Think of it as a lifestyle change, not just a diet plan. Program your mind so you do not want the wrong foods. While eating unhealthy food think of the adverse effects it'll have on your body.

After a while your desire for fattening, salty and sugary foods will decrease.

Reward yourself. Remember, this is not a prison sentence. This is what is necessary for you to get the bikini body you want. Once a week, reward yourself with your favorite food as long as it isn't too unhealthy.
