Don’t diet on the weekends
This is another
unconventional bit of advice. I was able to lose 50 pounds without
dieting on the weekends. I found myself tired, depressed, and
unmotivated if I tried to continue my diet into the weekend. I felt
that Friday and Saturday (my weekend) was a time to celebrate 5 days of
dieting. You may not find this necessary, especially in the first few
weeks of a diet. However, as many weeks passed, the weekend became a
time for me to celebrate my weekly successes and get myself mentally
prepared for another five days of dieting. I considered it a mental
recharge.
