If we give in to a guilty pleasure, we go for a bag of chips in front of the television in the evening. Second favorite is a glass of wine with dinner and a can of soft drink ends in third place.
“Fortunately, you don't have to deny yourself everything to keep your New Year's resolutions. It is important to look at an approach that suits your lifestyle”, explains Olivier De Greve, CEO of WW Benelux. “We recommend a combination of healthy food, exercise and a positive mindset. The mijnWW program provides advice, recipes and challenges in these three areas. There is also room for guilty pleasures. It is important that you do not get the feeling that you have to give up everything. A healthy lifestyle in combination with a glass of wine or a bag of chips? That is perfectly possible!”
The survey was conducted among 1,000 Dutch people between the ages of 18 and 79.
