Once you have achieved a desired weight, a positive attitude is very important in your efforts to successfully manage it. To lose weight permanently, you must make a commitment to gradually adopt a healthier way of life.
Controlling your weight is not an impossible task. It simply means eating less food or burning up more calories than you need. Eating smaller portions and choosing foods that are low in total fat (as fat is a major contributor to calories), are essential to maintaining your desired weight. Establishing a regular exercise routine is equally important.
Do not "starve" yourself. That can leave you to feeling deprived and increase the temptation to binge (eat an uncontrolled, excessive amount). Often, very low calorie diets make you lose muscle instead of fat. Regular exercise helps you keep the muscle and lose the fat. Very low calorie diets also lack many important nutrients -- increasing your risk of becoming malnourished. If you are considering a very low calorie diet, consult your doctor first.
People who lose weight slowly, by eating less and exercising more, tend to keep the weight off.
