You probably know people who have successfully lost weight after following a weight-loss program. But how many of them have managed to keep the weight off permanently? Likely very few. Most people focus on losing weight, but only a handful have a plan for maintaining their new weight.

Studies suggest that approximately 80% to 95% of people who lose weight through dieting will regain it within one to five years. This indicates that long-term weight maintenance is rare and difficult to achieve.

HOW CAN YOU AVOID REGAINING THE WEIGHT?

1. Regular physical activity

People who consistently exercise have a much higher success rate when it comes to maintaining their weight long-term.

2. Consistent eating habits

Stick with the healthy eating habits you developed during your weight loss journey. If you revert to old eating patterns, you’ll consume more calories than you burn, leading to weight gain.

3. Self-monitoring

Keep track of your weight, food intake, and physical activity. Whether you count calories or weigh yourself regularly, monitoring helps prevent slipping into old habits unnoticed. Catching weight gain early gives you a chance to correct it before it becomes a bigger issue.

4. Support systems

Having support from family, friends, or a community can make a huge difference. People who maintain their weight often report feeling motivated and accountable through these networks.
