Tips for maintaining lost weight
On January 1, many people started weight loss diets and are already experiencing success. The challenge lies in maintaining that weight loss. The National Weight Control Registry tracks people who have lost at least 30 pounds and have maintained that loss for at least a year. Here are seven common practices of people who have maintained their weight loss:
1. Eat Breakfast- It is well established that people who eat breakfast eat fewer calories later in the day.
2. Eat a low calorie diet- People on the registry tend to eat four to five smaller meals a day rather than just three. While the people on the registry have lost weight in a variety of ways, the most common was a low fat, high carbohydrate diet.

A fast knockdown certainly aided in saving nearby structures. Firefighters were on the scene for about an hour.
