Tracking calories or following strict plans can feel difficult over a long period of time. While some nutritionists or health experts say you can relax your dieting efforts after losing the weight, it can be incredibly easy to fall back into old eating habits. Instead of falling back down the rabbit hole, set a meal plan for yourself. Having a plan for your meals not only helps when it's time to shop for groceries, but it also eliminates any temptations you have to snack or overeat while you're at home.

If you don't have time to plan, or simply feel extra hungry, having healthy snacks and meals stocked can be incredibly helpful. Instead of turning to a bag of potato chips, why not stock your pantry with a few healthier optionslike popcorn, apples, or nuts? If you don't have time for dinner, you could always turn to a few healthier frozen dinners that are easy to pop in the oven when you need something healthy and low effort.

The NIA recommends at least 150 minutes of moderately intense physical activity a week. But that doesn't have to be all at once! If you want to go for a 30-minute walk every day, go for it. Prefer a long run or time in the gym or in a workout class? Spend an hour or so in the gym, then enjoy a long run or a workout class on the weekends. There's no specific rulebook on the type of physical activity that you should do. Simply choose something that gets you active and moving, which helps with your overall muscle health and weight management.

What works for one person in terms of staying healthy doesn't always work for everyone. After spending some time losing the weight, evaluate what did or didn't work for you. Evaluate what times you feel hungry and plan on having a healthy snack at those times. Think about the times of day you're craving something sweet, and choose to have your healthy dessert then instead of indulging on snacks you really don't want. Don't pick up a habit simply because someone else said it worked for them. Figure out what truly works for you and incorporate those healthy patterns in your life. Plus, having healthy patterns can actually assist you in those times of uncertaintylike during holidays or when you're traveling. Get started by trying these30 Healthy Habits Fit People Live By.
