Healthy Living – Four Tips For Maintaining A Healthy Body Weight

Looking to maintain a healthy body weight? Whether you have been dieting in the last little while and have finally reached your goal weight or you simply are looking to ensure you do not gain weight going forward, there are a few tips that can assist in ensuring you stay on track.

Let us look at four different strategies you can use to keep your weight in check. Four strategies not requiring intricate calorie counting…

1. Add More Protein. If you hate counting calories but want to do your best to prevent weight gain, consider adding more protein to your diet plan. Protein is the nutrient tending to be the most satisfying, so is what you are least likely to overeat.

As a result, you will feel more satisfied after every meal. Thus your chances of eating more than you should go down. Aim to take in at least 15 grams of protein with each snack and 20 to 30 grams with each meal to achieve this effect.

2. Sip Water Throughout The Day. Dehydration can cause food cravings in many people, leading you to eat when you just needed to have a drink. To avoid this, sip water throughout the day. Carry a jug of water with you wherever you go and make a concentrated effort to drink it between meals.

It can help to get a gallon jug of water and fill it up once in the morning and then make sure by dinner time you have drunk it all. A gallon jug of water will provide a little extra over what you need but will be beneficial if you are also leading an active lifestyle.

3. Set Fitness Focused Goals. Do not fall into the trap of thinking once you have reached your body weight goal that is it. Set a new goal. Focus on something fitness related. Train for a 10km race or focus on adding 20 pounds to your squat or bench press exercise.

By having a new goal to work towards, you will help sustain better overall focus on your fitness plan, and this can lead to healthier eating efforts as well.

4. Allow For Indulgence. Finally, do not be too strict on yourself. Make sure you are allowing for overeating every so often. Remember your diet should make room for fun foods as well. Otherwise, it is not a diet you will want to be on for the long-term.

If you keep these tips in mind, you should have no problem sustaining a healthy body weight well into the months ahead.
