Discussing New Year's Resolutions is so three weeks ago. However, because many resolutions are already starting to fall apart, we are dedicating this month's "He Said, She Said" section to why our resolutions tend to fail us and what we can do about it.
If you resolved to eat differently in 2014 but you are having difficulty making or sustaining change, come see us. Remember, we are here to offer you supportive and nonjudgmental guidance.
Thanks,
Jonah Soolman, Registered Dietitian / Co-Owner

She Said
Mid-January through the beginning of February is a tricky time for many of my patients. Their motivation for keeping all of their nutrition resolutions is starting to dwindle, and many people feel like they have failed in one way or another. What I often find is that many of my patients had set the bar too high in terms of nutrition goals. They expect too much from themselves and have no other option than to not meet their goals. Most of these goals are so overly ambitious that it would be very difficult for almost anyone to follow through with them.
