Permanent weight loss is really about finding a way to weight cycle that works. Maintenance is a range, not a
fixed number. The secret is to find a way to eat that makes you feel like you are freely feeding, a strategy that
allows you to almost mindlessly keep your weight under control. You don’t want to have to worry about your
weight. For maintenance, the amount of fat and carbohydrate you eat is the key. Keep your carbohydrate
intake under 50 grams a day, and you are almost guaranteed to maintain your weight. Keep your carbohydrate
intake under 100 grams a day, and there’s still a good chance you can maintain your weight. The more you go
over 100 grams of carbohydrate a day, the greater the chance you will gain weight. Fat intake also plays a
significant role in maintenance, but opposite to how you expect. The more of certain types of fat you eat, the
more likely you are to maintain you weight. More tomorrow.
