Don’t: Lose Hope
Diets are hard work and setbacks are natural during the course of any weight loss plan. If you hit a plateau or have a rough week, don’t beat yourself up over it. The only real ”secret” to a successful diet is persistence. When the going gets tough, remember that the healthy lifestyle a diet promotes — exercise, nutritious foods, and moderate portions — has long-lasting benefits that go well beyond the scale.
