Manage your weight

Are you looking to reach a healthy weight or maintain it? Diet and exercise are both critical to maintaining a healthy weight, losing excess weight or not gaining lost weight again. You gain weight when you consume more calories through what you eat and drink than the calories we burn during physical activity. The amount of physical activity we need to manage our weight varies a lot between people.

But it is not yet clear exactly how much physical activity is necessary to achieve it since it varies greatly between one person and another. You may need to do more than 150 minutes of moderate activity a week to maintain your weight.
