Preparation
This is the most effective way to resist temptation. It is also the most difficult, but there is a reason why meal prep is becoming more popular than ever. Preparing your meals ahead of time takes out the guess work when it’s time for food and eliminates the option for something much less diet friendly.

When your meals are prepared, you are not relying on your will (which is short lived) to get you to your goals. It does the hard part for you; you are reprogramming your brain to not make food choices out of convenience and that automatically cuts out a lot of processed foods. It is important to also make sure you prepare the right foods in the right amount. Whole foods keep you fuller longer which ties into the next most important factor in resisting temptation.
