How to Avoid Gaining Back the Weight After Reaching Your Goal

Posted on October 20, 2017 by Evangeline Thomas

When you reach your weight loss goal, you likely feel like celebrating. And you should! You’ve worked hard and have achieved the body weight you wanted. Plus, this means you can stop dieting and go back to your old, comfortable ways, right? Wrong! That’s the top mistake dieters make after reaching their goal weight.

After all, if your old habits are what caused you to gain weight in the first place, then going back to them are essentially a guarantee that you’re going to ruin the results of all your hard work and send your weight right back to where it was.

Guide to Measuring Your Inches Lost During Weight Loss

Posted on September 18, 2017 by Evangeline Thomas

Measuring your inches lost is a great way to complement the numbers you see on the bathroom scale to help to gauge your progress. After all, your scale can’t tell where the weight is coming from.

Therefore, measuring your inches lost helps to give you more insight into what is really happening with your body. Ideally, if you take your measurements before even getting started, you can create a baseline that will tell you how far you’ve come right from the start. Keep a paper or digital notebook with regular measurements. Continue reading →

Why Skipping Meals Kills Your Metabolism and Stalls Weight Loss

In fact, this is among the most common strategies that beginner dieters will attempt in order to shed those pounds. Unfortunately, if that type of strategy isn’t taken on with a very high knowledge of the metabolism, it can actually make your weight loss efforts much harder, not easier.

This places your body in what is often called “starvation mode.” Your body registers that you’re not eating, so it starts saving the energy it would otherwise receive from food by reducing the rate at which it burns calories and fats.
