Stick to all the following rules and you will achieve the new, slimmer you, very quickly.

1. Eat at least three meals a day.

If you want more, have more. Five smaller meals per day can also be a good idea. Regular meals helps avoid snacking and will prevent you from feeling hungry.

2.Fill out a truth sheet every week.

We ask you to complete one on your first week’s diet but the true success of dieting is to complete a truth sheet weekly. Truth sheets prevent slimmer’s amnesia. You cannot “forget” what you have had to eat as everything is written down. You are less likely to cheat if you know you have to admit to that cheat on your truth sheet. It is a good idea to retain your truth sheets. If you have had a particularly good weight loss on one week, you can follow that week again. Save it as your computer screen saver, it will always be in sight as a reminder.

3. Use smaller plates.

If you pile food high on a smaller plate, psychologically it will always look more. Remember we do also eat with our eyes!

4. Eat a well balanced diet.

Use the foods available on your diet to the full. Vary your meals. This way you will continue to enjoy your diet and will not get bored. A well balanced diet is also important nutritionally to maintain health and well being.

5. Weigh out all of the restricted foods on your kitchen scales .

If you are not weighing your restricted foods and you are having poor weight loss, then this will definitely be the reason why. Remember, if you are not weighing any foods then you are eating all of the foods on the diet unlimited. Eating unlimited only brings about weight gains, not weight losses.

6. Do not exceed your treats.

Keep within your 200 calories daily allowance. You may save your calories up, however you still cannot exceed the 1400 calories weekly allowance. Use your extra calories how you spend money, very wisely! It is important to always include food you enjoy on your diet to be successful.

7. Do not weigh yourself at home.

You only need to weigh yourself once a week, same place, same time, on the same scales.

8. Be realistic about your weight loss.

After your first week you should only lose 1 to 2lbs per week. Imagine if you lost 1lb a week for 52 weeks, that’s 4 ½ stone you could lose in one year. Think about how long you’ve had your weight problem. Most people have had a weight problem for many years. You must not expect this to change overnight. The slower you lose weight and re-train your eating habits, the less likely you are to put the weight back on.

9. Do take some exercise .

Start slowly and build up. Do something that you enjoy. Exercises will tone you up, give you more energy and combined with your diet will ensure a speedy weight loss.

10. Set a goal.

This may be to reduce a clothes size. You may keep a slimmer picture of what you which you wish to return to. Whatever your goal, make sure you have one in mind.
