How do I maintain myself once I’ve reached my ideal weight?

[Anonymous]

I’m aiming to lose thirty kilos. I’ve already lost ten to fifteen kilos (haven’t weighed myself in the past month). I’m on the lite n easy diet. It works. I’m on the way to being slim. Once I am, how do I maintain my healthy diet? What are some of the dinners and lunches I should eat?

I’ve noticed that my parents are overweight. Dad has a gut and mum has gone up 3 dress sizes. They eat lots of fatty red meat, pork chops, steak and lamb chops and fatty roasts, in big portions. No fish, no chicken unless it’s a chicken fillet Mignon, with lots of garlic butter sauce, or crumbed fish. Everything has a marinade or fat on the meat. Lots of meat and mash, very few vegetables. Do I learn to eat lots of stir fries and steamed rice? Do I eat lots of salads? Please help.

Yo nice work on losing the weight so far! That's awesome. To maintain it I'd say just focus on portion control and balancing meals. For dinners, maybe like grilled chicken or fish with veggies is always a good choice. Rice and pasta are cool in moderation too. And don't be afraid of a snack, just make sure it's healthier like fruit, yogurt or nuts. Oh and drink lots of water! Your body will thank you. As long as you don't go crazy you should be able to keep it off. But don't stress too much about the number on the scale either, as long as you feel good that's all that matters. Keep it up luv!

I will always recommend to weigh yourself weekly & log your food. The more you do it, the more familiar you'll be in terms of guessing your caloric intake when you aren't logging. I've been logging foods for so long that I can just do it in my head now & have a good rough idea of how much I'm consuming. And weighing yourself will just help you to know if you're generally eating too much or too little.

It doesn't matter what you eat so long as it's within your caloric maintenance range.

Just have an idea about tracking calories and eat around your maintence level of calories (Approximately 15 times your weight in pounds)
Just in case you see an increase or decrease.. which won't happen too fast since you are near to your maintence level... in that case slightly increase or decrease you calorie intake
