1. Don't diet alone:

"I've recruited my husband to follow the Fat Flush Plan with me. Together we can encourage one another, prepare foods that we can both eat and set an example for the kids on healthy eating and teamwork." --iVillager Patty

2. Find support online:

"Visit the Fat Flush message board. The support is wonderful and there's a great group of caring people. Plus you can always find great recipes!" --iVillager Laurie

3. Clean out your cupboards:

"The first few days are the hardest, when you feel withdrawal from your usual foods and routine. I've found that the best thing to do is throw everything out that you can't have on the plan. If it's not there, you won't eat it." --iVillager Melanie

4. Get organized:

"I cannot stress how much being organized has helped me! Measure out your daily ingredients ahead and store them." --iVillager Joan

5. Plan your meals:

"I find that if I lay out all the foods allowed per day in the refrigerator, I am less likely to cheat. I can see there are food choices for me if I'm hungry and I will be less likely to choose something that is not on Fat Flush. It also looks like quite a bit of food, so I don't feel deprived." --iVillager Sunny
