How to Maintain Body Weight

Maintaining a current body weight has never been easier. All it takes is catering to your body's needs and wants in 4 easy step.

 

1. Listen yo your body, if you are hungry eat. If you are thirsty drink plenty of water. If you feel sluggish, get up and move. Your body knows what it wants and it would be a good idea to learn its language.

2. Maintain your current routine, it may not be perfect everyday but remember that in order for your body to gain or loose one pound it must gain or loose 3500 calories. Seeing as how the average diet consists of 2000 calories you would have to over eat or under eat by alot, so remember that weight fluctiaion thorugh out the day is normal but it hardly ever sticks.

3. Learn about healthy eating habits. In order to maintain body weight your body needs a variety of nutrients and vitamins, learn about them and eat many different things. Unlike a routine it may not be wise to eat the exact same thing everyday as over a period of time this may cause a deficiency in some vitamin or mineral.

4. Enjoy yourself, do not feel pressured to stick to a strict diet. Even junk food and sweet contains oils, fats, and sugars that your body needs. Be liberal with your body's needs and indulge everyonce in a while. It is good for the body and the soul, we have the priviledge of eating a variety of foods in our daily lives so experiment with new dishes. It is a nice way of maintaining body weight and learning more about your body's needs and wants.
