NEW YEAR’S DIET RESOLUTIONS DON’T WORK!
By Meena Puri
Every New Year, most of us resolve to better our health, and a better diet is at the top of those resolutions. Everyone claims to have the perfect diet for you! Bombarded with the enticing ads, their promises, and compelling testimonials, we resolve to buy into at least one of them. We are all gung-ho at the beginning of the year with the new diet, but the results fall short of what we anticipated or expected. A few weeks or even just days into the new diet our energy wanes, our willpower fades away and before we know it, we fall right back into our old habits of eating and blaming ourselves for not being disciplined enough to follow through. Getting stuck in the self-sabotaging patterns, we quickly begin to look outside again for something that will keep us inspired, give us quick results and most importantly would be easy. Is that too much to ask?
