3 Levels of Keeping the Weight Off

Losing weight isn't the hardest part.
Keeping it off is.

Level #1: The Non-Negotiables

Keep strength training 3 to 4 times per week — maintenance still requires maintenance

Keep protein high, 25 to 40g per meal, to maintain muscle and control hunger

Level #2: The Check-Ins

Weigh yourself once or twice a week — not daily if it stresses you out, but don't avoid it for six months

Stay active with 8,000 to 12,000 steps a day, on top of training

Level #3: The Lifestyle Mindset

Never go back to "before" the habits that got the weight off are the habits that keep it off

Treat maintenance as continuing, not finishing

Don't finish your diet.
Build a lifestyle you never need to quit.
