Hands up if you made a new years’ resolution involving diet and exercise?
*raises hands.*

Hands up if those resolutions completely disintegrated within the first 15 days?
*raises hands and hides face*

I’ve come to realize that all these so-called resolutions and goals never really work out in the long run and the reason they don’t is because I approach them as if they are projects to be completed, as opposed to a lifestyle!
In order to successfully achieve my goal, I’ve learnt that I need to incorporate the little changes daily into my daily routines, so gone are the get-fit-quick Hollywood diet and work out fads! So far, I’ve tried:

• The Lighter Life Plan: A diet which solely consists of drinking nutrition shakes/bars for a minimum of three months. Under no circumstances are you allowed to eat “non-plan” solid food. I lasted 7 days and lost a total of 10 lbs, however I passed out on the last day. X_X 
• The Waterfall Diet: As the name suggests, the diet consists of drinking a LOT of water- more than what i’m sure is the suggested daily amount. Lasted 3 days, then read in the Daily Mail that drinking vast amounts of water within a short time can kill you as it drowns your brain or something…(something like that anyway, LOL)
• The Master Cleanse: Waste of time and money, tastes like expired cabbage and has absolutely no nutrition whatsoever. Lasted a day. Lbs lost: none. 
• The ‘No Carb’ Diet: Was pointless from the get go. Considering that i’m African and the majority of our food consists of carbs and meat, that was NEVER going to be successful, I love my carbs too much LOL! That last about 3 hours.
