If your New Year’s resolutions include weaving more whole grain into your diet, Multi Grain Cheerios cereal is a perfect way to start. Studies have shown that people who choose more whole grain tend to weigh less than those who don’t. And if managing your weight is also on your list, then social media is a great way to get your family and friends involved.
Facebook has made it especially easy with Groups. Setting one up can give your efforts a boost by giving you and others a place to:
- Read, comment and encourage in support of each others’ efforts
- Post before and after pictures to show off your progress
- Share exercise tips and instructional videos that you find online
- Create calendar events for gatherings like “breakfast and a workout”
Plus, a Facebook Group offers varying degrees of privacy. So if you want to keep your efforts a secret (and wait for the big reveal of your success), you can keep access limited to only those invited.
But best of all, you’re not limited to geography. So your co-worker across town can team up with your sister in Buffalo and your roommate from college in Tampa.
Why wait to get started? Set up your group at http://www.facebook.com/groups and get going.
