Writing down the foods you eat during the day is a proven method to promote weight loss and to help keep the weight off. It is one of my least favorite things to do but--It is a simple procedure that can help you understand your eating habits and target problem areas you may have. It is important to be honest with yourself when recording food items and amounts. The food journal can act like a mirror by revealing to you what goes into your body.It can be a very useful tool if done properly. If you are not writing a food log- chances are you are not seeing the scale move either! Challenge yourself, make that your goal for the next 2 weeks. It really does help--try it for a week or two! Remember we can give you the tools to lose weight, it is up to you what you do with them! For those of you that don't want to write a journal maybe try an online journal like http://www.thedailyplate.com/ . I love the daily plate and It is fun once you get started. It tracks everything, food, nutrition values, exercise, and even how much water you drink! You can even do a print out to show us what your eating! Don't lie to yourself or guess what your eating! Really help yourself reach your goals to be healthy and happy!!! Have a great day!!!
