2. Remind yourself of why you are choosing to eat this way. How does following this diet fit into your highest lifetime values? To value something means to take action to achieve it.

In short, this isn't a diet, it's a belief system. For me, It's about health and longevity, not about diet and weight-loss. I don't get discouraged and go 'off plan', because there is no 'plan'. If you go into my kitchen, you find fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables, dried and canned beans, canned tomatoes, potatoes, whole grains and spices. When I get hungry, that's what I eat. If I want a snack, that's what I eat. I think most difficulties come when people try to live in two worlds. McDougall one day, SAD the next. For me, the world of SAD has ceased to exist. For me, there is no 'just a taste'. I don't eat animal products and I don't eat free oils. Period. If someone what's to debate me - fine. My reasons are both moral and scientific and absolutely unshakable.

According to research in Positive Psychology positive habits and personal satisfaction that comes from it are greater predictor of success than anything else.
