Immediate GratificationDavid lost 15 pounds in four weeks and found that the immediate change in his waistline was the best motivational tool he could find. "The rapid changes I experienced increased my motivation to succeed," he says. "Your diet was so simple to follow, with suitable food choices and simple substitutions." When weeks go by without the numbers on the scale going down, however, it's easy to reach for a brownie out of frustration. Challenge yourself to get a good start and you'll be so happy with the results that you'll never want to go back to your old life — or your old shape.
Taste Not, Want Not
One of the amazing things about training yourself to eat right is that it becomes its own reward. Your body is built to maintain whatever habits you accustom it to — pick the right habits and soon enough you'll be craving fruits and veggies when you once wanted chips and dips. So even if right now that ice cream sundae still looks mighty appealing, give it more time and you'll find that what once tempted your palate has faded into something you have no appetite for.
