Many individuals set weight loss as a New Year's resolution due to decreased energy, heavier movements, and potential health concerns. Resolutions often fail not from lack of effort, but from plans that don't align with daily life's demands and stress. Sustainable weight loss involves integrating small, manageable changes into existing routines, such as cooking more meals at home or taking short walks, rather than drastic lifestyle overhauls. Regular meals, rather than skipping them, help maintain energy and appetite, with many Indian family foods already supporting weight management.
