- Most Americans fail to follow through on their goals, and 80% of people drop their resolutions by the middle of February.
- INSIDER recently surveyed more than 1,000 people about their upcoming New Year's resolutions, and some respondents said they are interested in trying a new diet.
- Take a look at the most popular diets that wealthy people are interested in trying next year.
Some of the most popular New Year's resolutions are vague goals, such as losing weight or eating healthier food.
It takes a lot more than good intentions to maintain these resolutions, though, and most people don't follow through in part because the goals are non-specific. Some statistics say as many as 80% of people fail to stick to their resolution for more than six weeks.
For those interested in trying a new diet next year, recent research suggests that you're better off cutting back on sugar instead of fat. According to a major analysis published in August 2017, sugar consumption is more strongly linked to heart disease and death than fat consumption.
Many experts also say eating "real food," or nothing overly processed, is a simple but effective approach.
INSIDER, a sister publication of Business Insider, recently surveyed more than 1,000 people about their New Year's resolutions. Of the survey sample's wealthy respondents - defined in this case as people who make at least $100,000 per year - 87 people said their 2019 resolution is related to dieting or eating healthier.
