hold onto muscle.
For meals, you should be eating 5-6meals per day, protein/carbs/healthy fats(I wonder why you cut out complex carbs?) They are what supports energy building for LBM, along with protein and healthy fats…..so you boost your metabolism all day. You need to have the proper ratios to support LBM. Eat things like lean steak, grilled chicken breast, tuna, 1-yolk with 2 whites, toast, oatmeal, potatoes, cheerios, olive oil lightly drizzeled over your salad, 4 walnuts, danon light yogurt….with these choices, you can form 5-6 small meals or 2 as snacks easily!
If you can eat properly to support LBM, and ignore the scale weight, you will look terrific! The above are some of the rules and tips I use for my clients for success! With all my clients, they learn that the scale moves slowly or not at all, or sometimes they gain, but that is because their muscle to fat ratio is so high, and muscle weighs more, but they lose inches and feel great, and need to buy new clothes!
