I read an older article today by a former Navy SEAL that encourages you to set a New Year's
goal instead of stating a New Year's resolution. A resolution is a course of action determined or decided on. A goal is defined as the purpose toward which an endeavor is directed (an objective). Without an ultimate purpose, resolutions fall flat and are quickly forgotten. For example, don't just resolve to quit smoking. Set a goal of improving your cardiovascular performance by 20% and let quitting smoking be one of the strategies to help you accomplish it.
It may seem like a matter of semantics, but it is a big difference. Breaking a habit is hard, so you need to tie it to achieving a measurable improvement in your quality of life. It takes the emphasis off the pain of change and shifts it to the benefits of change!
Good luck and have a great New Year!

Although I don't think you can use fasting as a diet or weight loss program, I do feel that it can be a great start to a proper weight loss diet and exercise program. I think it is definitely something that everyone should do at least once a year.
