1. Why is it so hard to keep weight off after you’ve lost it?
The following reasons could be the cause;
Unsustainable habits
Most people dwell on the theory part of it, rather than changing their lifestyle. Focusing on rules alone, may only discourage you from doing what is expected.
Restrictive diets
If you extremely limit your food habits, your metabolism and appetite hormones will possibly change and cause weight gain.
2. Can you speak to the importance of adopting sustainable habits for weight loss rather than taking extreme dieting measures that you can’t stick with over the long term?
A sustainable diet should include a balanced meal serving various nutrients. It is important to enhance the body’s general health, mentally, physically, and emotionally. A restricted diet may deny the body vital nutrients that could risk osteoporosis and other illnesses.
3. Please share at least 3 habits that will help someone not only lose weight but keep it off. Be as specific as you can (for example, rather than just saying “eat more vegetables,” maybe give a portion someone should aim for each day). Also explain how and why that habit helps someone lose weight (is it the fiber that fills you up? The protein that helps build muscle? etc.)
Replace refined carbs with whole grain cereals
Extremely processed foods with sugar contain many empty calories, which may only increase your blood sugar. If you must eat them, I recommend moderation. But substituting them with whole grains is better because you will stay full for longer and reduce chances of overeating.
Eat a handful of vegetables per serving
Vegetables contain fiber, which digests slowly. You possibly remain full for longer, thus reducing in weight because of less hunger strikes.
Regular exercise
Exercising frequently has various benefits, such improved cardiovascular health, reduced risk of diseases, and weight loss. You can take long walks or lift weights to build muscle, which increases fat burning.
