Keep Track Of What and When You Eat!
Keeping track of things helps you see where you have been and what you need to change……doing things haphazardly will give you haphazard results…..this definitely applies to what we eat, how much we eat, why we eat and when we eat. SO, START THE NEW YEAR OUT RIGHT BY WRITING DOWN WHAT YOU EAT IN A FOOD JOURNAL……some of you already journal what you do on a daily basis so just add food to your journaling!
Research has proven that you will have a better chance of succeeding with your meal plan and fat loss if you keep a food journal! By logging your actual food choices, you are holding yourself accountable throughout the day. You will also be forced to plan your meals better. It will also help protect you from binge eating and emotional eating if you write down why you eat what you eat!
Don’t underestimate this important step!

Food journaling is my missing link. I don’t know why it is so hard to keep with it. I need to put more effort into it.
I do this and I agree that it is essential. Without it, I’d have no idea what I was doing!
I got away from doing this for obsessive reasons, but there comes a time when the old paper and pen (no calorie counting for me) just helps you to really see things clearly… Thank Mark.
Have a good one.
Thanks for the comments ladies!
