The 3 Diet Approach Types.
Easy Louise (or Louis)
Middle-Of-The-Road Marge (or Mark)
Hard-Core Harry (or Haley)
Easy Louise (or Louis)takes her time searching for, reading and putting new information into action. She may be more methodical, and yes, slower at the task, however, Easy Louise has an advantage in that she will most likely decide to do something that she'll stick with for quite some time. She's also looking for very specific information that seems to "speak to her" or that she "connects" with. The disadvantage is that Easy Louise may enjoy the "new" diet or weight loss information a lot more than actually doing those things. She may enjoy sharing the knowledge she's gained, but have little in the way of motivation to get going on it right away. Slower to decide, more methodical, enjoys the information, not easily swayed to act on it and loves to share her new ideas and information with others.
Middle-of-the-Road Marge (or Mark) LOVES to gain new knowledge about the latest diets, who's doing them, how much weight they've lost and likes to know the results. Marge is going to get excited if she is convinced "it's worked for others so it's got to work for me". Marge is probably going to scan things, sift faster, decide faster, act faster, but she's also a bit more impulsive and may decide to "reward" herself a lot more often than Easy Louise. In fact, Marge is so great at "rewarding" herself that she ends up a bit frustrated after starting a new weight loss program when she notices that it's come to a halt. "This diet isn't really working now" she may decide and try something else that catches her eye on the front page of a magazine at the grocery store. A tad more flighty, but quicker to decide, act and actually see some results early on is Middle-of-the-Road Marge's mode of operation. The interesting facet to this type is that they exhibit a pretty equal amount of the other two qualities from time to time, as if they can "become" a hard core Harry for a few weeks or slip into "chill" mode like Easy Louise, but they always come back to center. If you're this type, you are usually talking about the "new diet" you're on that someone famous (celebrity or personality) has just had great success with.
Hard-Core Harry (or Haley) is right to the point. They are usually too busy with other things to read a lot about how to lose weight or burn fat, but they'll pick up the "important parts" as quickly as they can and put them into action faster and at a more strenuous pace than anyone. These are the "cold-turkey" types, who just know a good diet when they see one. It's go, go, go with Hard-Core Harry, and that's a huge advantage over the others to see big results, fast. The disadvantage is that Harry is also the same with his food. He is more likely to break his diet in a pinch for something to eat and when he does he'll justify it with "well, I'm already breaking it, might as well have the chocolate cake and a few beers too--BARTENDER!" If you take this extreme level of doing things out far enough you'll see how difficult it is for Harry to lose significant weight in the long-term. Short-term, yes, they will be the most successful early in the race, but ten years down the road, they look exactly the same or just a bit heavier than when they started that first diet they "knew was a good one".
Now, decide which one is you. Yes, you will identify with aspects of all three, but which would your closest friend, lover, parent say you are most of the time? Whether you like where you fall or not, use it to help you now set your Goals.

Goals for the 3 Diet Approach Types.
Easy Louise (or Louis):
If you identify most with this type, make sure you push yourself just a little when you decide what your first goal is. Because you'll have a tendency to give yourself and easy target, do a little more than is comfortable or natural and you'll not only lose weight sooner, but you'll grow in the process. As an example, if you're used to having "dessert" every night in one form or another, a typical Easy Louise goal would be to cut back to five nights a week. A better goal is to enjoy three and a half "desserts" per week. What's a half? Well, if you have a big scoop of ice cream or similar, just cut it in half, eat one side and leave the other side there to melt. What Easy Louise does NOT want to do is try to be Hard-Core Harry all of a sudden, doesn't work. Do what you KNOW you can do, then do more once you've been successful for a while. Sound easy enough?
Middle-of-the-Road Marge (or Mark):
If this is you, you're going to set your goals while being aware of your tendency to be one of the other two. Instead of swinging in either direction, easy or hard-core, set the first goal that comes to mind, then adjust it a bit to make you slightly uncomfortable. For example, if you drink a six-pack of soda every week and like to have a few (3) "desserts" as well, slim back on a little more than half. You might naturally want to cut back just a little or way too much, but a little more than half is going to set you up with a nice, but simple and easy challenge for the next few weeks. You'll end up enjoying two to three sodas and one "dessert" per week. Easily doable, no "cold-turkey" on the sugar intake and you won't have any cravings.
Hard-Core Harry (or Haley):
If you're this type, you're probably going to set a massive goal for yourself, like no more sweets or sugar drinks of any kind... until. This will work well for the first couple weeks, then you'll get too busy to "remember" and pretty soon? Back where you started. This time, why not do what's uncomfortable for the "cold-turkey" type. Instead of going sugar-free and becoming a marathon runner overnight, do what would be really hard-core, set a goal you know you can reach and keep reaching for six months straight with few slip ups. Use that hard-core energy to sustain the more easily attainable goals you set instead of expending it on really high targets. Be aware of your desire to do it all, hard, fast and burn out. For the Hard-Core type, the best example is the amount you eat, not what you eat. The first goal for you would be to start slimming back on your portions of everything: regular meals, all sugar-filled drinks and "desserts" and snacks. In other words, if you just have to race through a sandwich shop for lunch, get the smaller sandwich and eat half the chips you might normally eat. Don't worry, you'll enjoy more (chips) tomorrow, so you're not quitting anything up front or for good.
