How to write a maintenance diet article regardless of your diet?
Typically, the only time you don’t need advice is with your dietician. The dietician follows you in periodic checks even after the diet.

If you followed a do-it-yourself regimen instead, I hope a weight maintenance phase was included . Otherwise, I am not saying that you are wrong, if you have lost weight it means that you have achieved results, but unfortunately it will be much more likely for you to regain the lost weight. First of all, let’s see what characteristics a correct maintenance diet must have.

MAINTENANCE DIET: MAIN FEATURES AND MISTAKES NOT TO MAKE

• The maintenance diet is never a “go back to eating as before”.

  If the weight loss phase was drastic, it didn’t last more than two weeks, but it caused you to lose a lot of weight, it is very likely that you will regain a large part of that weight, because that loss is actually made up of fluids, not liquids. fat mass only.
  So, if you’ve been on a crash diet, ninety-nine percent of you are on the wrong diet and you’ll regain weight . If so, don’t blame it, learn from the mistake and settle your head with a more serious diet.
  In general, to know that you are not doing the wrong diet and that the maintenance diet is working, you have to keep in mind some simple rules, which we will see later, and remember the example I gave you of the dietician.

• Repeating the same diet if we have gained weight in maintenance is stupid.

  If you’ve gained weight, that diet didn’t teach you anything.
  Repeating it is useless. You can’t go on a diet all the time.
  Eating right is your goal. If you eat well and exercise, you will reach the ideal weight. If you go on a diet, lose ten pounds, gain seven in a year, then five, then repeat the same diet, you are making a huge mistake.

  You are not a bin, which every now and then needs to be emptied and then filled up again. It is one thing to take a few days or a week for a while, if we have exaggerated.

  Another is to diet for a few months, then eat as we please, then repeat the following year. You are not unruly, it is proof that the diet has not taught you anything from the first time.

• Binge eating is detrimental and should be avoided wherever possible.

   

  
  

  It’s one thing to eat a little more when we go out for dinner, it’s one thing to take ten packs of snacks home and shoot them all in two hours and then fast the next day.

  The thought that there are low instincts to give vent to is a bit extreme, as well as very stressful. Also, after the two hours of gluttony (which often lasts not two hours, but five minutes), you will feel worse. When your diet includes days of freedom, it starts off on the wrong foot.
  The risk of bingeing on that day is very high.

  If anything, let’s give ourselves a free meal, where free means: only one dish of our choice.
  So pizza is a free meal, an appetizer to dessert lunch is already heavier. In that case, which obviously happens, it’s best to keep light the next day.
  If during the maintenance you have the urge to overeat, then the maintenance is too restrictive.

  Note: If the urge to binge exceeds three times a week, we probably have an eating disorder. It is not automatic, but it is one of the symptoms.
  In this case, perhaps instead of trying another diet you could first evaluate a psychotherapeutic path that helps you improve your relationship with food.
