💡 PRACTICAL IDEAS FOR MAINTAINING A HEALTHY WEIGHT
1. Small, frequent and balanced meals
Fruits, vegetables, protein and healthy fats at every meal.
Avoid long periods without eating.
2. Limit sugar & ultra-processed foods
Be careful with soft drinks, snacks, hidden sugars (e.g. cereals).
3. Hydration
6–8 glasses of water per day. Often hunger = thirst.
4. Exercise regularly, not exhaustively
30 minutes of walking per day is quite effective for maintenance.
Combine aerobics (e.g. walking, cycling) with strengthening (e.g. weights or pilates).
5. Sleep & stress management
Lack of sleep increases hunger and cravings for sweets.
Mindfulness techniques, yoga or simple meditation help significantly.
6. Mindful eating
We eat slowly, without screens, and stop when we feel full – not bloated.
