[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you look at studies of people who maintain weight loss over years and years you find that there is no one thing they do. There are sets of practices that people engage in, not one thing. But the thing that is consistent is that it is a never ending struggle, weight regain happens, and the people who are successful with maintaining loss have a sort of trip wire weight where if they gain a few pounds they go into weight loss mode again. I am one of those long-time weight loss maintainers (50 lbs 7 years ago, have maintained 40 of that) and I find that nothing - NOTHING - works forever. There are some methods that I don't like or don't work for me, but in general if I try hard enough anything can work - Noom, Weight Watchers, IF, low carb. You find that being dogmatic about this stuff is useless. What works this year won't work next, either because I have changed or just because I am too bored with it to stick to

With the issue of insatiable appetite, I have come to terms with hunger. I stopped thinking of hunger as the enemy, or something to be appeased or prevented. Its just a feeling in my body, and just like I don't give too much thought to a  headache or stiff back, I'm not going to give too much thought to hunger when it is inconvenient. My hunger got me to 50 lbs overweight - clearly my hunger is not a reliable partner in telling me how much food I need, so I've stopped letting it control me. Hot tea, cut up veggies, and pickles (all sorts) are my go-to when I know it isn't time to eat but I am ravenous. [/quote]

I think this is the most honest thing I ever read about the reality of maintaining weight loss over the years. Thanks for posting it.[/quote]
