Food Diary

A food diary is a great way for assessing how you are eating. It helps to understand why you eat the way that you do. A food diary important for keeping that long-term weight management.

One of that hardest things about keeping a food diary is being honest with yourself. Studies have shown that women tend to fudge a little when it comes to keeping record of what we are eating, sometimes up to 1000 calories per day.

Why bother with a diary if you are not going to keep it honest. No one has to see it but you, do yourself a favor and keep to the facts.

We don't have to keep track of the exact calories, just keep track of what you are eating. Write down your protein, carbs and fats. Keep your portion sized on the right scale, we have taught you how, so do it.

Sometimes writing our feelings and moods helps if we are emotional eaters.
