Over two in five Canadians each say they either plan on losing weight (43%) or not losing weight (44%) in 2025, while over one in ten are unsure (13%). Asked how they are planning to lose weight, over nine in ten say they will do so by changing their diet/eating better (93%) followed by exercise (80%).
