Are you a Monday morning dieter?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Monday morning wake up calls are hard enough to deal with - you’re on a diet too?
Makes sense that after a big weekend of throwing calorie caution to the wind and eating and drinking whatever you want that nearly half of us choose to start a new diet on Mondays.
According to a recent study conducted by Brian Wansink, PhD, Director of Cornell University’s Food and Brand Lab 46% of people surveyed said their last attempt to launch a weight-loss plan started on a Monday morning.
So, how long do these good diet intentions last?
For 31 percent of people, the miserable experience is over by Tuesday evening.
Do we try to change too much too fast? What’s the problem here?
