YOU’VE THROWN ALL THE CHOCOLATE AWAY, YOU’RE GOOGLING “HEALTHY RECIPES”, YOU’VE SIGNED UP TO NEW YEAR YOGA CLASSES AND YOU NEVER WANT TO SEE ANOTHER GOOSE FAT POTATO – THE SIGNS YOU’RE OFFICIALLY READY FOR A NEW YEAR HEALTH KICK 

Seven in ten (72 percent) Brits reach a point between Christmas and New Year, where they cannot WAIT to get back to a healthy routine, with the majority (34 percent) of Brits pledging to get back to it on the 2nd January, according to a new nationwide poll.

But a more resilient one in five (21 percent) plan to continue to eat, drink and be merry right up until Monday the 6th January.

The research of 2,000 Britons, has revealed a host of signs you’re ready for your January reset – with frantically tidying and organising the house the biggest indicator (38 percent).

Having a strong urge to tear the tree down (25 percent) before the twelfth night – and purchasing a new 2025 planner or diary (22 percent) are other signals you’re excited for a January routine.

Other signals include, throwing chocolate away (18 percent), pledging to ONLY cook wholesome meals (16 percent), and encouraging your kids to do something constructive (13 percent).

Yet despite our best efforts, over half  (58 percent) say it’s hard getting back into a healthy routine, according to the poll by HelloFresh.

Overall, the survey found a resounding NINE in ten (90 percent) agree, enjoying regular, healthy home cooked meals is one of their main priorities for January.

Mimi Morley, Senior Recipe Development Manager at HelloFresh, says: “January is the perfect time to reset, and we know that getting back into a routine can be tough, especially when it comes to mealtimes, which is why we’re making it easy to get a nutritious, home-cooked meal on the table without all the hassle.

“The meal kits are full of fresh ingredients and simple instructions, so even on those busy evenings, families can enjoy dinner together without spending hours in the kitchen. It’s all about making mealtime a little easier, so families can focus on what really matters – being together.”

Listening to healthy podcasts, dreaming of green vegetables, yearning for wild swimming and wanting to get dressed are other signs you are ready to kiss goodbye to December.
