Another year has come and gone and it is time again to set those health goals for 2010. If you're like a lot of people, you're experiencing frustration and even disappointment that you didn't achieve the health goals you thought you would have achieved over the past year.

Some of the most common New Year's resolutions center around losing weight and eating better. In the fast-paced world in which we live, when it comes to weight loss and weight control, we want results - and we want them fast. With the dieting messages that surround us, it can be very tempting to resort to fad diets to get the "promised" quick results. However, any diet or eating plan that emphasizes a particular food or eliminates a particular food or food group should raise a red flag, as it goes against the central principles of healthy eating and good nutrition: balance, variety and moderation.
