New Year's resolutions to change your appearance can be unhealthy - don't fall into these common traps
Briefly

"Setting ludicrous weight loss goals is a major no-no. While people can initially shed a few pounds on a new diet, this flab-fighting offensive plateaus over time. People feel discouraged and often give up when their New Year's resolution is unattainable—for example, losing 20 pounds in a month."
"Instead of harmful yo-yo dieting, people should focus on shedding one to two pounds a week, which is significant and also sustainable in the long term. Gradual measures are key, such as eliminating soda and incorporating more exercise at least five days a week."
