Have you set a new years resolution?
Julie Slack is a dietician with the Northwestern Health Unit, and says that weight loss is a main resolution that people strive for.
However she says that many people fail because they set the bar too high, and eventually give up.
Slack says some things to consider when setting new years resolutions, especially regarding healthy living and weight loss are:
– find a friend or partner to join in, that way it will help with motivation
– when developing an exercise routine, start small and gradually work your way up
– find out where you can cut back, such as using milk instead of cream in your coffee
– reward yourself for hard work, such as completing a 5k run or walk
