Teaching the S.M.A.R.T. method for goal setting as part of health-related outreach gives shoppers a framework that can make goals more attainable.
For many people, the start of a new year brings resolutions to eat better, exercise regularly, sleep more, manage stress and other health-related goals.
Although these are worthy goals, most people will abandon their New Year’s resolutions within a few months, according to the 2023 Forbes Health/One Poll. Specifically, the survey found that the average resolution lasts just 3.74 months, with 8% of respondents sticking with it for just one month, 22% for two months, 22% for three months and 13% for four months.

But there’s good news, too. Retailers and retail dietitians can help shoppers succeed by providing programs, information and support to turn health-related resolutions (i.e., goals) into lasting lifestyle changes. And what better place to learn about healthy eating than the supermarket?
