In most diets, people do great during the first four days.
However, when day five or six comes, most of them give up.
Their reason? They do not have satisfaction from the foods recommended on their dietitians.
So, instead of eating normally, they splurge on all the wrong food choices to reach satiety.
Changing eating plan is generally not simple.
It requires concentration and dedication.
Avoid being on cold turkey in quitting the bad choices of eating foods.
Many bad foods can be addictive.
Anybody can be an addict of sugar, fast food, salt and many others.
Quitting on those foods in three weeks or two months cannot be totally done without relapses.
Stop torturing yourself and allow gradual changes to happen in your eating plan.
When time comes that you have finally reached your desired weight, you can still enjoy those favorite foods in moderation.
For example, among your favorite foods are white bread, chocolate bar, ice cream, and soda.
Instead of totally abstaining from eating each food, try to avoid eating one of them for two to three weeks.
You will be amazed with the weight you will lose from not eating one favorite food.
When you successfully accomplish this, you can try avoiding another of your favorite food.
This approach has helped many people to stay motivated.
Rather than setting a goal to eat all healthy foods at one time, settle for smaller goals that are realistically reachable.
To some medical professionals, weight loss is a mental game and many people do not believe they can give up the foods that are making them gain weight.
But as soon as you make the changes in your eating plan and start seeing good results, you can be encouraged to continue.
To test your commitment, try doing one assignment.
Choose one or two foods or drinks you binge and make changes.
For example, if you drink soda every after meal, choose water.
Or, when you usually eat dessert after meal, stop eating that kind of food and instead, choose fruits.
Make sure that the habit is something you really binge on or abuse.
To know the difference, do the following.
1.
Weigh yourself before you start.
2.
Avoid eating the food or the drink you choose to remove for the next three weeks.
3.
Do not make any other changes in your eating plan.
4.
Never make a make-up food to replace what you give up, unless it is healthy.
