Realistic Resolutions

ADA Tips



Consider these realistic resolutions to learn how you can succeed in 2008 and beyond.

* Start by assessing your food choices and lifestyle. Keep track of what you eat and drink so you can identify behaviors you would like to change.
* Set achievable goals. Divide big and vague goals like “I will eat better” into smaller, more specific goals like “I will eat one more piece of fruit per day.”
* Be patient and don’t give up if you don’t see a huge difference right away. Make small changes over time. If you get off track, pick up where you left off and start again.
* Seek help from a qualified health professional. A registered dietitian is your best source of reliable and up-to-date food and nutrition information.
* Reward yourself. Change is hard work and you deserve a pat on the back. In the end, feeling good and enjoying the best possible health will always be your best reward.

For more information on a healthful lifestyle, consult a registered dietitian.
