Maintenance Plan
(Your Life long Weight Maintenance Plan)
Some Helpful Hints:
- Continue to eat 6 SMALL meals each day.
- Make vegetables ½ of your plate during mealtime to reduce calories.
- Have at least 2 servings of fruit each day.
- Choose lean cuts of meat. Measure meat portions to be between 4 – 6 oz. cooked weight. 4 oz. of meat is roughly the size of a deck of cards or a computer mouse.
- Bake, Grill, Steam, Poach or Broil. Avoid fried foods or foods with cream sauces.
- Read food labels for serving size information.
- Drink calorie-free beverages such as plain water, calorie-free flavored water or diet drinks, diet soda, coffee, unsweetened tea.
- In a restaurant, food portions can be 2-4 times larger than the normal serving size. At the beginning of the meal, ask for a “To-Go” box and put at least half of the meal in the container. Or split your meal with someone. Order sauce/dressing “on the side” -- and use only a portion of it.
- Continue to weigh yourself on a weekly basis.
- Begin or continue to exercise daily. Small changes in your activity level can lead to big changes in your overall health.
