8 Ways to Improve Diet Adherence
1. It should fit your dietary preferences
Don’t make dieting harder than it needs to be. By eating the foods you enjoy, you’ll find sticking to the diet easier.
2. Get real with your expectations
In this study, over 50% of participants who had unrealistic expectations of their goals dropped out within a year of starting their diet.
3. Set up your environment for success
Simple solution: don’t keep tasty, energy-dense foods in the house. If you’re serious about your goals this is the simplest thing you can do to set yourself up for success.
4. Track your progress
Weigh yourself every morning. Take bi-weekly or monthly progress photos Take body measurements Keep a training log so you can see your strength increasing Use a pedometer (like a Fitbit or a simple steps app on your phone) to track your activity. In one study, overweight women who used pedometers lost six times more weight than women who didn’t use pedometers. (This doesn’t mean buying a pedometer will magically make you lose weight. They help because they allow you to measure your current actions and then realign or adjust them so they’re more conducive to your end goal.)
5. Identify your hunger window
Eating more when hunger is high and eating less (or not eating) when hunger is low or nonexistent is a simple way to stay on top of your calorie intake.
6. Sleep
Not only do sleep-deprived individuals crave more food, the types of food they crave tend to be the high-calorie sort.
7. Set a moderate calorie deficit
Yes, I know, you want to be lean like yesterday. Unfortunately, you can’t force fat loss, and the more aggressive the deficit, the harder it becomes to stick to your diet.
8. Focus on your weekly calorie intake
Have you ever had one bad day of eating then decided everything is ruined and instead of getting back on track, you keep eating like an asshole until Monday comes around where you start the cycle all over again?
Well, this strategy will help you stop doing that.
There is a lot more to each of these at the link, I didn't want this post to be any longer so I only put a small part of each.

How does one eat like an asshole? Do assholes eat? Personally I’ve overeaten but I don’t think I’ve truly eaten like an asshole. 😁

Good info, and I agree. It's easier to eat when tired rather than exercise. High cal junk food does nothing but creates more want. Protein-rich and fiber-rich cals + water increase help everything from hunger-satisfying to better compliance, and foods that one loves is far more important than a hateful regimen either in taste or ability. Lifestyle change. Makin' it healthy. What you love to eat may not even come close to mine, etc., but that's normal. Great job!

You're welcome everyone! And yes Claire. Since I no longer do IF, I have incorporated high fiber, low fat, and high protein options. It really helps with the feeling of staying full.
