When to start maintenance?

When to start maintenance?

Postby Guest » May 29th, 2005, 12:14 pm

Hello,

Quick question here, is it suggested you get to your actual goal weight before starting the transition phase, or do do you start when you're within a 5-10 lb. range due to the weight loss that typically occurs during maintenance?

Any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions?

Thanks,

Dear Diet Diva ~

While most people lose a few pounds during transition and maintenance, I feel it is best to go all the way and reach your goal before beginning transition. Usually there is some initial fluid retention as more foods are added to the meal plan and packets of Medifast are taken away. Some people stop short of their goal weight and never quite get there. I feel there is great satisfaction in accomplishing one's goal.
