Weight Loss

With obesity affecting 5 per cent of the country's total population, weight loss is top priority for many. However, we also know that losing weight is no cakewalk. A combination of a healthy diet and regular workout is the key to healthy and sustainable weight loss.

Planning meals that help with weight gain and prevent unintended weight loss can seem overwhelming. A solution? Follow a weight gaining meal plan! This simple step can lead to successful weight gain by tracking calories and ensuring enough of the right foods are being consumed.


How to Gain Weight

Weight Gain Meal Plan Tips

  • Your weight gain meal plan should focus on high-calorie foods spread throughout the day to keep you       feeling full, but not so full that you skip meals and thus, calories. Below are a few tips to help when       creating your weight gaining meal plan.
  • Focus on eating smaller meals more frequently. This is especially important with older adults because as       we age our appetite decreases. Aim to eat 3 meals and 3 snacks a day to keep calories up and weight loss       down.
  • Pay attention to when you drink fluids. Drinking fluids before meals fills your stomach, leaving little room       for the meal itself. Aim to drink fluids after meals or choose high calorie smoothies and high calorie shakes       as in-between meal snacks.
  • Incorporate “fortified” foods. Fortified foods are high calorie foods that can be added to meals and snacks       and include butter, cream, cheese, olive oil and whole milk.

Weight maintain

Unfortunately, many people who lose weight end up gaining it back. In fact, only about 20% of dieters who start off overweight end up successfully losing weight and keeping it off in the long term However, don’t let this discourage you. There are a number of scientifically proven ways you can keep the weight off, ranging from exercising to controlling stress. These strategies might be just what you need to tip the statistics in your favor and maintain your hard-won weight loss.


Why People Regain Weight

There are a few common reasons why people gain back the weight they lose. They are mostly related to unrealistic expectations and feelings of deprivation.

Restrictive diets : Extreme calorie restriction may slow your metabolism and shift your appetite-regulating hormones, which are both factors that contribute to weight regain.

Wrong mindset : When you think of a diet as a quick fix, rather than a long-term solution to better your health, you will be more likely to give up and gain back the weight you lost.

Lack of sustainable habits : Many diets are based on willpower rather than habits you can incorporate into your daily life. They focus on rules rather than lifestyle changes, which may discourage you and prevent weight maintenance.

  • Regular exercise plays an important role in weight maintenance. It may help you burn off some extra calories and increase your metabolism, which are two factors       needed to achieve energy balance.
  • When you are in energy balance, it means you burn the same number of calories that you consume. As a result, your weight is more likely to stay the same.
  • Several studies have found that people who do at least 200 minutes of moderate physical activity a week (30 minutes a day) after losing weight are more likely to       maintain their weight.
  • In some instances, even higher levels of physical activity may be necessary for successful weight maintenance. One review concluded that one hour of exercise a       day is optimal for those attempting to maintain weight loss.
  • It’s important to note that exercise is the most helpful for weight maintenance when it’s combined with other lifestyle changes, including sticking to a healthy diet.
  • Weight maintenance may be easier to accomplish if you pay attention to the types and amounts of carbs that you eat.
  • Monitoring your weight by stepping on the scale on a regular basis may be a helpful tool for weight maintenance.
