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.   

There will not be an end to the need for healthy eating and exercise habits.  If you want to keep off the weight you lost, you must keep up the new healthier eating and exercise habits.  This doesn’t mean you can never indulge in tasty treats.  But you must not make it a regular occurrence.  Everything has its price and a sexy body is not the exception.  If you want to keep off the weight, keep up the healthy eating and exercise.
