Once the desired weight has been achieved, the most common result is to gain the weight you’ve lost. Why does this occur?
Most people are overwhelmed by the dropped kilograms and in their mind forgetting the “first year” rule is common. That being said the body needs time to get used to its new state. Each cell has memory and your body remembers the state in which it once was. Because if you do not provide enough time for the body to get used to your new weight, it will struggle to return to its usual condition by regaining the lost weight.
The first year after achieving the desired weight is of huge importance. This period allows the body to adapt to the desired target. What we need to know is that you have to stick to a few simple rules.
Use the habits,
which you have created during “the challenge” at least in half. During the diet, we give up harmful and calorie foods. After dieting, going back to them is a big mistake. You are already accustomed to the low-calorie food and taste qualities. You’ve learned how to combine food so you do not feel hungry and adore the taste. This is a built habit that you should not give up on in order to keep the good results after the one year rule.
Track your weight and your circumference once a month.
This will help you master the situation if you see an increase in performance. You need to keep track of changes in the result in the first year. This is the time when your body learns that it already looks different. If your body adapts during this period in the future you will know this is your normal shape.
Do not allow weight change in the first year.
If you start varying in different values, you will confuse your body and it will be inclined to look for your previous state. The first year after weight loss is a time of adaptation. If you think of anything else that has happened to you analyze it, you will realize that it took you a while to get used to it. Your body is the same. Show your will and do not forget that this year your mind is a teacher of the body. If your thought is firm about the changes, your body will accept it without hesitation.
