Things You'll Need:
- Patience
- Determination
-
Step 1
First off, make sure the diet you're on is right for you. Consult a doctor, or see which diet you think is easiest for you to follow and keep track of what you're consuming.
-
Step 2
Feeling healthy is a big part of sticking to a diet - choose a diet that makes you feel good physically.
-
Step 3
Set realistic goals - determine how many calories/carbs/etc. you can cut from each meal and how much you can burn through excercise each day. That way, a clear number will motivate you closer and closer to your target.
-
Step 4
Keep track! It's hard to know exactly how much you're losing and taking in unless you keep track of what is in your meals. Keep a food diary for the duration of your diet.
-
Step 5
Two is company! Diet with a friend or join a club so you don't feel left out when other people around you are eating to their heart's delight.
-
Step 6
Keep reminding yourself - a memo or note can really help - and that way you'll be less tempted to sneak in an extra slice of chocolate cake.
-
Step 7
Don't forget to excercise - just cutting down on calories isn't enough. You need to burn them away as well!
