The answer I think is No. Along with What, we need to be committed to the diet plan, which no matter how easy it sounds is the most difficult thing to do.

With the 24X7 work culture, diet is the main thing which is worst affected. Junk food, untimely meals, unhealthy eating habit etc, is being followed, which acts as slow poison on human body. Weight gain is one of the first symptom of the upcoming health problems. Thus, the popularity of diet have risen in leaps and bounds. Diets are not always according to our tastes and one rare thing it demands is time. Thus, commitment to diet plans becomes a big problem. Most of the time the plans are dropped mid way, which leads to further weight gain.

Thus, here are some tips to be committed to your diet plan -

1.Don't Make Unrealistic Aims – A weight plan which assures you a good weight loss with a strict diet, may come true for some people and not for others. Before making a decision on a diet, ask yourself if it is for you? While considering a diet, you should match it with your time, your motivation, things available, your monthly plan and budget. The fist tip to be committed to a diet plan is to not make a decision in haste. You know yourself the best and thus, make decision accordingly.
