2) Have realistic expectations
Set realistic weight loss expectations to boost feelings of achievement and prevent burn out. Just a moderate amount of weight loss of 5-10% can have a major impact on your health.
3) Pick a diet plan which fits your lifestyle

When you aim for perfection, motivation is quickly lost. By allowing yourself flexibility and forgiveness, you can stay motivated for a lot longer!
