I want to start preparing myself mentally for what ia coming my way after a long diet. I know losing the weight is hard but is probably only half of the equation if you can't keep it off. So here I am trying to think ahead and collect some good advise.
Started dieting in mid October and lost 24kgs till now mainly by adding some exercise (not much, but used to do zero before!). I assume I still have some 5-8kgs to lose to be in an 'acceptable' shape. That would definitely not be single digit BF but would have taken me from 40% or more to below 15%. Now question is: how do I cut the diet gradually so that I do not risk of a quick rebound and gaining it all back?
I have read about the reverse dieting but am not really sure how effective nor how to do it. Probably there are better things out there. I am fully clear that main change needs to be in my habits, but what else can I do to help? For example start adding a few days a week at maintenance and rest still at a deficit, or keep taking some fat burner although not in a deficit anymore, etc.
Finally, and maybe not the ideal sub-forum but I would like start putting some more muscle and be able to see some quick wina/gains to keep me going. Not because I want to take a shorcut but because I acknowledged that seeing the results is my main motivation to keep me going! This was the case with the weight loss. So what would you recommend for that? I have never taken any supps on this regards and must admit I am a bit ignorant on the topic so if redirecting me to read some link would make it easier please feel free to do so.
Once again thanks guys!!
