While resolutions to eat healthier and exercise more typically earmark the start of a new year, actor Kareena Kapoor decided to flip the script and, instead, posted a photograph of her relishing a buttery croissant — in the caption, she mentioned that, like many others, she had intended to eat healthy on the first Monday of the year, but then succumbed to a craving. In fact, statistics reveal that 25 per cent of individuals who adopt a resolution fail within the first week, and eating healthier continues to be the most popular resolution made globally. And while Kapoor may be one of the few to publicly embrace her falling off the healthy eating wagon, the same isn’t always the case for so many others who struggle with feelings of despair, failure, and hopelessness when they can’t stay true to their desired healthier palate. These feelings are often collectively termed as diet anxiety, as Luke Coutinho, a holistic lifestyle coach and co-founder of You Care Lifestyle, explains.
