Somehow 2020 has already arrived, but again, it's the same story: we begin the new year with bold, unrealistic and often unachievable resolutions to follow. The age-old mantra that tops most of our lists? Losing weight and eating healthier. And although yes, this resolution definitely is achievable with a healthy diet and exercise, we all often go too hard in at first, limiting and restricting ourselves.
The result? Being left unmotivated, overwhelmed and relapsing old unhealthy habits. So make your healthy eating resolution easy this year, with Esquire Singapore's best healthy spots to grab a bite and enjoy effortlessly sticking to this year’s resolution, while also enjoying a delicious meal.
