Losing weight is easy in comparison with maintaining one’s weightloss.
Exercise helps with maintenance better than dieting does. A mixture of cardio and strength training exercises is a good start. I do hiking or cycling for cardio and mostly bodyweight fitness for strength training.
For slow but steady weight loss you might want to look at what your sources of calories are and find something you can live without. Alcohol also has calories! I ditched alcohol two months ago and I am currently trying to give up on carbonated beverages too. Some of Starbucks style coffees also have crazy amounts of calories.
In regards to food, it is better to eat proper meals when you can and avoid snacking rather than trying to starve yourself because it makes one vulnerable to temptation to raid one’s snack cabinet later in the day.
Thanks. I’ll try to add in some more cardio. I usually walk/run two miles every day, or every other day. I don’t drink very often. The last time I drank was over a year ago. I also don’t drink caffeine, or soda.
You sound like you’re in great shape! Good for you!
Lol no I am not. I am 182 cm (almost 6 feet) and 115 kg (254 lbs). I lost about 5 kilos (11 lbs) this month, but my weight loss journey is still far ahead of me.
