For some, another year might just mean another failed attempt at seeing New Year's resolutions all the way through. There are statistics that show only 9.2% of people report actually achieving their resolutions. Many people get easily frustrated with themselves if they don't fulfill the goals they set, even if they don't see immediate results from the efforts they do put in.

However, it's possible that the types of resolutions you are making are, in fact, setting you up for failure. Frankly, you might just be making the worst resolutions possible. Think about it: do you really want to achieve an unpractical goal? Or worseone that benefits you in the short term and then backfires in the long term? It's time to scratch those plans and start fresh.

We asked doctors to share what they and their colleagues consider to be the worst New Year's resolutions you can make for 2021 so you know what to avoid. Read on, and for more on how to eat healthily in 2021, don't miss Simple Ways to Start Losing Weight Immediately, According to Science.

"As a doctor, it is common for me to encounter patients that will say they want to eat healthier. The problem is that they often do not know exactly what this means, and the resolution is not specific enough. It would be more helpful for an individual to first define what eating healthy is and what it means to them. Next, they should be specific about what changes they plan to make in their diet to ensure they are eating healthier." Or, check out these8 Easy Tricks for Eating Healthy Every Day. Cedrina L.

"It's easy to set benchmarks for physical beauty by the celebrities we see every day, but trying to look like your favorite celebrity isn't just misguided, it's downright unhealthy. Everyone is different, including their genetics, body chemistry, and lifestyle. Celebrities often have certain advantages (physical and financial) that the average person doesn't have, so many people will be disappointed if their efforts of healthy eating and exercise don't lead to A-list results." Dr. Hayley Brown of Desert Hills Plastic Surgery Center

"Instead of focusing on the number on the scale and having extreme goals that will create unhealthy outcomes, why don't we instead focus on behaviors we might want to change. Perhaps you want to engage more in body movement in the new year or maybe you want to be more mindful of listening to your body cues of hunger [and] fullness and not engaging in mindless eating. That is more sustainable and healthy in the long run!" Kelsey M. Latimer, PhD, CEDS-S, and Founder of Hello Goodlife

"As a physician of internal medicine and vitamin expert, I see many people make resolutions to take large quantities of vitamins in the new year. This is not a good idea for many reasons. First, it never lastsno one continues taking handfuls of supplements forever because it's frankly too much and it's neither pleasant nor good for you. Secondly, it is not good for your health. These handfuls of pills are typically excessive and can, in fact, cause harm. We do advocate a personalized approach to taking the right vitamins based on your diet, lifestyle, and health concerns. Doing so, via a personalized multivitamin (only one or two pills daily) is typically the best way to get what you need in safe and doable amounts. It is also much more likely to create a lasting and effective habit that will ultimately give you better health, energy, and ability to improve your overall lifestyle."Arielle Levitan,MD, co-founder of Vous Vitamin, and co-author of "The Vitamin Solution: Two Doctors Clear the Confusion About Vitamins and Your Health."

"Saying that you want to start exercising or exercising more is a great resolution to make, but it isn't specific enough. Sticking to this goal will be difficult if you haven't first defined what exercise means to you, and how you plan to carry out this resolution. Make a clear and specific resolution that includes the type of exercise, the amount, and the length of time." Calder

"Liposuction is not a weight-loss tool but a body shaping process. It works best in patients who are at or very close to their normal weight, and have stubborn areas of fat that are out of proportion with the rest of their figure." Dr. John Corey, board-certified plastic surgeon

"All too often, people eat and drink too much from Thanksgiving through New Year's Eve. People decide to starve themselves beginning Jan. 1 to get rid of the excess weight quickly. This is a terrible resolution because our bodies turn food into energy so we can accomplish the tasks of daily living, including keeping our brains healthy. Without new sources of energy, our bodies rely solely on our stored fat, which turns into ketones, and too many ketones can be unhealthy."

Here's a better New Year's resolution instead:

"Many people don't want to hear it, but eating healthy, sensible meals and exercising are the best ways to lose weight year-round. It is not a quick fix, but it's a long-term solution to live our best, healthiest lives." Dr. Miriam Alexander,medical director of employee health & wellness at LifeBridge Health

"This is another great resolution, but people fail at it because they don't know the best way to go about quitting. Very often, people attempt to quit "cold turkey" and unfortunately, very few people are successful at this method. What people don't realize is that the best method to quitting involves a combination of two things: tobacco cessation medications and behavior changes. To increase your chances of successfully quitting smoking, speak with your doctor about medication options, and ask to be referred to a behavioral therapist or seek one out on your own." Calder

"While some exercise is better than none, exercising indoors exclusively can deprive us of exposure to sunlight. Sun exposure helps our bodies synthesize vitamin D, a hormone that is important for bone and tissue health, immunity and other metabolic processes. Exercising outside is a good way to help boost your vitamin D levels in the coming year." Chirag Shah,MD, co-founder of Accesa Labs

"We often put the needs of other people first, so we put off taking the time to make healthy foods, exercise, get enough sleep, relax and other basic needs. To make up for 12 months of not taking care of ourselves, we decide to make the new year the time we are going to get our lives in orderevery aspect of our lives. Unfortunately, if we try to do too much and to change too many things at one time, this can set us up to fail at everything." Alexander

Worst New Year's Resolutions, According to Doctors - Eat This, Not That

The real challenge (and victory) in weight loss is maintaining that slim waist after you've shed those extra pounds. Weight cycling, commonly known as yo-yo-dieting, is a frequent problem of many people who lose substantial pounds. A study in the journal Obesity, which followed 14 contestants from The Biggest Loser for six years after the 2009 season, found that 13 of the former contestants regained weight after the competition ended. And four contestants actually weighed more than did when they first joined the show. The researchers who conducted the study say after someone loses weight, the body reacts with a potentially handicapping combination: a stronger appetite and slowing metabolism. So how do you fight back?

Put these 10 simple strategies into play to control hunger, rev up your metabolism, and avoid pound creep from gradual increases in calorie consumption. And while you're at it, try out these 15 Underrated Weight Loss Tips That Actually Work.

If you've recently shed a ton of weight, you should absolutely celebrate your successwith a tall glass of water! Just kidding. Go ahead and treat yourself. You deserve it. However, if your celebrations involve many consecutive happy hours or big portions of your favorite, fat- and sugar-laden chocolate cakes, odds are, you'll see the weight creep back onto you before you know it. Remind yourself of this sobering stat before you open a bottle of wine: alcohol can decrease your body's fat-burning ability by up to 73%!

Here's a smarter way to celebrate: reward yourself with something you can't put in your mouth. Leah Kaufman, MS, RD, CDN, a New York City-based Registered Dietitian, suggests making a concerted effort to not use food as a reward. "I suggest using things like manicures and SoulCycle classes as a reward for all the hard work," she says. When you eat junk food during times of emotional eating, it "will only lead to unhealthy yo-yo dieting."

The most important concept to keep in mind after you've lost significant pounds is "metabolic adaptation."

During weight loss, your body's metabolism naturally slows down calorie burn on a daily basis to hang onto fat. In addition, your levels of leptin, the satiety hormone that tells your body when you've had your fill, actually drop after weight loss, so you may feel hungry. The key to avoiding going back to eating the same number of calories you did before you lost weight is to double down on your awareness of calorie content and size of meals. Do that by keeping a daily food diary for at least a week after you've reached your weight-loss goal. Studies show that being more mindful of what you eat (and how many calories they contain) will help you to make healthier food choices and reduce snacking on calorie-dense processed foods. Such a casual accounting will also turn the spotlight on how much (or little) fiber you are getting in your diet. A high-fiber diet, primarily from beans, legumes, fruits, and vegetables is critical to maintaining weight loss.

Most people who've reached their goal weight stop stepping on the scale. That's a mistake. Although the number on the scale isn't the only way to judge your continued success, research shows that those who avoid the ritual tend to pack on more weight than those who don't. Why? The scale keeps you mindful of your diet, and it will quickly tip you off to weight regain. There's no need to be a slave to your scale; checking in once a week should do the trick. And here's a tip: Since weight naturally fluctuates throughout the week, researchers say that Wednesday weigh-ins are the most accurate.

These enticing frozen options are marketed as nutritious and convenient, so we can't say we blame you for grabbing one off the shelf. But many of them are healthy-eating, pound-dropping enemies in disguise. Just because they're touted as portion-controlled and low calorie, doesn't mean you should stock up. Like most ultra-processed foods, many frozen entres from diet programs pack a surprising amount of health-harming sugar7 grams or more, plus inflammation-causing, processed additives. And as often as possible, make your meals at home from scratch. Doing so can help you banish these added sugars as well as to cut calorie consumption by an average of 200 calories a day, according to Johns Hopkins researchers.

After hitting your goal weight, some regimented dietary habits are bound to fall by the wayside. And, if eating adequate amounts of protein is one of them, it may be the reason the weight is starting to sneak back on. While getting enough of the nutrient can keep your muscle from breaking down, not getting enough can slow your metabolic rate. Just maintaining muscle mass helps to burn calories faster, so your body will then torch unwanted fat. Without muscle, you'll be more susceptible to unwanted weight gain.

Protein intake differs by the individual. However, for many people, consuming 0.8 to one gram of protein per kilogram of body weight per day should be sufficient enough to help maintain your weight loss. For a 130-pound person, that would equal between 46 and 58 grams of protein. Good sources of the nutrient include low-fat dairy, beans, grilled chicken, fish, lean cuts of beef, pork, grains or nuts, and quinoa.

It may have worked to drop water weight and melt away the pounds at first, but completely slashing your carbohydrate intake will leave you with some not-so-pleasant side effects that can make it hard to go about your daily routine. Your body will start to exhibit signs of exhaustion, irritability, and lethargyall emotions, which have also been connected with overeating.

"Carbs are essential [in our daily lives] as our brain and [central nervous system] require them continuously to work properly," says trainer and RD, Tim McComsey. Restricting carbs completely will cause any newly-added, fat-burning muscle mass to be metabolized for energy, rather than carbs. As long as you keep carbs to a reasonable percentage of your daily calories, and choose the right ones, these starches don't have to hit the curb.

While working out is critical for maintaining your metabolism, if you haven't switched up your workout routine recently, your body's main calorie-torching mechanism may have idled down to slow-burn. Wake up your metabolic rate by shocking your muscles, suggests Sean M. Wells, personal trainer and author of Double-Crossed: A Review of the Most Extreme Exercise Program.

"If you've been doing the same workout for the past few months, your body isn't being challenged anymore, meaning it's not burning as many calories as it otherwise could," he explains. If you normally ride a bike for exercise, try running or tennis to give your metabolism a kick. Can't bear to leave your stationary bike? Look for an intense spin class or challenge yourself by changing up your typical route. Work in some steep, long hill climbs to increase resistance.

Antidepressants, birth control pills, beta-blockers, anti-seizure and migraine meds, steroids, and rheumatoid arthritis treatments can all affect appetite, metabolism, and weight. Never stop taking a prescription drug on your own. If you believe a drug is causing your weight gain, inform your doctor; he or she may adjust the medication or suggest an alternative.

Inadequate sleep can slow your metabolism and pile on the pounds. In a study, researchers analyzed more than 500 participants' weekday sleep diaries and found that losing a mere 30 minutes of shut-eye increased their risk of obesity by 17%! Even mild sleep deprivation causes ghrelinthe hunger-stimulating hormoneto go into overdrive while simultaneously reducing levels of leptinthe hormone that suppresses appetite. In turn, this stimulates hunger even when you're full which can lead to overeating and weight gain.

The National Sleep Foundation suggests logging seven or eight hours of quality sleep each night. If you want to get back to your more slender self, try going to bed 15 minutes earlier than usual. See how you feel in the morning. Continue adjusting your bedtime until you awake without an alarm clock assist and feel refreshed and well-rested.

Here's an easy way to combat the metabolism slow down that often comes after weight loss: Drink green tea, a natural metabolism booster rocket. In a study, participants who added a daily habit of drinking 4 to 5 cups of green tea to their 25-minute workout routine lost an average of two more pounds and more belly fat than the non-tea drinkers. How does it work? The brew contains catechins, a type of antioxidant that triggers the release of fat from fat cells and helps speed the liver's capacity for turning fat into energy, which will help rev up your metabolism. And if you're looking for more, here's how you can harness the power of tea to lose weight.

10 Best Ways To Keep Belly Fat Off for Good, Say Experts | Eat This Not That - Eat This, Not That

Usually when Lizzie Keen is seeing patients at Doctors Hospital of Augusta, their chronic conditions have already worsened and the registered dietitian is trying to help themget things under control. For those who will be making a New Year's resolution to lose weight and get healthier, however, she thinks small and steady change is better.

Vowing to lose weight in the new year is always a top resolution people make: 65% of men in a survey of those ages 30-65 were making a resolution to lose weight next year, according to the telehealth company Vault Health.

For many it is more of an ongoing resolution.The number of adults age 20 and older who are following a special diet in the U.S. increased from 14.3% in 2007-08 to 17.4% in 2017-18, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. Those rates increase with age, with those age 20-39 reporting 13.3% on a special diet compared with 19.3% for those 60 and older, according to a recent report from the center.

The biggest mistake people make, however, is in thinking of it as a diet, Keen said.

"Probably the first mistake people make is saying, 'I am going to go on a diet' vs. 'I am going to make some healthy lifestyle changes to manage my chronic disease,'"she said. "Saying you are on a diet constitutes restriction."

A better word is moderation. Too often people are focused on rapid weight loss when the goal should be no more than two pounds a week, Keen said.

"More than that, it is unhealthy and it can be attributed to fluid loss, which is not good because obviously you want to stay hydrated," she said. "Also the faster you lose weight, the sooner you plateau. Then people might not be seeing results as quickly, get frustrated and go to more drastic measures, which arenot sustainable in the long run."

As a better way to set goals, Keen offers the acronym SMART:Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-bound or Timely.

"If you can set your goals up that way, it just overall makes it more sustainable," she said. "If you create small goals, they are a lot easier to meet, you are a lot more likely to keep yourself accountable and they are a lot more likely to turn into lifestyle changes versus just a temporary diet. If you make too many changes at once, it can be overwhelming, it can be unmanageable, and difficult to adhere to."

Also, think about other areas that will help promote better health, such as exercise, getting an adequate amount of sleep, stress management and hydration, Keen said. Often when one area is out of balance, it can throw the others off as well, she said.

"If you dont get enough sleep, you tend to overeat," Keen said. "If you dont get enough sleep, you tend to be more stressed. If you are more stressed, you tend not to sleep as well" and then it becomes a vicious cycle.

Also, think about stretching more, she said.

"Alot of of people dont think about that, but that plays into exercise," Keen said. "Just daily stretching can provide you with a lot of benefits."

That could be particularly true this year, she said.

"A lot of people are working from home now, sitting in a chair for a majority of the day, not getting up and walking around as much as they might in a work setting," Keen said. "(Stretching) is a great way to relieve joint pain, get the body moving, get a little bit of exercise into your sedentary workday, and it just makes you feel better all over."

Ultimately,it might be better to start off with one healthy change, stickwith that for a month until it becomes a habit,thenadd a new goal for the next month, she said.

"Think tortoise, not hare," Keen said. "Slow and steady is going to win the race when it comes to lifestyle choices."

Researchers have found that too much visceral fat is linked to high blood pressure, sleep apnea, diabetes, stroke, and heart disease.

But what is visceral fat, and why is it so dangerous to your health? More importantly, how do you get rid of visceral fat if youre carrying too much?

This article discusses how to tell if you have too much visceral fat, how to get rid of it, and why its a good idea to put in the extra effort to do so.

Visceral fat is just one of four types of fat you store on and in your body. What differentiates visceral fat from other types is mainly location and how unhealthy it is for you:

The reason excessive visceral fat can increase the risk of heart disease, cancer, and type 2 diabetes is because of how close it is to a major vein called the portal vein that heads to your liver.

Excess fat produces fatty acids (or lipids) that hitch a ride through the portal vein to the liver where they can cause issues with insulin and cholesterol. This, in turn, can cause or exacerbate cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer.

Moreover, belly fat is thought to manipulate some of the hormones, like leptin, that control our hunger. And people who are obese have been found to have elevated levels of leptin, subsequently causing them to feel hungry more often, which could lead to more weight gain in the long-run.

Visceral fat is located under your muscles, so you can neither see nor feel it. Therefore, to tell if you have too much visceral fat you can either calculate your BMI or check your waist circumference.

Its important to note that BMI isnt always a clear indicator of how much excess body fat youre carrying. Therefore, its important to also consider your waist circumference and consult a physician about whether or not you have too much visceral fat.

According to Harvard Medical School, youre at high risk of excess visceral fat if youre a man with a waist circumference of over 40 inches or a woman with a waist circumference over 35 inches or more.

It can be tricky to tell if youre losing visceral fat, since youll likely be losing subcutaneous fat too. According to Michael Russo, MD, bariatric surgeon at MemorialCare Surgical Weight Loss Centre, keeping track of your BMI and waist circumference are the best ways to tell if you are losing visceral fat.

The best way to tackle visceral fat is to make long-term and sustainable lifestyle changes that focus on improving your diet and adding in exercise.

Diet is about 80% of the equation. Exercise is also very important getting your heart rate up for 30 minutes a day, every day, says Russo.

The type of exercise isnt as important as focusing on just getting your heart rate up and working up a sweat. Strength training, cardio, and other forms of exercise will do the trick. If you find yourself having trouble exercising regularly, start by taking long walks around your neighbourhood to work yourself up to more rigorous exercise.

As for diet, long-term lifestyle changes like adding in more veggies daily, watching sodium intake, and moderating the amount of processed foods and sugar you eat, can help you lose and keep visceral fat off.

Outside of following a diet, individuals can monitor total calorie intake, limit refined sugar, and increase the number of lean proteins, whole grains, fruits and vegetables they consume.

With these changes, it is possible to lose visceral fat at a reasonable pace. Though how your body may lose fat depends on factors such as genetics.

In general, visceral fat has been found to drop off more quickly with diet and exercise than other types of fat. Accordinging to Harvard Health, this is because it metabolizes more quickly into acids that the body can then discard (either through pee or sweat). Most doctors recommend that a healthy weight loss timeline works out to about 1-2 pounds a week.

Weight loss is individualized. It will depend on how much visceral fat you have to lose and how your body loses fat. However, according to the Mayo Clinic, cutting calories and exercising at least 30 minutes a day is the best way to approach losing visceral body fat. By sticking to a healthy diet and regular exercise, you should begin to notice a difference within a few months time.

If someone isnt losing visceral fat with lifestyle changes, surgery is another option.

The most effective way to reduce visceral fat if someone is carrying a large amount of it is bariatric or weight loss surgery, which alters you hormonally to a more normal hormonal profile, so your body doesnt want to carry excess fat anymore. Its like turning down the thermostat, says Russo.

Other surgical options that arent quite as effective as bariatric surgery, include balloon-based therapies, which can help limit the amount of food you eat by making you fuller faster.

Losing visceral fat takes time and effort. A low-carb diet and moderate exercise will help you shed any excess fat around your midsection.

Actively working towards losing visceral fat and living a more active lifestyle will benefit you in the long run. Everyone has some visceral fat and having some abdominal fat is not necessarily a sign that you need to lose weight.

However, an excess of belly fat can cause long-term adverse health effects. Its best to consult your physician to see if your belly fat is putting you at risk for heart disease or other health problems.

Billy Connolly, 78, is preparing to retire from live performing due to his advancing Parkinsons Disease. The Big Yin, as he is fondly known in his native Scotland, announced he had been diagnosed with the illness in 2013.

However, despite rising fame in Australia, New Zealand and Canada, Billy struggled to break America until 1990, when he featured in HBOs Whoopi Goldberg and Billy Connolly in Performance.

In his personal life, Billy has been married to Pamela Stephenson since 1989.

He has five children two from his first marriage to Iris Pressagh and three with Pamela.

In 2017, Billy was knighted for his services to entertainment and charity, making his full title Sir William Connolly CBE.

Billy is far from the only comedian to make millions from making people laugh.

American comedian, actor, writer and musicianSteve Martinfirst fell into the limelight in 1968 as a writer and performer on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour.

Since then he has starred in countless blockbuster movies and hit TV shows.

As a result, according to CelebrityNetWorth.com, Steve has accumulated a net worth of approximately $140 million (103 million).

The 75-year-old is credited with over 45 films, having also collected an array of awards and accolades including an Emmy Award.

He is best known for his roles in the films The Jerk, The Man with Two Brains, All of Me, Three Amigos, Roxanne, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Parenthood, Father of the Bride, Cheaper by the Dozen, and The Pink Panther.

However, along with his on-screen roles, Steve is also a well-known comedian.

He has hosted Saturday Night Live 15 times, and a compilation of his greatest moments, SNL: The Best of Steve Martin was released on DVD in 2000.

He also frequently appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.

CHANELLE Hayes shocked fans with her impressive weight loss on Christmas Day - after revealing years of yo-yo dieting had made her go bald.

The 33-year-old star wowed as she uploaded photos of herself in a figure-hugging dress yesterday, but was forced to admit she was showing off a slight food baby, not a pregnancy.

In the post, the former Big Brother favourite is wearing a fluffy blue ribbed midi dress, showing off her enviable figure.

She is posing with her arms around her two children, 10-year-old Blakely and three-year-old Frankie, in one of the snaps.

Another photo shows off her trim arms as she cuddles up to her oldest in her pyjamas.

Followers were surprised by her figure, with Chanelle often covering up in oversized clothes.

One wrote: "You look like you have lost loads of weight, your looking great xxx"

Another added: "I think she looks great, happy healthy, certainly lost weight - loads. Well done".

A third agreed: "My 1st thought was how much weight youve lost ! You're looking fab !"

Despite her slim bod, others drew attention to Chanelle's tummy, wondering if an announcement was being made.

However, she laughed off the claims in the post's caption, which read: "Had a lovely Christmas today with family. The boys were very lucky and happy we could spend it as a family all together. Still absolutely stuffed.

"As I type this I am unwrapping a Ferraro Roche. . (Just to confirm- absolutely NOT PREGNANT!!! Just had a comment saying I look preg but its just all the Xmas food and a lack of core muscles )."

One fan responded: "Pregnant?! Youre looking super slim! Merry Christmas x".

Another echoed: "You look incredible and certainly not pregnant ! "

Chanelle has been open about her battle with yo-yo dieting in the past, admitting earlier this year as she got a hair transplant that her fluctuating weight had caused her tresses to fall out.

Back in 2016, Chanelle revealed she was suffering with severe hair loss, as she shrunk from fourteen stone down to seven stone at her lowest, before going back up to a size 16 in the space of two years.

Her binge eating coupled with scant meals hasn't just made its mark on her appearance - her digestive system had taken a pummelling too.

The beauty said: "When I was slim if I just ate some sweets or a bag of chips I'd straight away put on 5lb because my body was so messed up.

"I find because I've been on such extreme diets in the past, if I try to lose weight my body won't react in the same way.

"It's a much slower process now because I've totally messed up my metabolism."

Last year, the star revealed that she'd lost an impressive three stone and was the smallest she'd been since 2016 - but has been trolled by followers who have accused her of faking her hard work.
