Diet : Maintain Weight Loss
Losing weight is rarely an easy task. But, once you’ve lost it, how do you keep it off? Exercise has been shown to be a crucial factor in maintaining weight loss. But you may be wondering how much exercise you need. To prevent weight gain, each week, adults need 150 to 250 minutes of exercise using 1200 to 2000 calories. But, after weight loss, the recommended time goes up to 200 to 300 minutes a week to prevent weight RE-gain. Excess weight can be a contributing factor for a number of health issues like heart disease and diabetes.
