Struggling to lose weight?


Do this quiz to find out if you've got what it takes to achieve permanent weight loss.


1. Once you've lost the weight, you plan to:
Be vigilant about what you eat.

Forget the diet until you need to shed a few kilos again.

Stick with it. This isn't a diet, it's a long-term healthy eating plan.

2. When you're on a diet you:
Still eat out every now and then.

Stick to it religiously. Even if that means saying no to social gatherings.

Treat yourself to something yummy when you've managed to stick to it for a while ? you deserve it!

3. To you, the best diet is one that:
Gets results as quickly as possible.

Is made up of pre-prepared meals, so you're certain you're eating the right thing.

Helps you lose weight slowly but also helps you keep it off.

4. You're so busy, you have little time to exercise or prepare food. You:
Ditch the diet and exercise plan. You'll start again later.

Get up an hour earlier so you can exercise and prepare the food you need for the day.

Don't worry about it too much. You'll fit in what you can, when you can, and know that it won't affect the larger scheme of things.

5. In your opinion, your ideal weight is:
A size 10. Just like you were before.

A healthy weight that makes you feel energised and lowers your risk of conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure.

You know it's unrealistic, but you'd really like to be model-thin.

6. You think that exercise is:
As important as a healthy eating plan when it comes to losing weight.

Unnecessary. Changing your diet should be enough to meet the weight-loss goals you have.

Quite important. When you start your diet, you'll try to increase the amount of exercise you .
7. The honest reason you want to lose weight is because:
There's an event coming up and you want to look fabulous.

You think you'll be more attractive to your partner.

You want to feel better about yourself and have more energy.

8. Your last attempt to lose weight was:
Disastrous. You only stuck with it for a few days before it became too hard to maintain.

A learning experience. Parts of it worked, parts of it didn't.

A success. Even though you've since put the weight back on, it worked at the time.
