Mental Preparation
Get your mind right. This is probably THE MOST important step that you must take if you want to succeed at anything in your life. It is the foundation for success no matter what it is you are trying to achieve.
It really does not matter what diet program you choose but you must have to have a clear cut idea of the reasons why you want to lose weight, what you want your results to be and what your plan is in order to achieve these results.
Write it down. A great way to get mentally prepared for your diet is to first think about all the reasons you want to lose weight and write down everything, no matter how insignificant you may think they are. Write down everything!
Keep your list with you. Take your list with you at all times. This becomes a visual reminder to why your even dieting in the first place and can help you out during those rough times when you have the urge to cheat, you would be surprised at how well this technique works in your weak moments.
Keep a food diary. This not only helps you keep track of how many calories you are consuming, but also lets you see were you need to make changes at in your diet. Write down what you eat for 3 days. Breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner.
When you look back over this 3 day period, you will be able to see which days you may have consumed more calories and you will also be able to see the reasons why. Example: You may have had a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast one day and ate a lot less during the rest of the day, or maybe on the second day for breakfast you only ate a banana but then ate more during the rest of the day.
