That's it. That's all it takes. Just stay on the plan, the same plan that you used to lose the weight, just continue on that way and you'll be fine. I've been doing it for 15 years. It works. The one time I went significantly off plan (too many carbs) I gained 20 pounds. I learned my lesson. For me maintenance is not hard. It's easy. I just keep eating the way I've been eating and everything goes fine. A few extra carbs of on plan food and I will start gaining weight so I never stray very far and I am hardly ever tempted. Right now I am about 10 pounds up from my lowest weight but I've stopped gaining by being more careful with my carb counts. Most people seem to find it hard to maintain but I don't. I just stick with the program.
