Why You Should Keep a Food Journal

March 22, 2015 By Philip Leave a Comment

WHY YOU SHOULD KEEP A FOOD JOURNAL

Part of your weight loss journey includes watching what you eat.  When I started my weight loss journey, I tried different diet plans, such as Atkins.  But while I lost a few pounds, I never found the diets to be practical to my life, or they had adverse effects on my body.

What I eventually found that worked best, and still works well for me, is keeping a food journal.  Studies have shown that keeping a food journal can double your weight loss. The reason is simply that you become mindful of how many calories you’re really taking in.  You can then learn how to make better choices when you eat; like switching fruit for french fries.

My personal favorite app for keeping a food journal is Lose It. It’s a free app that allows you to scan bar codes for almost every food you buy and instantly pull in the nutritional information.  It also does a great job of remembering your foods that you eat most often, so you don’t have to search each time.

Whatever method you chose, start your food journal today to help keep weight loss on track.

I've always hated exercise and getting on the floor, out of the question. Eight weeks ago, I didn't know what to expect or if I could successfully do the program. Philip was so patient with me and trained me at a level that I could sustain. I have never been excited about working out. I actually began to look forward to working out with him. At the end of the eight weeks, I feel stronger, I have more energy, and my sleep has improved. I'm even down seven pounds. I was so pleased with the results that I signed up for an additional eight weeks. Thanks Philip!  (Individual results may vary)
