Some people work hard to lose weight, but gain it all back in a short time. Isn't that the most frustrating thing? So how do you maintain your figure after losing weight? Below, we'll introduce some good ways to maintain your figure after weight loss:
There are many ways to lose weight, some healthy and some unhealthy. Often, people choose unhealthy methods in pursuit of rapid weight loss. While these methods may lead to quick results, they also easily cause rebound weight gain. To maintain a better figure after weight loss, it's crucial to choose the right method before even starting the process; otherwise, all your efforts will be in vain. The following three groups of people are prime examples:
1. Those who pursue rapid weight loss using incorrect methods
In their pursuit of rapid weight loss, people often resort to unhealthy methods such as overeating, consuming diet foods, fasting, and restrictive diets. Those who aim for the fastest weight loss typically lack perseverance and willpower, and their efforts are often short-lived, crumbling due to unhealthy lifestyle habits or cravings. Losing 3 kilograms might result in gaining back 5 kilograms after indulging in excessive eating and drinking!
2. Frequent attempts at dieting, often resulting in failed attempts.
Dieting is often the method chosen by women. Dieting is very hard, and once you give up, you will overeat. After binge eating, you will feel guilty and start dieting again. This repeated weight loss and gain will cause your basal metabolic rate to drop. The parts you lose include water, lean muscle and fat. When you regain the weight, it is all fat. This is the so-called "yo-yo effect".
3. The weight loss method does not include exercise.
Most people rely on dieting or other methods to lose weight, which easily leads to weight gain. For many, the decrease in basal metabolic rate makes it difficult to maintain weight loss results. Exercise can increase basal metabolic rate and is a better way to maintain weight. People who incorporate exercise into their weight loss program can maintain a certain basal metabolic rate, making them less likely to regain weight.
