How to Choose the Right Diet?

Realistically, the best diet for you is one that you can stick to.

You aren't going to get results on any diet unless you can stick to it. It is consistency over time that will help you reach your goals - not perfect eating and not a few weeks of perfect eating. Simply put, if you can stay on track most of the time and be patient, you will get there, and are more likely to stay there.

Tracking your food intake regularly, using a macro-friendly tracking app, is one of the best ways to hold yourself accountable and ensure you are consistent. I like the Lose It App.

While a little sacrifice is needed, getting healthy, losing weight, etc. doesn't have to be painful. And you shouldn't feel forced to eat foods you just don't enjoy. Your food preferences and how certain foods make you feel is an important consideration before going on any new eating plan. If your food is making you feel tired, bloated or just plain awful, this could be a sign this diet is not a good fit.

Bottom line, if you're having a hard time trying to decide what meal plan fits you best, here are a few key things to keep in mind:

* Pick the diet that includes foods you enjoy eating

* Stick with a diet that makes you feel good, physically and mentally

* Choose the diet you can maintain the longest

* Be consistent and give yourself time to be successful, no matter what diet you choose
