The same is true for weight loss plans without a history of success with many types of people. If there isn’t a proven track record why would you assume that the plan will work for you?
Does the weight loss plan fit your personal style? Much like the question about being able to maintain the plan for life, does this plan fit your lifestyle? Are you able to maintain your nutritional needs while eating at friends or restaurants or are you willing to make enough changes in the rest of your life to maintain this new weight loss plan.
One of the most difficult lifestyle changes to make is moving from the Standard Western Diet to the life of a vegan. A vegan diet is one that doesn’t include meat or milk products. And most vegans also eat only whole foods; which means that only 20% of their food is cooked.
People make that lifestyle change for health reasons and they are usually rewarded with a healthier life and increased energy. But, if you can’t manage to make those changes successfully then your motivation will be impacted negatively and you will be destined for failure.
The weight loss plan you choose should also get you excited! Do you enjoy the choices, the plan, the new energy and foods? If you are not excited then the initial movement to a nutritional change will be severely impacted by your lack of energy and enthusiasm.
You should also allow yourself a time to ‘fall’ off the diet or lifestyle change. Weight loss plans should have a degree of flexibility. People aren’t robots or machines. We just are not capable of maintaining a specific routine consistently day after day. The idea isn’t to be perfect but to maintain the changes for as many days as you can as the changes become more and more of a habit.
