THIS STORY ON THE 12 NEWS APP, IT IS JANUARY 17TH AND ACCORDING TO US NEWS AND WORLD REPORT, 80% OF PEOPLE GIVE UP ON THEIR NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS AND MOTIVATION BY MID FEBRUARY. FOR MANY, THAT RESOLUTION IS A CHANGE IN DIET. SO HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR RESOLVE? BRIAN THORNTON IS A REGISTERED DIETITIAN AT UW HEALTH IN MADISON. THANKS FOR JOINING US THIS AFTERNOON. SO LETS TRY TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION. HOW CAN PEOPLE MAKE NUTRITIONAL GOALS TO STICK BEYOND JANUARY? YEAH, YOU REALLY NEED TO FOCUS ON SOMETHING THAT YOURE READY TO CHANGE. SO IF YOU WANT TO FOCUS ON DRINKING MORE WATER, MAYBE GETTING IN SOME MORE VEGETABLES, YOU WANT TO START WITH SOMETHING THAT IS SMALL AND REALISTIC SO YOU CAN GAIN A LITTLE BIT OF CONFIDENCE MOVING INTO MAYBE SOME BIGGER CHANGES. YOURE HOPING TO MAKE. AND YOU RECOMMEND PEOPLE FOCUS ON VICTORIES THAT DONT INVOLVE A SCALE. EXPLAIN THAT FOR US. YEAH. SO A LOT OF TIMES OUR GOALS ARE FOCUSED ON WEIGHT AND WE GET REALLY FRUSTRATED WHEN THAT NUMBER ON THE SCALE DOESNT CHANGE. BUT THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER BENEFITS TO MAKING HEALTHY LIFESTYLE CHANGES. MAYBE YOU HAVE MORE ENERGY. YOURE SLEEPING BETTER, YOUR MOOD IS BETTER. YOU MIGHT HAVE LESS PAIN. SO I WOULD REALLY FOCUS ON THOSE OTHER BENEFITS THAT YOURE FINDING WHEN YOURE MAKING HEALTHY LIFESTYLE CHANGES. AND WE MENTIONED U.S. NEWS AND WORLD REPORT ITS TOP DIET FOR 2024 IS THE MEDITERRA DIET. WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? YEAH THE TOP DIET IS MEDITERRANEAN DIET SINCE 2018. SO ITS A REALLY STRONG DIET THAT FOCUSES ON FRUITS AND VEGETABLES, WHOLE GRAINS, BEANS, NUTS, LEGUMES, OLIVE OIL WHEN YOURE COOKING INCLUDES PROTEINS LIKE FISH AND SEAFOOD. JUST GETTING A VARIETY OF FOODS IN YOUR DIET. THERES REALLY NOTHING THATS OFF THE TABLE. YOU CAN STILL INCLUDE POULTRY, EGGS, CHEESE, AND YOGURT IN MODERATION. YOU CAN ENJOY RED MEAT AND SWEETS IN SPECIAL OCCASIONS, SO ITS REALLY JUST EVERYTHING IN MODERATION AND FINDING BALANCE IN YOUR DIET. AND REAL QUICKLY TALK ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE, IF YOU WILL, OF JUST ABOUT HAVING AN ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER AS WELL. I THINK THATS KEY TO MAKING LIFESTYLE CHANGES. WE OFTEN SEE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN GROUPS AND WORKING TOWARDS A COMMON GOAL ARE MUCH MORE SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE THEY CAN LEARN FROM EACH OTHER AND SUPPORT EACH OTHER, AND DOING IT ALONE. YOU YOU LOSE YOUR STEAM QUICKLY. SO I THINK THAT HAVING SOMEONE DOING IT WITH YOU, YOU JUST CONTINUE TO FEED OFF THE ENERGY OF EACH OTHER AND MAKING POSITIVE CHANGE. AND BRIAN THORNTON FROM UW HEALTH MADISON, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME HERE WI
