Successful weight loss requires long-term changes to your eating habits and physical activity. This means you need to find a weight-loss approach you can embrace for life. You're not likely to keep off the weight you lose if you stop the diet and go back to old habits.
Diets that leave you feeling deprived or hungry can cause you to give up. And many weight-loss diets don't focus on lasting lifestyle changes. So even if you do lose weight, the pounds can quickly come back once you stop dieting.
You'll likely always have to watch your weight closely. But mixing a healthier diet with more activity is the best way to lose weight and keep it off. You'll boost your overall health too.
