How to keep the weight off

Most people who regain weight go back to their old habits all at once. The fix is to change slowly enough that the new habits stick.

What works

• Increase food slowly. When you reach your goal, add about 100 to 200 kcal a day for a few weeks and watch the scale.
• Keep the protein and vegetables. They are what kept you full.
• Keep moving. People who keep weight off are usually active most days.
• Weigh in weekly. Act early if you gain 1 to 2 kg.
• Plan meals ahead. Batch-cook protein and vegetables for busy days.
