New Year’s Resolutions Check-In (and Chicken)

Five Resolutions Georges Farmers Market Can Help You Achieve

We’re a few weeks into 2023, and the question is — how are your New Year’s resolutions holding up? Every year, almost 40% of adults set New Year’s resolutions in the United States. However, almost half are expected to fail before the end of January — 43% to be exact. Even more staggering — 23% of people fail within the first week. If you’re included in those who have already failed — don’t stop reading! It’s never the wrong time to resolve to do better in some area of your life. And we at Georges Farmers Market can help! 

According to the Statista Global Consumer Survey, the most common resolution in the United States for 2023 was to exercise more. Unfortunately, we have no chicken-based advice for that. We could… put you to work on the farm? That seems like a bad idea. You’re on your own for that one. But we can help you with many other common resolutions.  

Check out some of the top New Year’s resolutions people made this year — and see how you can accomplish them with our chicken at your side (or on your table)!

1) Eat Healthier

Eating healthier is the second most popular resolution in the United States this year, with 50% of people ready to take on the challenge. And we are ready to help you succeed with this resolution! We raise our chickens without hormones, steroids, or antibiotics and always with a non-GMO diet, giving you a product that feels good and tastes good! Chicken also provides a great source of protein, with one of our boneless, skinless chicken breasts containing 26 grams in a 4-ounce serving!

Other health benefits of chicken include:

  • Builds stronger bones and muscles 
  • Helps with weight management 
  • Improves heart health 
  • Boosts mood 
  • Contains vitamin B12, zinc, copper, and iron

If you’ve resolved to eat healthier, here are a few of our favorite healthy recipes.

2) Lose Weight

Losing weight came in as the third most common resolution this year, making the top three all health related. The new year is a great time to focus on your health — and the masses agree, with 70% of all resolutions relating to physical health, according to a Swiss study. 

As mentioned above, chicken provides an excellent source of protein — and increased protein intake can help propel your weight loss journey. Studies show that consuming protein as 30% of your daily calories helps you lose weight.  

A high-protein diet: 

  • Boosts metabolism, helping you burn more calories 
  • Reduces appetite, helping you eat fewer calories 
  • Balances weight-regulating hormones

3) Save Money

In an era of inflation, saving money is at the top of everyone’s minds — and at the top of 39% of resolution lists. We pride ourselves on offering affordable prices so every family can enjoy our delicious chicken. 

Our saddlepacks offer a great money-saving solution. These packs divide the product into four individually sealed sections, meaning you can buy in bulk and freeze some for later. We offer saddlepacks of our boneless, skinless chicken breasts; our chicken breast tenderloins, and our boneless, skinless chicken thighs

Our products are sold exclusively in Sam’s Clubs around the United States. Find a store near you today!

4) Spend More Time with Family and Friends

Coming in at the fifth most popular resolution this year, spending more time with family and friends is something that could benefit us all. And what better way to spend time with them than around a wonderful meal? Having no-phone dinner times is a great way to intentionally connect with your family, and you can also host a special dinner party for your friends.

5) Learn a New Hobby or Skill

It’s never the wrong time to learn a new hobby or skill. Cooking is always a great skill to perfect — and the people in your house will thank you for it. Or, you can always become a grill master! If that’s your path of action, our chicken is the perfect accomplice. 

As you enter this new year strong, I hope our chicken helps you achieve some of your resolutions.

Happy 2023, friends!
