Check out these five tips on how you can make lifestyle changes permanent, rather than losing weight only to gain it back.
Over the past few months, I’ve watched my husband change his eating habits and steadily lose weight, including those pandemic pounds. He’s cut back on his beloved sweet tea, passing up chocolate, and eating fish without drowning it in tartar sauce. He’s notching his belt, and buying clothes in a smaller size.
He's not alone in facing the reality that diets often don’t work. Changing lifestyle can be much more effective — if you manage to stick with it. That journey takes honesty, goal setting and vigilance. And if you want to go that route, here’s what to consider as you decide what works best for you:Before committing to a lifestyle change, set long-term goals, says Michelle Edacheril-Moore, a family nurse practitioner at BJC Health Care in O’Fallon, Missouri. Be honest with yourself.
To avoid feeling hungry in between meals, snack on some protein. Nibble a piece of low-fat string cheese, or sip a protein shake. During meals, eat a bite of protein first, and then a bite of carbs. Inversely, lack of support can push you back into old habits. “I have seen where the lack of support, whether it’s friends and/or family, has caused people to return to previous habits. Who you surround yourself with really does make a significant impact on your actions and thought processes,” says Edacheril-Moore.
