A New Year, a New Start

Are you making a healthy resolution for 2010? Here’s how to stick with your plan all year long.

Your Resolution:
Lose Weight. Keep it up:
Write down in a food diary what you eat, how much, where, when, with whom and your mood at the time. Research suggests that the more often overweight people wrote in a food diary, the more weight they lost.
Your Resolution:
Reduce Stress. Keep it up:
Recharge with seven to eight hours of sleep a night. This improves mood and helps you think clearly and creatively.
Your Resolution:
Mange Time. Keep it up:
Make to-do lists and rank items in order of importance. Tackle high-priority items first. Don’t push back exercise; make it an appointment on your calendar.

For a Healthier Diet Schedule a nutritional Tune-up with a registered dietitian to help you reach your 2010 diet goals. Call (248) 477-6100.
