Weight maintenance tip- use computer dieting software

By Sarah Kronsburgitis

Maintaining weight is not the same as losing weight. When losing weight any diet method works if the end result is losing weight. There is a similarity between not gaining additional weight and losing weight.

Losing weight and maintaining weight are similar. For both, you must consume healthy food, don't overeat portion wise and exercise regularly.

Part of being successful in weight maintenance is being motivated on an ongoing basis to keep from gaining additional weight. Also important is getting support from those around you and being able to handle stress without resulting to eating to much or eating the wrong foods. You must assume responsibility for your weight maintenance program.

What can cause weight regain? There are many contributing factors, one of them being having a history of cycling between losing and gaining weight. Another risk is overeating or eating in response to feeling bad about something.

Bottom line, maintaining your weight is balancing between how much energy you use and replinishing that burnt energy. To achieve this balance you need to know your own needs.

If you track your caloric expenditure during your workouts, you can then adjust your caloric intake accordingly to ensure you're replenishing but not overindulging.

Computer dieting software can not only help you reach your ideal weight but also maintain it. One excellent software program for this is called Diet Power. When the program notices a change in your metabolism, it automatically tweaks your daily budgets to prevent gain or loss. It knows how to adjust for water retention from high sodium intake or menstrual cycles. It even knows how to fill in the blanks if you skip logging your foods for a few days. - 17273
