You wouldn't buy a new car without taking it for a test drive. Then why commit
to a diet plan without testing it first?

Think about it.

You test-drive a car to make sure you'll enjoy a smooth, comfortable ride. And
most importantly, you want to know the car will take you to your destination.

If it doesn't, you won't buy that car. Or if you've been duped and got stuck
with a "lemon," you'll trade the car for one that works.

Then why don't we hold our diet plans to the same standards?

We've been so conditioned to suffer when we lose weight that we've come to
expect - and accept - a bumpy ride in the form of hunger, deprivation and
unappetizing food.

And how many times has your diet plan or weight loss program failed to get you
to your destination, otherwise known as your target weight?

You deserve to know if your weight loss program will work in any situation at
any time of the year.

So take your diet plan for a test drive. And if it doesn't work, don't make
excuses for it… don't beat yourself up like it's your fault… just dump it.

The hardest tests for any diet plan happen during the holidays because they're a
source of endless temptation.

Many of these holiday tests occur in social situations. Which makes sense
because other people often put intense pressure on us to cheat on our diets
