For the new year people like to make resolutions and focus on goals and achievements that want to accomplish. Often diet and exercise top the list. However, you might want to approach
your goals with the entire year in mind -- and not try to get everything done in the first month or two. Elizabeth Stirling, a Santa Fe
psychologist specializing in change, toldFox News that, "It's about small changes. Don't say on Jan. 1, 'I'm going to lose 50 pounds, get a new job, a new fiance.' Take small steps. And don't expect to get it done in January." York Daily Record columnist Lynne Funk hopes the low-carb diet will fade out in 2005. "I think the low-carb/no-carb diet is on its way out. Thank You! Please keep it away. Carbohydrates are a natural part of a diet and, like most things, eaten in moderation are good for you. Eat a piece of wheat bread. A sun-dried tomato bagel" The end of the low-carb diet might be a good thing. Medical News Todayreports that a recent Epidemiology article found that children eating more dairy, vegetables and fruits had lower blood pressure.
