Sensible Weight Maintenance Tips

Losing weight may not be effortless, but it doesn’t have to be complicated. To achieve long-term results, it’s best to avoid complex regimes. Focus instead on making modest changes to your life’s daily routine.

A balanced, healthy diet and sensible, regular exercise are the keys to maintaining your ideal weight. Although nutrition science is constantly evolving, here are some generally-accepted guidelines for losing weight:

Consult with your doctor, a dietician, or other qualified health professional to determine your ideal weight. Eat smaller portions and choose from a variety of foods. Load up on food naturally high in fiber: fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains. Limit portions of foods high in fats: dairy products like cheese, butter, and whole milk; red meat; cakes and pastries. Exercise at least three times a week.
