           But one problem is that few people can stick to a diet for long.

                    It's never too late to improve your diet.
                    ...a healthy diet rich in fruit and vegetables...

2. If you stick to something, you continue doing, using saying or talking about it, rather than changing to something else.

              situations.

       Rather than introduces the thing or situation that is not true or that you do not want.
         ex ) When I'm going out in the evening I use the bike if I can rather than the car.

3. If you stick to something or someone when you are travelling, you stay close to them.
      ex) There are interesting hikes inland, but most ramblers stick to the clifftops...
