The question that stands in second place, after the question of how to lose those extra pounds. We have already talked about how to lose weight correctly and what really helps and what does not, in other articles. So, for example, running evenly will be a poor helper in losing weight, and a gym without aerobic activity will strengthen muscles, but will not affect fat reserves. Diets also vary. there is proper nutrition and PBK-20 (a professional calorie blocker) that really help you lose weight through the correct application of knowledge about the principles of accumulating body fat. And there are diets that either do not help to lose weight at all, or give the body such stress that all the lost grams as a result of losing weight from such a diet will return twice as much after cessation of nutrition.
Today we'll talk about whether there is a way to maintain weight and whether it is possible to lose weight once and for all.
How to maintain weight
You have lost weight. We have reached the figure on the scales that satisfies you. But now there is an idea of how to make sure that this figure does not increase anymore. There are several ways. We will only talk about useful methods.
Exercising regularly
This is the best and most rewarding way to maintain your figure the way you want it to be. Of course, table tennis or chess are unlikely to help you with this. But strength and aerobic types will do well this task. Namely, regular jogging, swimming, fitness, cycling, etc. But one must understand that in any case there must be some balance between the food consumed and the food burned as a result of physical exertion.
Therefore, you have two ways out, or eat as much of any food as you like, but at the same time exercise at least 4 times a week for an hour and a half, in order to have time to burn everything that you eat. Or monitor the amount of food, and exercise 2-3 times a week, without overloading yourself.
In any case, overeating will lead you to excess weight if you do not burn everything you eat. And if at first the body can cope with food, then gradually it will get tired of processing such an amount of energy and will begin to store it. That is why professional athletes often gain weight after the end of their careers. But not immediately, but after several years of no load.
From all this follows the second way not to gain weight.
Regulation of the amount of food
Everything is simple here, the more you eat, the more chances that the food will turn into fat. Therefore, you need to eat as much as your body needs to maintain life, and not as much as you want. Gluttony has never done anything good.

No wonder there is a saying that it is better to get up from the table with a slight feeling of hunger.
And fast food will also interfere with your weight maintenance, since quick snacks will not allow the body to process food normally. This adds up to a third way to maintain weight.
Food quality regulation
This, along with regular exercise, is the best form of weight retention. If you eat right, eliminate unhealthy foods from food, consume less fatty foods that are difficult for the body to digest. And also to balance between the content of proteins and carbohydrates in food, then the weight will not increase. Since the body will receive only the necessary products, which it will use for its intended purpose, and not as savings.
Is it possible to lose weight once and for all
There are such cases. But the problem is that it depends on many factors. And these factors cannot be determined.
The metabolism can deteriorate at any time due to some kind of hormonal disruption. Your congenital thinness can easily turn into obesity if you eat too much food. Pregnancy and childbirth can add a lot of extra pounds to you. And sometimes after giving birth, people, on the contrary, become lighter than they were before them.
In this regard, it is easiest to look at professional athletes who have retired or given birth to a child. I'm talking about those athletes who were skinny when they played their sport. It is clear that shot putters after the end of their careers are unlikely to get even more fat.
So, some of these athletes remain thin for life. Someone is gaining weight and after 5-6 years they will no longer be recognized. Someone becomes a little fatter, but at the same time they do not see much fat.
It follows from this that everything depends on the specific organism. No one can say for sure whether you will get fat or not. But one thing is certain, if you eat too much, sooner or later you will get fat.
