Losing weight with a diet makes the pounds tumble off, but all too often you end up eating them again quickly. To maintain a normal weight in the long term, you only need to change a few eating habits that work better than any diet.

 

Only eat when you're hungry

 

Do not eat strictly according to a diet plan or at certain times of the day, but when you feel hungry.

 

Natural balance

 

You don't need to weigh yourself constantly to know if you've put on a little weight. If you have snacked a little more one day, make up for it the next day with more exercise or lighter food.

 

Eat what's good for you

 

There are no "good" and "bad" foods. Eat what you feel like eating, then your hunger will be satisfied more quickly and you will end up eating less than if you force yourself to eat an apple when you would rather have a piece of cake.

 

Be demanding

 

You don't have to finish your plate if you don't like something. Don't be too fussy about what you eat.

 

Take your time

 

No standing, walking or eating on your hands. Sit down quietly and eat your food comfortably. Enjoy it!
