Whether you chose one of these, a different dietary change or just kept your  eating as is, my goal for you this year is to learn from your  resolutions \u2013 what felt good in your body and what felt too rigid. Did  you enjoy cutting back on meat because of the impact it has on the environment or your mental load? Maybe eating keto allowed you to focus  more on cooking at home or meal preparation. Take a step back and  reflect. Instead of a resolution in January, can you resolve to reassess your relationship with eating and food every few weeks or at the start of every month this year?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some ideas for monthly check-ins that take a more positive spin on  the resolution \u2013 resolve to continually improve your eating habits and  create more peace with your relationship with food and eating!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Eat more plants <\/strong>\u2013 whether you\u2019re vegetarian or not, it is always good for your health to add in more fruits, veggies and whole grains. This means having a snack at your desk that incorporates whole grains,  like popcorn and having something stashed in the nearby fridge that can  solve that produce fix \u2013 hummus and veggies are a great staple to keep  handy.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Meditate \u2013 <\/strong>reserve a private conference room or a quiet area in the office and take  some time to yourself every day. 5 minutes, 1 hour, whatever you need. Meditation apps are great, but any quiet time to yourself with your eyes  closed and something comforting by your side will do the trick.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Move More, Sit Less \u2013 <\/strong>getting  out of your chair and move around! The American Heart Association  states that 20 minutes per day of walking can reduce health risks for  heart disease. What  does this look like for your day job? Get up at least 2 times in the  morning and 2 times in the afternoon. Walk to the bathroom, the printer  or over to a coworker that you were going to email and have a  conversation instead. Better yet \u2013 see if you can make any of your  meetings walking or standing meetings. If you don\u2019t need your computer,  walking and talking gets those steps in and gets you moving more than  sitting. And lastly, ask about a standing desk option \u2013 more offices are  offering this these days, so can\u2019t hurt to ask if that\u2019s a possibility for you!&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Eat or drink something every day that you love \u2013 <\/strong>and stop what you\u2019re doing (texting, typing, chatting) to really savor and enjoy. A glass of wine, a small bowl of ice cream or a hearty avocado  toast \u2013 whatever floats your boat! Schedule a 3PM break in your calendar and step away from your desk.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Take a break from the diet cycle \u2013 <\/strong>spend full days eating whatever you want and being ok with it. Finding the balance between what you want and what you need may surprise you.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2019 is in full effect, and whether the New Year\u2019s resolution diet is still going strong or you\u2019ve long ditched the new dietary pattern, there is always something to learn from trying a change to lifestyle or habits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":69275,"featured_media":52468,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3246,3212,3065],"tags":[3135,2993,3134],"class_list":["post-52467","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-healthy-habits","category-nutritionists-corner","category-nutritionist-tips-with-alicia-blittner","tag-diet","tag-keto","tag-resolutions"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.freshdirect.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52467","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.freshdirect.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.freshdirect.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.freshdirect.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/69275"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.freshdirect.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52467"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.freshdirect.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52467\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":52499,"href":"https:\/\/www.freshdirect.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52467\/revisions\/52499"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.freshdirect.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52468"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.freshdirect.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52467"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.freshdirect.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52467"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.freshdirect.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52467"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
