If you want to be successful in your
weight loss efforts; keep a
food journal. It is an excellent way help
you learn about your eating habits, understand your
triggers and help you identify why you are making
certain food choices.
What Is A
Food Journal?
A
food journal
is simply a diary or record of all the foods that you
consume on a daily basis. To get an even better
understanding of your eating habits, you can also
record your water consumption, your moods when you are
eating, the company you are with and the location you
are in. Do you eat when you are happy, sad,
bored, stressed or frustrated? You might begin
to see patterns about yourself that you may not have
realized. A
food journal can be done for a week, months
or on an ongoing basis.
Why Use a
Food Journal?
Journaling helps people see in
black and white why they may not be reaching their
goals. They often say, "I don’t eat that much," until
they see their own
food journals;
maybe they have been underestimating their food
intake. Often just knowing that someone else is going
to be looking at what they eat is enough some people
make better choices.
Food journaling takes all of the guesswork
out of trying to figure out just how many calories we
consumed.
You can take the
food journal
one step farther and use it as a basis for a healthy
meal plan. With some modifications, you can learn how
to transform an unhealthy meal into a nutritious,
healthy balanced meal. Once you get into the habit of
recording, you can actually put together your own
personal healthy cookbook consisting of the foods you
enjoy and feel confident knowing that they are part of
your healthy eating plan.
To obtain the best results with
your
food journal:
-Be honest with yourself
- Try to keep your journal in a convenient place(
posted on the fridge, in your day-timer or beside your
bed)
- Try to record when you eat instead of trying to
remember back a full day or more
- Include tasting and nibbling—those calories add up.
