The new year can create a lot of angst in those who want to make a change in their life. How might someone set up smart, sustainable goals? By doing your homework, listening to your body and honoring your preferences.

From the ketogenic diet to essential oils, intuitive eating and goal setting--- our registered dietician Megan Meyer led us through the trends of 2019 that made us say kale no and what she hopes romaine for 2020.

Looking to keep those resolutions you made? Remember, change doesn't happen overnight. Success at anything is the result of time, practice and the development of good habits. Maybe you'll add a fruit to go with your dinner like Megan suggested. Maybe you'll attend a grocery store tour or Cooking Demo led by Health Promotion. Maybe you'll cook more at home rather than eat out. Whatever your goal-- it's the small habits that will set the tone for your month, for your year.
