The first 10 steps to losing weight

8. Keep your diet simple

If you follow a diet that is too complicated or requires you to make too much effort keeping track of what you eat, your chances of losing weight and keeping it off are limited, according to research at Indiana University (IU).

“For people on a more complex diet that involves keeping track of quantities and items eaten, their subjective impression of the difficulty of the diet can lead them to give up on it,” reports Peter Todd, a professor in IU’s Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences.

Todd’s study shows that following simpler weight-loss guidelines improves your chances of losing weight successfully.
