There's so much pressure to go on a diet at this time of year.  Post Christmas we can start to feel that build of up anxiety about how we’ve overindulged over the festival period, about the weight we’ve put on or about how we regret our eating behaviour.

When it comes to eating and health, however, there is every point, and this podcast (and accompanying blog article...
