Behavioral interventions, including self-monitoring of weight and food habits, are essential for maintaining weight loss and preventing rebound in obesity treatment.
To keep weight off, adopt behavioral strategies. Weigh yourself 4 times a day (morning, after breakfast, after dinner, before bed) and graph your weight to track trends. Use a '30-chewing method' to slow down eating and improve satiety signals. Keep a diet behavior questionnaire to identify triggers for overeating, such as stress or emotional eating. Remember that small improvements are valuable, and perfection is not required for success.
In order to maintain the weight loss effect long-term, the following three techniques are effective as treatment techniques for long-term maintenance.
