Supporting Your Long-Term Success in Weight Maintenance
Achieving your target weight is a significant milestone, and maintaining it requires a thoughtful approach to reintroducing conventional foods into your diet. This process is essential to ensure your body adjusts smoothly without overwhelming it and to minimize the risk of regaining weight.
1. The Refeed Period
Purpose:
The Refeed phase is crafted for individuals who have reached their target weight, allowing for a gradual transition from meal replacement products to conventional food.
Gradual Transition to Conventional Foods:
Ease Into It:
The goal is to slowly reintroduce conventional foods, helping your body adjust and reducing the risk of weight regain. Instead of moving directly to a full conventional diet, it’s crucial to take it slow.Transition Plan:
- Initial Steps: Begin by replacing one of your four meal replacement packs with a healthy breakfast.
- Next Steps: After a few days, incorporate both a healthy breakfast and dinner, while reducing to two meal replacement products per day.
- Continuous Adjustment: Gradually add more healthy meals, keeping some nutritional support from the meal replacement products.
This approach ensures you enjoy your meals while supporting your health effectively.

Important Note on Weight Changes During Refeed and Maintenance
During this period of calorie increase, it's normal to experience a 5–7 lb gain due to:
- Replenishing Glycogen Stores: As you consume more carbohydrates, your glycogen stores, which bind with water, are replenished.
- Increased Food Volume: The physical increase in the volume of food consumed.
- Digestive Adjustments: As your digestive system adapts to a more varied diet.
This weight gain is not fat but a natural adjustment process. Maintaining a slight calorie deficit will continue to support fat loss.
