#1 Diet Tip (plus the Top 10 Tips for Faster Results)

Last night I wanted to devour a bag of chocolate covered almonds so bad…

… you see, it was another cold, wet, dark night at home, perfect for binge eating comfort foods. Plus, it was my last night before a 3-week work trip to Denver, Florida, and Denver again. I was feeling a little sorry for myself…

I would have loved to eat a box of my favorite junk food.

But I promised you that I would go through the next 30 days as your coach and transformation buddy… so there was no way I was giving in.

That’s the power of being accountable to the 200,000 people that receive my email newsletters!

Of course, you only need to be accountable to 1 person for accountability to make a HUGE difference in your results.

And that’s the truth. Accountability is the #1 secret for sticking to your diet. And here are 10 more tips for staying on track to success for EVERYTHING in life.

11. Never Give Up

If you fall off the wagon, cut your losses. Don’t let it weigh on your mind and hold you back because it’s only minor damage that can be dealt with. The important thing is to get back on track, immediately. Never, ever, EVER give up. I believe in you.

10. Don’t Procrastinate

Do it now. Whether you’re thinking of cleaning out the pantry or finally starting to exercise, STOP procrastinating and DO IT now!

9. Identify Exactly What It Is You Want…

…then don’t let anything stand in your way of getting it. By setting specific goals along with deadlines you are providing yourself with a measuring stick.

8. Do Your Best With Everything You Have Control Over

Most people fail to control themselves, and end up only with regrets. We trade minutes of pleasure (i.e. fast food) for days, weeks, months, and years of regret.

Remember that the pleasure of eating lasts for only minutes, but you inhabit your body 24 hours per day, 7 days per week for life.

Rather than trying to “out-cardio” your bad diet, you must PLAN ahead to overcome obstacles. Otherwise, you’ll never succeed.

7. Replace Bad Habits

Everyday you will be tempted to fall back on old bad habits. To make a lasting change in your health and appearance you must do everything you can to resist that. Try adding a new healthy habit each day to replace an old unhealthy habit.

6. Be Consistent With Baby Steps

The best approach is to build your life one positive step at a time and the way to do this is by taking baby steps to improvement each and every single day. Be a little better than yesterday.

5. Test

There are no failures, only good and bad tests.

You should always be trying something new, monitoring your body’s response, and deciding whether or not that food or exercise belongs in your “tool box.” Do everything you can to learn more about your body. The more you know, the faster your success will be.

4. Accountability, Social Support & Role Modeling

You must hold yourself accountable to others. That’s the power of putting out your goals to our Private Transformation Coaching Program group, or simply sharing them with a positive person that you can trust and that loves you and wants to see you succeed.

I’m grateful that I have over 200,000 readers on my email list that I can’t let down. I’ve made a promise to you during this month, and I’m going to keep it – and help you keep the promise you made to yourself.

That’s the power of positive people – and yes, they do exist!

As one of my mentors once said to me, “You Can’t Soar Like An Eagle When You Hang Out With Turkeys.”

By hanging around others who want to lose weight, you can leverage their knowledge, commitment, support, and success to push yourself harder than you otherwise would be able to.

3. Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone

People will do almost anything to stay in their comfort zones.

If you want to accomplish anything, get out of your comfort zone and strive to increase order and discipline in your life.

Discipline means doing the opposite of what you feel like doing. Setting goals and deadlines are the easy roads to discipline.

2. Plan

Planning is the ultimate key to fat loss success.

With a weekly plan of meals and workouts in place, you will be much less likely to hit a road bump that takes you down the wrong path.

Try setting aside one day a week to map out your weekly itinerary and you’ll be amazed at how quickly your body transforms itself.

Planning is one of my 5 Pillars of Transformation Success.

1. Realize YOU Are In Charge of Your Success

At the end of the day, whether or not I break my promise comes down to me and me alone.

(Of course, I won’t let you down!)

But personal responsibility is the KEY to our success.

You must take all of these tips and apply them so that you stay strong and get stronger as time goes on.

Always remember this quote…

Og Mandino once said, “I shall shape my future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man’s doing but my own. I am the force; I can clear any obstacle before me. Or I can be lost in the maze. My choice. My responsibility. Win or lose; only I hold the key to my destiny.”

Translation – Everyone can succeed and reach their goals. It’s a just a matter of how badly you want it.
