New Yorkers Are Embracing a Plant-Based Lifestyle
Hey there, New Yorkers! 2025 is here and we are looking to start the new year by making some positive changes to our lifestyles. According to a recent survey on 2025 diet resolutions, it looks like Americans from all across the nation are looking to make this year a year of health transformations.
The survey revealed some interesting things, showing that a many Americans are going to do things differently this year and that includes changing our diet. For instance, 45% of Americans are going to reduce their dairy intake this year – and this trend is being embraced among the Gen Zers, with nearly 60% of them looking to cut back on dairy products.
Plant-based foods could end up being the rage this year as almost half (47%) of Americans embrace these nutritious options. It also looks like that many of us are also changing our thoughts on meat consumption with over 1 in 3 people planning to reduce their meat intake this year.

So, what is motivating these changes? Apparently it is things like gut health, long-term well-being, and improved mental health are among the top motivators for Americans seeking to revamp their diets this year.
Weight management also seems to be key, with 39% of individuals embracing a new diet with this goal in mind. Interestingly, 67% of survey respondents view these dietary changes as a long-term rather than a temporary fix.
1 in 2 Americans don't use the word "diet" at all instead choosing to used the optimistic sounding "healthy eating" instead. In fact, 71% of the participants proudly embrace the label of healthy eaters.
