First off, Happy New Year! As you start 2013 and head off to tackle your goals, here are a few tips to keep in mind.
We understand that everybody wants to jump right into the swing of things, get right to their goal weight or immediately eat the ‘perfect balance’ of food. For better or worse, dietary goals can not be effectively achieved overnight. Quick weight loss or drastic changes are VERY rarely sustained over an extended period. In order to make lasting changes, you should have an ultimate, long-term goal that is divided into smaller, achievable goals spread out over an extended period of time. For example, if you do not regularly eat vegetables, start by picking one meal per day that will include a vegetable. If your goal is weight loss, you should not be losing more than 1-2% of your body weight on a weekly basis.
Dietary changes are very manageable if you lay the groundwork for success. It requires a little bit of planning and will most likely be somewhat of a challenge, but if you take the proper steps you set a much higher chance of realizing these goals.

Very recent research from Boston has shown that multivitamins do not play a role in preventing heart disease. So does this mean that they have no benefit to our health? Have we been wasting our money?
