Now were into the fourth month of the year, hows your New Years resolutions going?

If you were one of the many who picked losing weight or eating more healthily as their aim for 2017, youre probably not going so great. We dont say that because we doubt your willpower, but because the research shows youre very unlikely to have stuck to your best intentions.

A great blog by the CSIRO sets out the stats that back up that supposition; nine out of 10 Aussie adults have attempted to lose weight at some time, five in 10 have tried more than six times to do the same, and almost one in five has tried more than 25 times!

So, where do we go so wrong?

The CSIROs scientists studied 4,000 people to learn how Australians diet, which helped it identify five distinct diet personality types, all of which have their own particular pitfall. The science agency believes that although eating more healthily will help people lose weight, each personality type has its own Achilles heel when it comes to staying on the diet wagon.

Heres how the diet personalities line up:

The Thinker makes up 41 percent of all dieters. These people are goal-oriented and analytical, but they overthink their diet and worry about it, and that can lead to anxiety and stress that kicks off over-eating, derailing the best of diet plans.

The Craver, at 25 percent of all dieters, loves yummy food and finds it hard to stop eating, particularly in tempting situations. The CSIRO found that young adults and people who were obese tended to fall into this group.

The Foodie 15 percent are the most likely to be in a normal weight range, despite enjoying making, eating and experiencing food.

The Socialiser 15 percent need flexibility. They wont let a diet restrict their social life.

The Freewheeler 4 percent- is a spontaneous and impulsive eater, which makes planning meals hard for them.

CSIRO launched a free diet plans launched around the diet personality type, to help people avoid their personal pitfalls.

Manny Noakes, research director at the CSIRO, says that dieters have always assumed that losing weight was just about picking theright foods, when behavioural science was needed to help people stick to their diet and sustain their weight loss.

For many people, they will achieve success eating a healthy diet but actually maintaining it appears to be elusive for a good number of people, Noakes told 9Honey. We do think [ours] is a unique and new approach.

The CSIROs Total Wellbeing Diet isnt free, but you can check your Healthy Diet Score at no cost to see how your food choices measure up against Australias healthy eating guidelines.
