While many people are thinking about their New Year's resolutions, over a third (34%) of people believe that improving their diet will be the hardest thing to do this year, more so than improving their romantic relationship (22%) or even their career (9%), according to new research.
According to a survey of 2,000 participants, eating more ethically will be a major focus in 2024. Almost half of the respondents (57%) said that choosing more ethical foods is their top goal for the year, followed by reducing their intake of red meat (37%) and creating more environmentally friendly daily routines (56%).
Furthermore, 67% of respondents say they will probably replace what they're eating with healthier options, and 67% say they'll make at least three healthy substitutions.
Among these substitutions are eating more turkey (31%), drinking more water (62%), preparing homemade salad dressing (59%), and eating fruits (34%), rather than pork or sugary drinks.
Additionally, half of them will reconsider their breakfast selections; of those who make healthy changes, 85% will choose turkey over pork for their bacon next year.
More than being healthy for , people are more motivated to be healthy for their partner (28% vs. 19%), according to a OnePoll survey conducted on behalf of Godshall's Quality Meats.
However, they also expect some challenges in the future. Seven out of ten (73%) believe it will be challenging to learn how to cook or prepare healthier substitutes for the ones they are making.
Some think it won't be so simple to get their family to appreciate these options (59%) and to discover new go-to foods that they love (51%).
Parker Wallace, the owner of Parker's Plate, said that switching from pork bacon to turkey bacon is an easy and healthful option for anyone following a high-protein diet or trying to cut back on fat. "Turkey bacon made without additives tastes great and has half the saturated fat and less total fat than pork bacon."
Almost eight out of ten (78%) people said it's easier to start with small changes rather than to completely change one's diet when it comes to making healthier choices.
Furthermore, they are letting their past make the decisions: 60% of them, or six out of ten, have already made some of the healthy changes they intend to make in the upcoming year.
According to Ron Godshall, President of Godshall's Quality Meats, "looking for brands that take sustainable actions to create an environmental impact is important as consumers become more eco-conscious in 2024." "In addition to lowering our carbon footprint, we've committed to going green by utilizing solar energy and clean-burning natural gas."
