What is Weight Management?
Keeping a healthy weight can be a struggle at the best of times, with confusing diet advice and intimidating exercise fads only adding to the struggle. However, reaching a healthy weight can be extremely beneficial to both your mental and physical health.
Weight management is all about either losing or gaining weight to reach a healthy goal weight, or to maintain a healthy weight. Most of us want to lose a couple of pounds here or there and weight management is the process of getting rid of those extra pounds.
Having a healthy approach to weight management often includes overall lifestyle changes. When we lose weight we often want it to be gone quickly, but this typically isn’t a healthy or achievable approach.
Weight management is about more than just weight loss
While getting to a healthy weight is an important first step in weight management, it isn’t the only step. Proper and healthy weight management involves maintaining a healthy weight long term.
Healthy weight management is about implementing lifestyle changes that you can maintain on a long-term basis.
Reasonable diet changes and a maintainable exercise regime will leave you reaping the health benefits of weight loss. Through changes to exercise and eating habits, you can safely and effectively achieve steady long-term healthy weight stability.
