Wahoo! You\u2019ve worked hard and met your weight-loss goal. You can look in the mirror with pride and post your new look on social media to show off to your friends and family. Be proud of yourself, weight loss is something that requires a lot of commitment and dedication.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4098 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/188.166.217.78\/eztakaful\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Blog-Facebook-Images_VeggieMan.jpg\" alt=\"Blog-Facebook-Images_VeggieMan\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/testing-hlmt.eztakaful.com.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Blog-Facebook-Images_VeggieMan.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/testing-hlmt.eztakaful.com.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Blog-Facebook-Images_VeggieMan-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/testing-hlmt.eztakaful.com.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Blog-Facebook-Images_VeggieMan-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/testing-hlmt.eztakaful.com.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Blog-Facebook-Images_VeggieMan-1024x536.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>So\u2026now that you are happy with your new size, the next question now is how to maintain this level and stopping yourself from putting the kilos back on.<\/p>\n<p>The answer is straight forward &#8211; <strong>don\u2019t stop doing the things that helped you slim down in the first place.<\/strong> If smarter food choices, exercise and healthy habits have led you to your goal weight and size, don\u2019t quit!<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #008080;\">Question 1: \u00a0How different should my diet be so I don\u2019t put weight back on?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The eating habits you adopted to lose weight must be the same ones you employ to keep those pounds off. How much food you need to maintain your target weight will depend largely on how physically active you will be.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you ramp up your exercise level, you can eat a little more. Experiment by adding foods to your diet in 100-calorie increments. Focus on nutritious foods like whole grains, fruit, vegetables, yoghurt and lean protein.\u00a0 Once you find you start to gain weight, you\u2019ll need to cut back your calorie intake, or add more exercise to your routine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If trips to the gym become less frequent, you\u2019ll need to cut back your food intake. Mind you, once you\u2019ve lost weight, your body burns fewer calories than it did when you were heavier. So it\u2019s advisable you cut some calories from your food plan to prevent the pounds creeping back quickly.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #008080;\">Question 2:\u00a0 How do I stay motivated to exercise?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We are human; we know it\u2019s much easier to push ourselves when we are working towards a goal than when we have already achieved it. \u00a0So how can I make the trips to the gym a routine, or even a regular habit?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You need to stay hungry and focus on progressing beyond your original ambition. It doesn\u2019t need to be a big leap, it just needs to be enough that you challenge yourself to move forward. Instead of \u201cI need to go to the gym today,\u201d it becomes: \u201cI wonder if I\u2019ll be able to pick up that weight that I couldn\u2019t pick up last time?\u201d \u00a0Instead of run up one set of stairs, try two or three?\u00a0 Why not?<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #008080;\">Question 3: How do I avoid temptations and my old bad habits?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4097 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/188.166.217.78\/eztakaful\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Blog-Facebook-Images_ChoicesMan.jpg\" alt=\"Blog-Facebook-Images_ChoicesMan\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/testing-hlmt.eztakaful.com.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Blog-Facebook-Images_ChoicesMan.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/testing-hlmt.eztakaful.com.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Blog-Facebook-Images_ChoicesMan-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/testing-hlmt.eztakaful.com.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Blog-Facebook-Images_ChoicesMan-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/testing-hlmt.eztakaful.com.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Blog-Facebook-Images_ChoicesMan-1024x536.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The answer is simple: Embrace Your New Life! Weight loss is just the beginning of a new and healthy life. \u00a0If you look at it as the end of the road, you are likely to slip and regain weight. There\u2019s always a bigger mountain to climb, another race to run! \u00a0Remember what got you into trouble in the first place.\u00a0 Was it too much meat? Eating when you\u2019re stressed? Too many junk food and sweets?\u00a0 You know yourself well enough to know when you\u2019re falling back into old habits. So embrace the changes and even add a few more, trying all sorts of new things: new hobbies, new foods and new friends. It\u2019s such a great time to redefine yourself.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><strong>Stay proud of how much you\u2019ve accomplished.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><strong>Remind yourself of all the positive steps you\u2019ve taken to improve your health and of how empowered you are now.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><strong>From all at EZTakaful, we wish you continued success in achieving a healthy lifestyle!<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EZTakaful&#8217;s 6 week weight-loss programme Projek Evolusi came to an end with flying colours!\u00a0 Congratulations to our Ultimate Champions Ain and Jefrri who lost 5.2kg and 11.4kg in 6 weeks.\u00a0 After 6 weeks of blood, sweat and Herbalife Nutrition supplements our Super 6 contestants have lost kilograms left, right and centre!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4099,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3778","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.6 -
