"New Year, new me," is a cliche, and yet, each year we set New Year's resolutions. Recent research says that most of us elect to make New Year’s resolutions each year, like exercising more or eating better, even if the resolution may not last past January.
According to a new survey from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine/Morning Consult, nearly half of all adults in the U.S. will start a new diet as part of their New Year’s resolutions.
The findings indicate that the diets the study participants wanted to start included a plant-based diet, the keto diet, and counting calories. Whatever the reason these participants wanted to start a new diet, whether it be for weight loss or overall health, the survey found that less than 10 percent of participants selected the diet with a proven track record for weight stability and health.
