Stop Cheating Secret #1:

Script your week.
Set aside 15 minutes on Sunday to plan out your entire week. Write down what time you need to get up each day, what you’ll eat for breakfast, when you’ll do your workout, what foods you’ll have for lunches, and dinners.
By planning ahead, you’ll know exactly what you should be doing for fat loss at every minute of the day. That way you won’t have to make snap decisions on the spot, and you won’t give into temptation.
Make a plan and stick to it and you will lose fat fast!

Stop Cheating Secret #2:

Identify – in advance – potential obstacles to your healthy eating plan… and come up with two ways to overcome each one.
For example, if you know you have meetings most of the day on Wednesday, and then a business dinner after work, you also know that you’re going to be hungry before you get a chance to eat a proper meal… and sorely tempted to hit the snack machine.
How can you overcome that obstacle? Maybe you’ll eat before the meeting. Plan ahead.

Stop Cheating Secret #3:

Shop once.
The more trips you make to the grocery store, the more chances you have to give in to the call of the pastry counter. Since you’ve already planned out your week, you’ll know exactly what to buy. Stick to your list, and buy it all in one go.

Stop Cheating Secret #4:

Prepare your food in advance.
This ties in with Secret #1. You need to set aside time once a week to plan your meals, do your shopping, and prepare as much of your food as possible. (Cut up vegetables, batch-cook chicken breasts, etc.)
Planning the entire week, scripting out the meals, doing the shopping and some of the food prep is an essential part of sticking to a diet. If you want to have great results, you have to get into that mindset.
