Check out 15 diet mantras for the new year.
The “end of the year” is already here, along with the New Year’s vows, hoping to break up sooner or later. Is it possible that your diet resolutions during the new year will work for you? Surprisingly, the answer is a resounding yes.
With the right approach to diet, it is possible to make it a permanent part of your life. If you adopt the following tips, you are likely to make your diet a lifelong partner.
The word “diet” actually comes from an ancient Greek word meaning “a way of life.” It refers to the overall sum of the food consumed by a person. Although the term has been used by the weight loss industry, it has nothing to do with weight loss / gain. It literally means a way of life. If you take an “active” and “off” diet, you won’t benefit in the long run.
The first and most important way to maintain a diet is to redefine it. It has to be something that can be done and lived. Only in this way can it be maintained. Of course, both short-term and long-term goals need to be set.
