Answers to this free general knowledge 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.)
4. 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.

8. Have you got a specific plan for when you have a bad weeks?
(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.
9. How important is breakfast to you? Surveys always show that dieters who miss breakfast lose less weight. 10. How willing are you to make time for exercise? Exercise is crucial for many reasons. Above all, it improves our feelgood factor. 11. How do you feel after (say) a disastrous weekend of overeating? Along with hunger, guilt-after-binging is a huge diet-killer.
