February can be a difficult month for those people who have set themselves the goal of becoming healthier and leaner at new year.

A new poll from YouGov for Weight Watchers has found that 41 per cent of people in the UK made the pledge to lose weight, while 35 per cent said they wanted to eat healthier food this year.

However, a quarter – an estimated ten million Brits – stated they have already failed to keep to at least one of their new year resolutions.

Of these, 34 per cent reported that not sticking to their salubrious regime has led them to experience some level of emotional discomfort.

Lucy Vickers, Weight Watchers nutritionist, said: "People make resolutions because they want to feel better about themselves, but end up feeling lower than when they started by setting unrealistic goals."

Nutritionist Penny Crowther recently stated that those trying to be fitter should not fall into the perfection trap and aim to be healthy 80 per cent of the time.
