Just a personal question, are you not discouraged trying again after having lost so much then put it all back on? i'm really concerned that I'll slip once a let go of the diet. What mechanisms are there to maintain the weight at goal and not become subservient to food again?
Very good question well posed,
There are a few options once you come off lipotrim, you can either do the maintenance program, base a diet off a well established diet such as slimming world (actually going to those things totally optional) or what i do is find a ton of healthy recipes that you can make.
Now when you do introduce food some of that first weeks water weight will come back so dont be bummed out thinking its all coming back,
As for maintaining the weight, you need to change your whole attitude to food... Big time,
What helps me is realising food is Fuel.
If you put poor fuel in your car it runs badly, or not at all, the same with our bodies.
The trick is everything in moderation but find healthy foods that are sweet or have a treat once a month.
Keep your fat intake as low as possible for most days during the week,
But the most important of all choices you will make is answering one question whenever you open that fridge or look at those fatty foods
Do i really want to be that size, weight, shape again?
Just say no to 90% of all the crap you used to eat and replace with fruit or a drink,
Cut out as much sugar as you can and exercise more.
Im here again solely because i went through a tough breakup and ate my way back into mr blobby's wardrobe again.
