7 Strategies To Maintain A Healthier Weight

Whether you’ve tried other methods before or are just starting out, this blog will walk you through 7 key strategies to achieve and maintain a healthier weight—no matter where you are in your journey.

Before you embark on any weight loss journey, it’s crucial to understand why you want to lose weight. Is it to improve your health, boost your confidence, or gain more energy to keep up with your family? This journey is more than just weight loss surgery.

Defining your personal reasons gives you a clear purpose and a motivating force to fall back on when things get tough.

At Tonic, we encourage our patients to reflect on their “why” and keep it in mind throughout the process. This helps you stay motivated and focused on the bigger picture, even when the scale doesn’t move as quickly as you’d like.

When aiming for your ideal weight in the long-term, it’s important to set realistic, attainable goals. Instead of focusing solely on the scale, set goals that encourage healthy habits, such as exercising regularly, improving sleep quality, or making healthier food choices.

SMART goalsSpecific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound—are an excellent tool for creating clear, actionable objectives. For instance, instead of setting a vague goal like “lose weight,” aim for something like, “lose 10 pounds over the next two months by exercising three times a week and cutting out sugary drinks.”

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to achieving a healthier weight. Everybody is different, and what works for one person may not work for another. That’s why Tonic provide a range of surgical and non-surgical solutions, including gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, and gastric band procedures.

Each treatment plan is more than just weight loss surgery; we’ll carefully tailor it to your individual needs and medical history, ensuring that the method you choose is the right fit for your body and your lifestyle. Our multidisciplinary team of experts—dietitians, surgeons and mental health professionals—will work closely with you to develop a plan that’s safe, effective, and sustainable.

Achieving lasting weight loss isn’t just about cutting calories; it’s about building long-term habits that support a healthy lifestyle. This means adopting strategies that you can maintain for years to come, such as:

  • Mindful eating: Learning to recognise your hunger and fullness cues can prevent overeating and help you develop a healthier relationship with food.
  • Physical activity: Incorporating regular physical activity is key to maintaining weight loss and improving your overall health. Whether it’s walking, swimming, or hitting the gym, choose activities you enjoy so it becomes a sustainable part of your routine.
  • Stress management: Stress can lead to emotional eating, so it’s important to find healthy ways to cope. Consider practices such as meditation, journaling, or yoga to keep stress in check.

It’s normal to experience plateaus during your weight loss journey. Your body naturally adjusts to changes over time, which can sometimes slow down progress. When this happens, don’t get discouraged. Instead, reassess your habits and make small changes that challenge your body in new ways.

Whether it’s trying a different type of workout, adjusting your calorie intake, or simply taking a mental break to recharge, overcoming plateaus requires patience and persistence. 

Remember, lasting results come from a combination of healthy choices made consistently over time.

Having a strong support system is essential for long-term weight loss success. Whether it’s family, friends, or a professional team, having people who encourage you can make all the difference.

Our support doesn’t stop once you’ve completed your procedure. We provide ongoing follow-up care, including regular check-ins, nutritional guidance, and emotional support. We’re with you every step of the way to ensure that you stay on track and achieve the lasting results you deserve.

Finally, remember that weight loss isn’t just about numbers. Celebrate the non-scale victories—such as improved mobility, better sleep, more confidence, or simply feeling healthier overall. These wins are just as important as the changes you see on the scale, and they serve as a reminder of how far you’ve come.

Your journey to a healthier weight doesn’t have to be complicated or overwhelming. By setting realistic goals, choosing the right treatment plan and building healthy habits, you can achieve lasting results and transform your life for the better.
