Some people would rather resort to surgical fat removal than embark on diets and regular workouts. A survey published on Health.com explains that 2 out of 5 people who embark on diets give up after the first seven days. Another grim statistic is that only 20% last longer than three months. It’s not a huge surprise; dieting is hard. The good news is, it’s not impossible. It mostly requires good doses of willpower and determination. Many dieters tend to lose sight of the bigger picture at times. When one fails to focus on the end goal, it becomes harder to resist the alluring sights and wonderful smells of unhealthy food.
