When it comes to weight loss, many people focus solely on shedding the pounds and often overlook the most critical step: maintaining that weight loss. That’s where the fourth phase of our Weight Loss Plans, the Maintenance Phase, comes in. This phase is specifically designed to help you transition from active weight loss to a sustainable lifestyle that doesn't include the weight you worked so hard to lose. In this Wellness Article, we dive deeper into why the Maintenance Phase is so crucial and explain how it helps you lock in your results for the long term.
What is the Maintenance Phase?
Research suggests that some people may be able to lose weight and keep it off, but most weight regain is attributable to eating more and falling back into old habits. Our Maintenance Phase is a 6-week program that'll help you learn how to maintain your goal weight while gradually reintroducing more food into your diet. The purpose of this phase is to help you build lifelong healthy habits so that you can enjoy the freedom of eating more while maintaining your goal weight.
How Does the Maintenance Phase Work?
Designed by our team of dieticians, naturopaths, and nutritionists, the Maintenance Phase works by gradually increasing your food allotments every two weeks over a 6-week period. This strategic increase allows your body to adjust to the new levels of food intake slowly, helping to stabilize your weight and build healthy eating habits.
During this phase, you’ll also switch from using weight loss supplements to maintenance supplements. This transition is essential to help your body adapt to the increased food intake while still providing the support it needs to keep your weight stable. Your Personal Health Coach will guide you every step of the way, ensuring you have the tools and knowledge to successfully complete the program and maintain your healthy weight for life.
Why Do Your Allotments Increase During Maintenance?
If you've been following one of our Weight Loss Plans, you'll be used to the lower-calorie allotments that helped you shed pounds. However, once you've reached your goal weight, it’s important to increase your food intake to a maintenance level. If you continue eating at your weight-loss allotments, you'll continue losing weight, which isn’t sustainable or healthy in the long run.
By adding more food gradually, you’ll teach your body how to maintain your weight while ensuring you’re getting the necessary nutrients for a healthy lifestyle. This process allows you to develop a balanced relationship with food, helping you feel satisfied and energized without the risk of overeating.
Why is Completing the Maintenance Phase So Important
This phase helps your body adjust to the new normal, ensuring that you don’t experience the all-too-common weight regain that often follows a typical diet. It teaches your body to maintain your weight at a higher calorie level, making it easier to sustain your results in the long term.
What’s Included in the Maintenance Phase?
