Weight loss can be a difficult process. After the struggle of finding a perfect diet, you have to worry whether you will be able to stick with it. Dieting takes strength, motivation, honesty and self control; and the fact is, not everyone can adapt to the same diet. That is why there are so many diets out there. Different people have different needs and they respond better to certain foods, so before you start a diet, ask yourself these 3 questions.


Question number one is "are you prepared to maintain your diet during social situations?" This is usually when people let their guard down and follow the crowd. However, if you are serious about weight loss you should be able to maintain your healthy eating habits in public.  You should have enough self control so that no one else can pressure you into consuming something that is against your diet. The second question that you should ask yourself is "can you be totally honest with yourself?" A lot of people are not completely honest with themselves when dieting. For instance, say you found a diet which focuses around vegetable consumption, but you know that you hate vegetables. You know yourself and you are thinking deep down inside that this isn't really going to work, yet you still decide to go through with it. What you just did by accepting that diet is you set yourself up for failure. Being honest with yourself from the start is the key to success. If you know you can't handle something, find something different that will work to fit your needs better.


And the third question to ask yourself is "are you willing to change your kitchen?" If you wish to lose weight quickly you have to be able to make a few changes, including the food you stock in your kitchen cabinets. This means getting rid of your unhealthy snacks and anything else that your diet requires. These are just a few questions to ask yourself before starting a new diet.
