Successful Weight Management |
|
|
|
Many agree that successful and long-term weight management can be more difficult than the actual task of losing weight itself. The reason for this is because weight loss plans are usually quite structured and regimented and when the dieter stops following the plan and goes back to their normal eating (and lifestyle) habits, the weight inevitably comes back within time. As such, the key to achieving long-term success should rely on adopting sensible principles and guidelines as dictated by individual lifestyle habits.

They are designed to enhance and maintain a healthy and balanced lifestyle, while also improving your well-being for life.

When choosing the foods to incorporate into your daily diet, it is also important to make your calories “count” by considering how long the food will keep you satiated (feeling satisfied). This is often related to the quality of the carbohydrates (low GI is key) and the nutritional balance within a particular food. Research has shown that because low glycemic (GI) foods break down and release energy slowly, they provide increased levels of satiety over high GI foods, which break down and release energy very quickly. Additionally, foods that have a good nutritional balance of carbohydrates, fiber, protein and fat will help to keep you feeling satisfied for longer periods of time. Combining these elements with calorie and portion control will lead to greater long-term success in weight management, and quality of life in general. |
