Lifestyle change after any successful weight loss program should be reinforced with behavior modification that results to retaining their weight. There are some behaviors that are recommended. Here are some of them, be sure to pick more than a few (if not all) to practice.

Some effective behavior modifications include:
1. Focus on your healthy food snacks. This is not a rap session on your diet (you should have known this by now). When eating, create an ambience for your self. This includes special designated time and place. This also means no other distraction like TV or work. This will create a pleasurable eating experience, albeit the small portion of food.
2. There are also some habits that you can try (to retain), like leaving half a bite of each meal. Such discipline contributes to your resistance to food. You can also try having a longer time for your meal. This can help by making you feel full even if you have only eaten half of your meal.

3. There is a kitchen for a reason, keep all your food there and remember only to keep healthy ones. Keeping your food in one place means less temptation. You can avoid snacking while watching TV if the food is not in front of you. Junk foods and sweets are never recommended for anyone who is battling (and won) the weight loss war. When storing food, make sure also that you use colored containers so that you will not be enticed into eating.
4. If you are not hungry but feel the fang of eating, substitute eating with other activities. Say, call a friend, or take a nice long bath, or you can also try putting on your shoes and walking. Just to keep your mind off the food.
5. Recording the meals and meal portions also helps in monitoring how much you eat against how much you use up.
6. Target 10 glasses of water a day. By increasing the water intake, this makes you feel ‘fuller’. This would also ‘detoxify’ your body.

Some of these may sound overwhelming, so the best part is to start with just one. After successful one, try two, before you know it, you are practicing everything and behavior modification is on its way
