“The easy part is the weight loss, surprisingly. The hard part is keeping it off, where changes have to become habits.” Thats because theyre doing it wrong. Gans says she’s seen the most maintenance success in men and women who eat three meals a day, and an afternoon snack of roughly 200 calories — think a KIND bar, a piece of fruit with a single-serving cheese, or popcorn and almonds. “And we focus on the dinner plate,” she says. “A quarter should be a high-fiber carb like barley, couscous or a baked potato; a quarter should be protein like eggs, skinless chicken, beans or tofu; and half should be veggies. One quarter high fiber carb plus half veggies could potentially add up to a 3/4 carbs meal, depending on the veggie. And NO fat?? Wheres the fat? Wrong. And thats why they regain the weight and cant keep it off.
