VOLUME ONE’S GUIDE TO SEEING YOUR NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION THROUGH

EDITORS: Kinzy Janssen & Trevor Kupfer /// WRITERS: Cheri Dostal & Kristin Frosch /// PHOTOGRAPHY: Andrea Paulseth, Leah Dunbar, Zack Gauck, & Trevor Kupfer /// DESIGN: Brian Moen

Even if you haven’t announced it publicly, you know you made an informal New Year’s resolu-

tion to yourself. And, odds are, it had to do with being healthier. Well if you’re like us (except for

the fact that every year we tell everyone about our resolutions), after a few months, weeks, or even days

you’ve already given up. Well enough is enough. This year is different because you’ve got this guide to help you see it

through. We’ve done all the work you could possibly need in terms of nutritional tips, lifestyle changes, and fitness

amenities. So put down the burger and roll off the couch, because there are no more excuses. Let’s do this thing!

For The RecordIF YOU’RE LOOKING TO GO HEALTHIER, FOOD JOURNALING HOLDS YOU TO ITBY CHERI DOSTAL

I don’t believe in diets. What weeatinthecourseofadaymatters.And,besides,therootwordof“diet”isGreekfor “manner of living.” An ideal dietisn’tashort-termprogramthatwehateand can’twait to break all of its rules.Real health and fit-ness doesn’t comein quick-fix neatpackageswithhugepromises attached(sorry). Healthcomes from con-scious living, fromeatingwellandbal-anced (I conscious-ly choose to eatchocolate to bal-anceoutallgreens,eggs, and yams).Quite simply, howweeatreflectshowwelive. Research andmyownprofession-alexperienceprovethatpeoplewhopayattention towhat andhow they eat getbetter health results than those whodon’t. Food journaling is one of thesimplestways topayattention, and it’salso proven effective by research. TheNational Weight Control Registry pub-lishes researchaboutpeoplewhohavebeensuccessful losing andmaintainingtheirnewweight.Theyfoundthat,ofallparticipantsintheirstudy,98percentofthemmodifiedtheirfoodintakeand94percentincreasedphysicalactivity.

The raw foods diet is becomingincreasinglymore common among life-style diets. All meals consist of safe,uncooked food such as fruits, vegeta-bles,nuts,andgrains.Thediet itself isfairly self-explanatory and has manyhealthbenefits. “In short, the idea behind veganrawfoodsisthefoodisnotheatedabove

Veganism is by far the strictest ofthe lifestyle diets. A vegan diet con-sistsentirelyoffoodfromplantsources.Animal products, including those fromdairy,eggs,orhoneyarenotallowed.
