Make it a 10!

Banishing decadent delights while losing weight is a sure-fire route to feeling deprived and abandoning healthy eating efforts. Instead, go for a winning strategy—have your cake and eat it too. When contemplating non-nutritious temptations, take one bite and rate it from one to ten, as if you were a judge in a food contest. Finish it only if it scores a ten out of ten. Just think of how many just average desserts you’ve eaten and regretted. When the plan is to lose weight, limit your tens to two a week, maximum.
