For most people, keeping the weight off is a greater challenge than losing weight. Although you can afford to relax your eating plan a little you should aim to keep to the same types of food.
Research shows that regular exercise is one of the most effective ways to keep the weight off.
Most people are very inactive so it is important to start slowly and build up the amount you do gradually. Cut down the amount of time you spend watching television. Get out of your chair whenever you can at home and at work. Stand up whilst on the telephone, hide the remote controls for the TV and hi-fi. Seek out rather than avoiding the opportunity to be active during your day.
