8 ways to WIN at your diet!
Set reasonable goals

Aiming to lose 20 pounds in 1 week is just not going to happen, no matter how hard you try or how much you suffer. That's why radical elimination diets simply do not work - not to mention the yoyo diet phenomenon, in which you risk gaining all the weight back as soon as the diet is over.
So set realistic goals. Aiming to lose 5 pounds per month is a great start!
