Understand that there is a lot of confusion and misinformation when it comes to dieting. Complexity is the ultimate enemy of execution, so lets not over complicate things. Some experts say that you should not diet for a limited amount of time because this is considered crash dieting. They advocate only taking the lifetime approach to dieting.

Again we want to keep it simple, so if you are looking to do a short term 6 week diet plan that’s fine. The important thing is that we don’t start any diet, whether its a lifelong plan or temporary plan without knowing that we can complete it first. You can seriously mess up your metabolism that way. It is important to spend time after your diet re adjusting your metabolism back to regular levels before jumping back in on that bowl of ice cream.
A huge mistake that people make when dieting is they weigh themselves every single day. It’s pretty hard to discover how to stick to a diet when your constantly sabotaging yourself. You see, your weight can increase up to 5 lbs between the days depending on water weight retention, muscle gain, and a number of hormonal factors. If you see that you gained 5 pounds you may lose it. This will lead to a cortisol release, which will slow results and may even cause you to eat like a pig. This could lead to you totally giving up and quitting. So don’t weigh yourself daily. Once a week at most.
