Life after the Thermogenic Diet

As one who had a baby and reverted during that time and loses very slowly
since, I'll tell you what you need to do.

DO NOT revert back to old habits! You can not. You have to eat they way
you eat during the diet to keep the weight off after the diet. That is 1/2
the reason why most diets fail, as they are not a LIFE plan but a temporary
fix. The other 1/2 is people revert back to old habits.

2 things that made me gain after 5 years of being somewhat successful. I
never reach my goal weight, but the weight I was at was good and I felt
good. I eat out a lot, which was not good for me I gained about 15 lbs just
from a year of eating out 2x a week. Yep I stuck to low carb stuff, mostly,
but I think restaurants lie about how they cook things and what they use.
The other thing was when I became pregnant, I just pigged out on all junk
food as if I'd lost my mind. REALLY bad.

Have you looked at low carb plans that involve a maintenance phase? That
would be a huge help to you. Exercise would be another.

You don't "cure" anything by losing 35 pounds or so. Congratulations on
the weight loss. But you didn't cure anything.

If you eat about like you always ate, you'll certainly get fatter again.
Life is like that.

In order to be lighter, you have to be a different kind of eater. Some
dietary people call this "Way Of Eating" or WOE.

Maybe you can follow some "other diet", after weight loss, and keep the
weight off.

One of the great failures of diets is that they don't prepare you for
how to eat differently for the rest of your life so you don't just get
fat again.

Did the Thermogenic Diet tell you how to keep it off for life? If not,
you are in a bad place.

The ordinary suggestion is to follow the diet that caused the weight
loss, and modify it a bit by adding more vegetables - still avoiding
starches on a regular basis.

Remember, you aren't "cured" of anything by the weight loss.

If you eat in your old "fat" way, you'll become fat again, and the
struggle to lose weight will have been pointless.

Sorry.

I recommend the Atkins Fat Fast. You should be able to lose 4 to 7
pounds in 10 days with it.

Take up some serious exercise (since you don't mention it as a factor in
your weight loss).

Frankly, I don't think moving to a "blood sugar diet" makes much since at
all since that's basically what low carb is. And if you want to control
insulin resistance, weight lifting is an excellent idea. The combination of
low carb and weight lifting should really help.

Add to that some combination of swimming, walking, cycling, running, skiing,
hiking, etc. Get your ass in motion. 🙂

Continue to eat low carb. I recommend very low carb. Most important, drink 2 tablespoons of Extra LIGHT (not Virgin) Olive Oil
twice a day, and your cravings for processed foods will be gone. You will not be able to eat a single cookie. It's amazing. see:

Sounds like you've gone back to some of your wicked ways before you lost the
weight. Also, did you receive some education about lifestyle change to help
you diet!

You can eat quite normally and keep weight off, but if you eat in excess
then you'll put it back on, its fairly simple really........and.......dont
ever eat procesed foods - they are just [censored]! Good, freshly prepared food
is better for you and helps maintain weight stability by altering your
tastes and appetite.

Exercise - its a must!!!!
