Have you ever lost weight, and then found that within a few months the extra pounds started to creep back on again?  In fact, it has been found that weight loss “yo-yoing” can be dangerous for your health. If you are carrying extra weight, then you should be working to lose that weight as quickly as possible, and keep it off.

Don’t Slip Back Into Old Habits

The reason that many people start to gain weight again is because they experience the weight loss success, and then start to get lazy with their daily habits again. If you are following a medical weight loss program like Optifast, look at the program as a tool that you can use to reset your mindset and change your daily habits. Take the time that is needed to gradually transition into a maintenance program, so that you can continue to enjoy the weight loss that you worked so hard for.

Use Moderation in Your Approach

After you have lost weight, isn’t not realistic to say that you are never going to eat a dessert again. But, you can change your approach to make it easier to keep the weight off. For example, if you were previously in the habit of eating a whole bag of candy at once, don’t set the whole bag next to you while you are watching a movie. Instead, take out a piece or two for a small treat, and then put the bag away so that you can limit yourself.

Also, consider having specific days of the week that you can enjoy a treat. Some people find that an effective method is to follow healthy habits throughout the week, and enjoy some of their favorite treats on Saturday.

If you are following a medical weight loss program, then the best thing that you can do is to stay in touch with your New Jersey weight loss coach, because they can help you to maintain your weight loss success for many years to come.
