A member asked:

Should new years goals be focused primarily on diet (like most people's resolutions) or are there other health resolutions one should incorporate?

Goal Setting: Goal setting should be with realistic goals and goals that can be achieved through discipline and with a plan. There are no medical doctors that force or recommend such cultural traditions as "new year's resolutions'. That is a tradition. It is not a medical problem.
