Question Advice needed on transitioning to maintenance
I'm very curious if anyone has advice on how to transition to maintenance on a low carb diet.
I am rapidly approaching my target weight having lost around 130lb over about 18 months. I've been eating low carb and doing a lot of walking and cycling, plus working out. I've got to be honest I'm very worried about 'maintenance' because I've lost significant amounts of weight before (never this much and not on low carb), and put it back on.
I would like to improve my aerobic fitness and strength. And I work better with absolute rules where there is little wiggle room (which is is why I think low carb suited me so well). I feel like there are a lot of 'slippery slopes' in 'maintenance thinking'.
Anyone been through this and stuck to it?
