Pick 3 for 2017

Sometimes making one huge change is harder than making a few smaller changes and sticking to them.

​We've created a list of small lifestyle changes you can make as part of a everyday diet approach to 2017. Read On...

Our challenge to you is to:

1. ​pick 3 changes you think you can commit to long-term
2. get a friend to do the same
3. everyday text each other how many you've stuck to for that day

That's it - it's that simple!

The benefit of this approach is that you're making small long-term changes as you only pick items from the list that you're not already doing. And you're creating a support network to report in to each day to keep you focused and motivated. Plus it's a daily focus - even if you score a zero on one day, the next day you can start again.

Rather than making a number on a scale - your measurement is sticking to 3 healthy behaviour changes to create a habit.  Once you're consistently sticking to one of your habits then change it out for a new one to progressively improve to a healthy lifestyle.
