If you think that taking the time to write down what
you eat each day is cumbersome, boring and too hard to do, then you may want to
read this:
The National Institute of Health (NIH) assembled a
group of 1600 obese people and asked them to write down everything they ate at
least 1 day per week.
Slowly, people began recording meals once a week and
sometimes more often. Some even started a daily food log and it soon became a
habit.
The regular food log group soon found themselves
looking at their entries and began finding patterns. The 10AM snackers began
keeping apples and bananas at their desk and slowly began replacing junk food
with healthy food in all their meals.
The researchers hadn't suggested any of these behaviors
but the simple act of food journaling led to folks who kept daily food journals
lose twice as much weight as anyone else.
This week, let's create a food journal for our own heath.

PS: Research has repeatedly revealed that sharing the
weight loss journal with a close friend/family member increases the
effectiveness of the initiative even further!

to log food diary and workout diary that really helps you to track how
