To lose weight, you have to make a plan that you will stick to. If you are too strict with yourself, you may feel like giving up in a month or so. Hence, it is better to have a flexible plan. Allow yourself a couple of cheat days. This will keep the feeling of deprivation away. But on other days, be sure to stick to your weight loss diet. This will ensure that you lose weight without feeling that it is an effort.
