Cut down on sugar, lose weight, stop drinking sweet drinks or eat more vegetables: We all have New Year's resolutions, but unfortunately only very few of them are successful. Especially after the festive period with all the cookies, Christmas dinner and mulled wine - when your trousers are pinching and you feel full - many people make the resolution that everything will be different next year. But before you fail again this year, I have three tips for you: for your New Year's resolutions with guaranteed success.
Why many fail
Losing weight is the most common New Year's resolution that I hear as a dietician in nutrition consultations. Unfortunately, however, this motivation is often the first obstacle: people want to do too much at once. Minus five kilos in one month, no more carbohydrates, ban sugar from the diet: What works well at first can soon become the biggest stumbling block. For a while, we can cope well with abstinence and strict eating rules, but the day will come when the craving screams out loud: Give me that chocolate! Then not only is one bar of chocolate enough to satisfy the sweet tooth, but perhaps the whole bar will end up in your tummy. And the New Year's resolutions are history. The guilty conscience is free on top!
