How do I keep off the weight after the diet?
People always complain that they regain all of the weight they lost while dieting after the diet is over. This is a very common problem. Most people don’t understand why they regain the weight. The answer, as usual, is very simple. They stopped. They stopped watching what they ate. They stopped paying attention to calorie content and portion size. And, they stopped exercising.
People assume there is an ‘end’ to the diet. Most people think that once they reach their goal weight, the diet is over. They believe they can now resume their normal eating and exercise habits and keep their new body. But the normal eating and exercise habits are what resulted in the extra weight in the first place. If you repeat habits that created a problem, the problem will reappear.

Have you ever stopped to think about how many liquid calories you consume daily? If you’re like most people, it doesn’t really cross your mind.

Just cutting down on the calories you guzzle can result in weight loss. Try keeping track of the number of sodas and juices you drink everyday. You might be surprised at how many extra calories you add to your daily intake just with what you drink.
