Have you ever started a diet or a new fitness regime only to give up after a few weeks? Well, if you had kept it up for just one more week, you could have developed a lifelong commitment, according to TV presenter and psychologist Dr Cecilia d'Felice.
At a speech she gave at the 9th National Nutrition and Health conference on Friday, she spoke about how the brain neuron's make permanent changes if you repeat a certain set of behaviour for 21 days. So next time you feel like giving in, carry on reinforcing your behaviour for just three weeks and you're much more likely to make lifelong changes. What do you think? If you've changed your fitness or diet lately, write in and tell us how you did it.
