I am a 5'9.75" male who weighed ~206 pounds a few months ago, started limiting myself to ~1250 calories a day (with ~15 cheat days), and now weighs ~180 pounds. My goal is to go down to 155 pounds.
I keep on reading that around ~90% of people who lose a substantial amount of weight gain it back. For those who lost a lot of weight and kept it off long-term, how did you do it?
When I get to 155 pounds, my TDEE should be ~2400 calories. I've been obsessively counting calories for the past couple of months or so. When I finish my diet, I still plan on counting calories. Maybe not as obsessively as I have been, but I plan on at least getting a general idea of how many calories I consume each day and strictly limiting myself to ~2400 calories a day post-diet. As long as I do this, I should not gain back the weight, right?
It seems that most people who regain the weight do so because they go back to mindlessly eating without considering calories whatsoever, thus they eat much more than they were before without knowing it because the body wants to compensate for the months of relative starvation, right? As long as I don't go back to mindless eating, the weight should stay off, right? Is this all I have to do to keep the weight off long-term?
