A recent survey published by Herbalife, a multi-level marketing corporation that develops and sells dietary supplements, found that Americans postpone healthy eating to the new year.
The survey was conducted by OnePoll, a U.K.-based third-party market research firm, and consulted 2,000 American adults and 2,750 international adults from five different countries about their end-of-year eating habits.
Four in two Americans (42%) are reportedly using end-of-year celebrations as an excuse to postpone healthy eating.
Nearly a quarter of Americans (24%) admitted they’re still carrying holiday weight from last year and on average they expect to gain 5.5 pounds by the end of 2022, according to Herbalife’s commissioned survey.
