We are two months into the new year, and if you made a New Year's resolution to eat healthier and lose weight, now might be a good time to check on your progress. If you find that you have fallen back on old habits, don't be alarmed. About 45 million people in the United States go on a diet each year, with weight loss being the primary goal.
