But just seven per cent will become teetotallers as part of their New Year health kick.

Charity Alcohol Concern launched “Dry January” in 2013, urging people to quit booze after Christmas. But it has faced growing competition from campaign group Veganuary — whose supporters say a plant-based lifestyle reduces animal suffering and helps the planet.

Now five per cent of all Brits are expected to try veganism in 2019, compared with six per cent quitting booze, the poll of 2,000 by VoucherCodes.co.uk shows.

67 per cent of adults have a New Year’s resolution, with saving money and exercising more the most common.

Anita Naik, of VoucherCodes.co.uk, said: “We’ve seen a real surge in people going vegan — and it’s interesting to see it overtake Dry January among young adults’ resolutions.”

Veganuary’s Rich Hardy, said: “Millennials are said to be the driving force behind the global shift from meat and spearheading dietary change.”

Around 1.05 per cent of adults in Britain are vegan, equal to about 540,000 people — up from 150,000 a decade ago.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
