Losing weight only to gain it back again is frustrating! But once you stop "dieting," it's easy to fall back into old habits and regain weight. We can break this cycle by shifting our mindset to practicing healthy forever behaviors for lasting success.

Practice the Triple Imperative. 

Focus on lots of fruits and vegetables, strategic use of HMR foods, and consistent exercise. 

Embrace abundance, not deprivation.

Plan ahead and focus on healthy foods and lifestyle behaviors you can say "yes" to. 

Become a better planner. 

Make a grocery list before heading to the store, prep fruit and vegetables to have ready for grab-and-go snacks, and schedule your exercise.

Enjoy food, strategically.

Enjoy moderate portions of your favorite foods, like a slice of pizza with lots of veggies. 

Find activities that you like.

Try things you enjoy and can maintain, like walking, hiking, swimming, or gardening. 

Grow your support network.

Tap into HMR coaching and the community. Also, get your family and friends on board by being open and honest about your goals and asking for their support. 

Weigh yourself weekly.

By weighing yourself regularly, you can catch and correct small weight gains before they feel overwhelming. 

No black and white thinking.

If you get off track, don't get down on yourself, or consider the day or week a lost cause. Instead, make a positive choice, no matter how small. Blend up an HMR Shake, eat some veggies, or go for a walk, and just like that... you're back on track!
