<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThere\u2019s no denying that losing weight is one of the most challenging things in life, but do you know what\u2019s even more daunting than losing weight? Well, it is to hustle every day and stay motivated to achieve your goals. While the internet is flooded with fitness experts and motivation, do they always work?

Is it for your health or to feel more confident or to fit into your jeans? Whatever your reason is, write it down. Put it somewhere you can see it every day, like on a sticky note on your mirror or on your phone’s lock screen. Read it when you are feeling tempted to eat something you should not. If your goal is just to “get fit” without a reason, it will be hard to keep going. If you have a personal reason, it will be easier to stay motivated. <\/p>\n Intermittent Fasting remains one of the most popular and proven strategies to lose weight, which divides your day cycle between fasting and eating windows. While there are people who follow such an eating pattern as a preferred dietary choice, the most common choice remains to follow the fasting style till the time you reach your weight loss goals. However, it’s also a well-established fact that maintaining weight loss, once you transition back to regular eating habits is a harder battle to be won, and things can get off-balanced if you do not follow dietary discipline. In fact, some people find maintaining the weight loss and establishing a routine harder than the actual weight loss process. So, if you have just successfully lost weight after following Intermittent Fasting, here are some tips to actually maintain the weight loss and transition to an easier lifestyle:Also read: Best Intermittent Fasting window to lose weight, according to studies<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Set small wins and rewards<\/span>Always plan small wins rather than trying to much at once. For instance, instead of saying “I want to lose 20kg by summer” say “I will walk for 20 minutes every day” or “I will drink water instead of soda for three days”. If you can do these things you will feel good about yourself, and you will want to keep going. Big goals can be overwhelming. Small victories can make you feel like you can do anything.Track every step<\/span>Keep an eye on your achievements and cherish them! Get a journal or an app. Write down what you eat how you exercise and how you are feeling. It is great to see that you have made progress. Like if you have lost 2kg in three weeks and you have energy. Numbers do not. It is nice to see pictures of yourself or measure your progress to remind yourself that you are doing well.Keep your friends around<\/span>Tell your friends or family what you are trying to do. They can cheer you on and make it more fun. You can also join groups where people share recipes and talk about their struggles. It is nice to have people who understand what you are going through. It can make you feel more accountable. When you have people who are supporting you, it is easier to say “I did it today” or “maybe tomorrow.” <\/p>\n Reward the Effort<\/span>If you have been doing well for a while, treat yourself. Like buy shoes after you have worked out ten times or have a movie night after you have eaten healthy for a week. Do not reward yourself with food because that can make it harder to lose weight. It is nice to give yourself a present every now and then because it can make you feel happy and motivated.Talk to yourself<\/span>Imagine what you will be like when you have lost weight. Like if you can run with your kids or feel confident in your clothes. Say it out loud. “I am getting stronger every day.” Do not say things about yourself because that can make it harder to stay motivated. Instead say things and remind yourself that you can do it. You can also read about people who have lost weight and been successful and that can inspire you to keep going.Try out and let\u2019s know your progress!<\/span><\/div>\n![\"Tips](\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/msid-130419768\/tips-to-maintain-weight-loss-after-transitioning-from-intermittent-fasting.jpg\" "\\"Intermittent")
