Before you go on any diet or weight loss plan, ask yourself the following questions, "Am I ready to embrace the number of recommended daily calories forever going forward in order to sustain my recommended weight?" "Am I willing to balance my daily diet with a healthy dose of activity?"
If not, weight gain after dieting will reoccur and more often than not, more weight will be gained than had been previously lost while in Diet Mode. Simply put, the reason weight gain reoccurs more often than not following a diet or weight loss plan is because the post dieter either consumes more calories than necessary to support their recommended weight, or they do not expend sufficient calories through activity to keep weight in balance.
Weight maintenanceis indeed a delicate balancing act. And for those individuals who have experienced weight gain issues, keeping the weight off after the diet is very challenging - more challenging than the Weight Loss Phase itself.
So many times, news moderators and reporters try to determine why weight is such a major issue. Many have never seen a fat day in their lifetime. While some health gurus blame weight issues on a lack of exercise, or consuming too much food, or making unwise choices - Thin Thin feels the reason for weight-related issues can be pinpointed in the Weight Maintenance phase.
Most individuals have no difficulty in losing those extra pounds. The difficulty begins in keeping those pounds off. So as we can see, the Weight Maintenance phase is equally - if not more important than the Weight Loss Phase of dieting.
To get a good ideal of how many calories your body requires to support your recommended weight, let's take a look at the chart below. Before you go on that next diet or weight loss plan, ask yourself, "Can I stick to this number of calories, making small adjustments as needed along life's pathway due to health reasons, aging, and activity levels?" This is what you must do in order to retain your recommended weight.
