New Year goals? Focus on balance, not extremes. Fad diets can do more harm than good.

Tips for success:

🥕 Eat intuitively: Cravings happen—listen to your body.
💧 Stay hydrated: Water supports digestion and portion control.
😊 Be kind to yourself: Progress > perfection. Social media isn’t real life.
🍷 Ensure you are eating plenty before drinking alcohol or using drugs.
