You also have other activities or hobbies that you enjoy outside of food, so keep your environment clean so as to enjoy it to the brim.

Purchase necessary foods and products 


     If your diet plan suggests focusing on certain types of food (like lean protein or 100% whole grain) or certain products (like protein shakes or bars), then take a trip to the grocery shop to stock up on those items. When your kitchen is full of your new diet, you'll be less tempted to stray from new plan.
