But many [weight-loss]( plans can be completely overwhelming, which sets you up for failure rather than success. Most diets just ask too much of you, too soon. They're so challenging and restrictive, they'll frustrate you into quitting before you see results. "If you can't follow a diet long-term, then your results won't last long-term," says registered dietitian nutritionist Sandy Younan Brikho, MDA, RDN, owner of The Dish on Nutrition. Brikho says one of the biggest mistakes dieters make is trying to make too many big lifestyle changes at the same time, which can be overwhelming especially when you are already so busy. "The biggest recommendation I can make is to focus on only one small change you want to make, master that by making it into a new habit, and then pick your next small change," she says. "That's the secret to getting long-term results that last." In other words, as you face the New Year, don't bite off more than you can chew.
