Losing weight is a struggle but so is maintaining it. It's terrible if you have done the hard work to lose those few inches only to have them back in a few months or perhaps weeks. Of course, the thumb rule to maintain your weight is consistency in following healthy lifestyle habits that actually helped you lose weight. Therefore, it's not just important to adopt diet changes that help you lose weight but also sustain it. So, if you're in the process of shedding few pounds or have just attained the perfect figure you've always dreamt of, here are few tips you must follow to keep the weight off.

1. Eat your carbs: You may have cut down on your carb intake to lose weight but it is important to have them in order to sustain the weight loss, advises Celebrity Nutritionist Pooja Makhija. If you're not eating enough carbs you will not be able to sustain the weight loss and eat more to make up for the lack of calories.

2. Eat more fruits: According to a study, published in the British Medical Journal, eating fruits like as apples, pears, and berries may be linked to less weight gain. This benefit can be attributed to the presence of high levels of flavonoids in such fruits. Flavonoid is a natural compound known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory health benefits. 

3. Add lots of fiber to your daily diet: Foods like fresh fruits, green leafy vegetables, whole grains and lean protein are great as they fill you up and take longer to digest keeping you full and satisfied. This eliminates the need to binge eat and prevents instances of weight gain.
