about dieting to lose weight
This free general knowledge quiz will give you some answers and some new ideas about your personal weight. Answers to Quiz Add up how many points you get for each answer: 1. Are you happy to lose an average of 1.5-2 pounds per week?
(a) 3 points (b) 2 points (c) 1 point Impatience is a diet-killer. Besides, it takes time to learn some good eating habits. These are two good reasons why being happy with some steady weight loss will give you a definite edge. 2. Are you easily distracted by commercials or friends who tell you about "quick" ways to lose weight?
(a) 3 points (b) 2 points (c) 1 point Being distracted by the hope of a quick-fix will play havoc with your motivation, especially if weight loss slows. Truth is, there are no quick-fixes. 3. Are you aiming for a specific weight?
(a) 1 point (b) 2 points (c) 3 points Always aim for a specific target weight. For example, if you are 200 pounds and aim to lose "about 50 pounds", then set 190 pounds as your first target. (Then 180, 170 etc.) 04. Before dieting, do you take measurements of your chest, waist, hips, arms and thighs?
(a) 3 points (b) 2 points (c) 1 point Always take your measurements before you start dieting. Because if one week you lose no weight, you may still lose inches - which gives you another chance of achieving some success. And being successful helps to maintain our motivation. 5. Being realistic, how likely are you to achieve your weight loss goal?
(a) 1 point (b) 1 point (c) 3 points (d) 1 point (e) 1 point Only one answer here. If you have incentive and support, everything becomes easier. 6. Do you have a good personal incentive to lose weight?
(a) 3 points (b) 2 points (c) 1 points A good personal incentive (the more selfish the better) gives you a huge advantage. 7. Do you expect to have "bad weeks"?
(a) 3 points (b) 2 points (c) 1 point All dieters (without exception) have bad weeks. Expecting them makes it easier to plan what to do when they happen. If you think everything is going to go smoothly, the shock of a bad week can cause meltdown! 8. Have you got a specific plan for when you have a "bad week"?
(a) 1 point (b) 2 points (c) 3 points Having an "Emergency Plan" for what to do when you have a "bad weekend" or a "bad week" gives you a real advantage. It gives you a great feeling of staying in control, helps you forget the disaster and allows you to get back on track. Most dieters have no plan, so after a disaster they sit around feeling depressed and helpless. Return To Weight Loss Quiz 9. How important is breakfast to you?

(a) 1 point (b) 2 points (c) 3 points Along with hunger, guilt-after-binging is a huge diet-killer. Eat whatever you like, just DON'T feel guilty. It's the guilt (not the initial binge) that does the damage. 12. How do you feel when you start a new diet program?
(a) 3 points (b) 1 point (c) 1 point

(a) 3 points (b) 2 points (c) 1 point Trying to be perfect inevitably leads to huge disappointment when things go wrong. Better to accept you are human from the start, as this reduces disappointment and lets you bounce back more easily. 14. When dieting, how often do you weigh yourself?
(a) 1 point (b) 2 points (c) 3 points Don't waste nervous energy watching the scales. Daily weighing encourages a short-term attitude to weight loss which (in my experience) is a recipe for disaster. 15. When dieting how long do you go without eating something?
(a) 3 points (b) 2 points (c) 1 point The longer you go without food, the greater the risk of hunger, cravings and mood swings. Remember, hunger kills diets! 16. How do you feel when you start a new diet program?
(a) 3 points (b) 1 point (c) 1 point Don't waste effort trying to be perfect. Instead, expect to make mistakes then learn from them. We learn from our mistakes, not our successes! 17. What do you do when you feel hungry after eating your daily food allowance?
(a) 1 point (b) 3 points (c) 1 points Weight loss success is all about avoiding hunger. 18. Which statement do you most agree with?

(a) 1 point (b) 2 points (c) 3 points Food is not your enemy, hunger is. People who fall into temptation aren't those with a full stomach, they are the people who let themselves go hungry. If necessary, eat too much rather than too little. Remember, hunger kills diets! 20. Why are you trying to lose weight?
(a) 1 point (b) 1 point (c) 3 points (d) 1 point (e) 1 point Only one correct answer here. Incentive is crucial. Now Find Out Your Results
